Transient CO desorption from thin Pt films induced by mid-IR pumping

Kinetic study of CO desorption from cathodic electrochemically treated carbon paper supported Pt electrodes

Platinum particles were grown directly by an electrodeposition process on electrochemically treated carbon paper (CP) for kinetic study of carbon monoxide (CO) desorption. The treatment on CP was performed by applying −2 V for cathodic oxidation over 5 min. Treated CP was characterized by FTIR to investigate the oxygen groups on its surface. CO surface coverage at each temperature was determine...

Coupled precession modes in indirect exchange-coupled [Pt/Co]â•fiCo thin films

Collision-induced desorption in 193-nm photoinduced reactions in (O2+CO) adlayers on Pt(112).

The spatial distribution of desorbing O(2) and CO(2) was examined in 193-nm photoinduced reactions in O(2)+CO adlayers on stepped Pt (112)=[(s)3(111)x(001)]. The O(2) desorption collimated in inclined ways in the plane along the surface trough, confirming the hot-atom collision mechanism. In the presence of CO(a), the product CO(2) desorption also collimated in an inclined way, whereas the incl...

Vacuum Pumping Study of Titanium-zirconium-vanadium Thin Films*

VACUUM PUMPING STUDY OF TITANIUM-ZIRCONIUM-VANADIUM THIN FILMS* Yulin Li and Simon Ho, LEPP, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA Abstract Vacuum pumping via non-evaporable getter (NEG) thin film deposited directly onto the interior of a vacuum chamber is a novel way to achieve extreme high vacuum. As part of R&D efforts for the proposed Energy Recovery Linac at Cornell, the pumping perfor...

Mid-IR plasmonics and photomodification with Ag films

The optical properties of semicontinuous silver films have been studied in the mid infrared. The film extinction spectra are shown to be well tailored by the deposition conditions and post-fabrication photomodification with both nanosecond and picosecond laser pulses at 10.6 μm. The photomodification results in a decrease of the extinction above the laser wavelength. We find that the induced ch...
