Adsorption Studies with Homologs of Superheavy Elements

چکیده
In preparation of chemical studies with superheavy elements around Z = 114, the adsorption behavior of these elements and their lighter homologs on different metals has been predicted based on (semi-)empirical models and extrapolations (see e.g. [1, 2]). Adsorption studies with SHE homologs were performed on various metals, especially metals of group 10 and 11 (see e.g. [3]). The experimental results mainly confirmed the calculated data, but in a few cases great differences between predicted and experimental data were observed. Therefore, the adsorption behavior of SHE homologs on further metals is of great interest to prove the validity of the predictions. In the present work the adsorption of Tl, Pb, Bi, and Po on the group 5 metals V, Nb, Ta as well as on Mo, Ni, Ti has been studied by thermochromatography. Experimental data have been compared to predictions.

Fully relativistic four-component density functional theory with the general gradient approximation calculations have been performed to determine the adsorption energy and position of the superheavy element 112 on a Au surface. Extended cluster as well as embedded cluster calculations were used to simulate the surface which allow for the top, bridge, and hollow adsorption sites without losing t...

Predictions of the interaction of the superheavy elements with various surfaces are essential for their identification and separation. Recently, we have predicted the adsorption properties of the superheavy element 112 on inert surfaces [1]. The calculations were performed using the fully relativistic Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian combined with the coupled cluster method. The accuracy of the result...
متن کاملTheoretical Predictions of Properties and Chemical Behavior of Superheavy Elements
Fully relativistic electronic structure calculations have been performed for gas phase and aqueous phase compounds of elements 104 through 108. Based on these calculations, volatility and complex formation, as well as trends in these properties, have been predicted. The transactinide compounds were shown to exhibit properties very similar to those of the lighter homologs in the respective chemi...

During the last 15 years a lot of effort has been invested in the experimental investigation of the chemical behaviour of superheavy elements. One was able to show that the general feature of the elements 104 to 108 is to follow the trend of the continuation of the Periodic Table [1]. Details of the experimental methods and results can be found in the recent review by Schädel [2]. These element...
متن کاملTheory of Nuclear Reactions Leading to Superheavy Elements
Dynamical reaction theory is presented for synthesis of superheavy elements. Characteristic features of formation and surviving are discussed, which combinedly determine final residue cross sections of superheavy elements. Preliminary results on Z=114 are also given.
