Adsorption of iso-/n-butane on an anatase thin film: a molecular beam scattering and TDS study

Abstract: Binding energies and adsorption probabilities have been determined for n/iso-butane adsorption on an anatase thin film grown on SrTiO 3 (001) by means of thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) and molecular beam scattering. The sample has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Auger electrons spectroscopy (AES).

“…A decrease in S 0 with increasing E i (Figure ) is commonly observed for molecular adsorption, , which is consistent with the conclusions drawn from the TPD data (section 5.2.2). Dissociative adsorption should lead to an increase in S 0 above a given threshold energy (see, e.g., ref ).…”

“…It appears plausible that this thick Cu film is smoother (less corrugated) than dispersed clusters. Considering a simple hard sphere model, a less corrugated surface would lead to less efficient energy-transfer processes and smaller S 0 than a highly corrugated surface (see, e.g., ref ). Therefore, S 0 would decrease when dispersed clusters (χ Cu ∼ 50 s) are compared with a smoother film (χ Cu ∼ 90 min, 2.5 ML).…”

“…As discussed before, repulsive interactions with alkanes may be unexpected at a quick glance because alkanes are (in the gas phase) nonpolar. However, both repulsive and attractive interactions have been seen before. An explanation is given, e.g., in ref : adsorbed alkanes can become polarized due to interactions with the substrate, resulting in induced repulsive (dipole–dipole) interactions.…”
