Building and Testing a Prototype For CAMEA

CAMEA (Countinuous Angle Multiple Energy Analyser) is a new concept for analysing inelastically scattered neutrons with high efficiency. It contains many (up to 10) vertically focusing analyser arrays behind each other, analysing the scattered neutrons wit ...

CAMEA: Comparison to the Colder Chopper Spectrometer

The Cold chopper and CAMEA spectrometers are in many ways equivalent. One uses several incoming energies combined with a continuous outgoing energy band while the other use a continuous incoming band and several outgoing energies, and both have big angular ...

Electron energy loss spectroscopy investigation through a nano ablated uranium dioxide sample

A lamella of uranium dioxide (similar to 10 x similar to 10 x similar to 0.02-0.20 mu m) was produced by focused ion beam for transmission electron and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) examinations. This sample allows quantitative analysis of the E ...

Origin of the large anharmonicity in the phonon modes of LiBH4

The dynamics and bonding of the complex hydride LiBH4 have been investigated by vibrational spectroscopy and density functional theory (DFT). The combination of infrared, Raman, and inelastic neutron-scattering (INS) spectroscopies on hydrided and deuterat ...

Quantum state-resolved CH4 dissociation on Pt(111): coverage dependent barrier heights from experiment and density functional theory

Rainer Beck, Li Chen, Hirokazu Ueta

The dissociative chemisorption of CH4 on Pt(111) was studied using quantum state-resolved methods at a surface temperature (Ts) of 150 K where the nascent reaction products CH3(ads) and H(ads) are stable and accumulate on the surface. Most previous experim ...

Vibrationally Bond-Selective Chemisorption of Methane Isotopologues on Pt(111) Studied by Reflection Absorption Infrared Spectroscopy

Li Chen

In this thesis, I describe the design and first applications of a new molecular-beam/surface-science ultra-high vacuum apparatus. The new machine combines rovibrational state-selective infrared pumping of gas-phase reactants with reflection absorption infr ...

Alignment dependent chemisorption of vibrationally excited CH4(3) on Ni(100), Ni(110), and Ni(111)

Rainer Beck, Régis Bisson, Phil Morten Hundt, Bruce Yoder

We present a stereodynamics study of the dissociative chemisorption of vibrationally excited methane on the (100), (110), and (111) planes of a nickel single crystal surface. Using linearly polarized infrared excitation of the antisymmetric C–H stretch nor ...
