Molecule Interaction

The adsorption of water and other polar substances on to the surface of graphitized carbon black and macroporous silica modified by polymethylhydride silicone has been studied using gas chromatography. The adsorption heat values of the substances studied were determined and the concentration of surface hydrophilic centres estimated. Conclusions have been drawn concerning the number of water molecules adsorbed on to hydrophilic centres at low surface occupation values. In the case of water adsorption on the graphitized carbon black surface, the chromatographic data for the adsorption heat have been compared with the energy of water molecule interaction with the surface clusters modelling the micropores existing on the basal surface of carbon black particles as calculated using quantum chemical methods.

In the previous paper, the author reported on a technique for preparing vapor-deposited single crystal films as high resolution standards for electron microscopy. The present paper is intended to describe the preparation of several high resolution standards for dark field microscopy and also to mention some results obtained from these studies. Three preparations were used initially: 1.) Graphitized carbon black, 2.) Epitaxially grown particles of different metals prepared by vapor deposition, and 3.) Particles grown epitaxially on the edge of micro-holes formed in a gold single crystal film.The authors successfully obtained dark field micrographs demonstrating the 3.4Å lattice spacing of graphitized carbon black and the Au single crystal (111) lattice of 2.35Å. The latter spacing is especially suitable for dark field imaging because of its preparation, as in 3.), above. After the deposited film of Au (001) orientation is prepared at 400°C the substrate temperature is raised, resulting in the formation of many square micro-holes caused by partial evaporation of the Au film.
