What are the Key Techniques in Molecular Beam Studies?
Several techniques are integral to molecular beam studies in catalysis:
Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD): Measures the amount of gas desorbed from a surface as it is heated, providing information on binding energies and surface coverage. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE): Used for the controlled deposition of thin films, allowing for the study of surface reactions on well-defined surfaces. Angle-Resolved Mass Spectrometry (ARMS): Analyzes the angular distribution of desorbed species, giving insights into the dynamics of surface reactions.
