Dual-Path Mechanism for Catalytic Oxidation of Hydrogen on Platinum Surfaces

The catalytic formation of water from adsorbed hydrogen and oxygen atoms on Pt(111) was studied with scanning tunneling microscopy and high resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy. The known complexity of this reaction is explained by the strongly temperature dependent lifetime of the product H2O molecules on the surface. Below the desorption temperature water reacts with unreacted O adatoms to OHad, leading to an autocatalytic process; at higher temperatures sequential addition of H adatoms to Oad with normal kinetics takes place

Vibrational and structural properties of OH adsorbed on Pt(111)

OH species adsorbed on Pt(111) were studied in a combined investigation using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS). OH was formed by two different reactions, by reaction of H2O with O, and as an intermediate in the reaction of O with hydrogen to H2O. In both cases, two ordered OH phases were observed, a (√3×√3)R30° and a (3×3) structure, for which models are proposed. Both structures have OH coverages of 2/3, and their formation is driven by hydrogen bond formation between the adparticles; the OH adsorption site is most likely on top. OH molecules at defects in the adlayer, in particular at island edges, are spectroscopically distinguishable and contribute significantly to the vibrational spectra in disordered OH layers. This is important for the water formation reaction, where the OH islands are small. The discrepancies between previous HREELS studies on OH can be explained by the different degree of order under the various formation conditions

Detection of the Natural Alpha Decay of Tungsten

The natural alpha decay of 180W has been unambiguously detected for the first time. The alpha peak is found in a (gamma,beta and neutron)-free background spectrum. This has been achieved by the simultaneous measurement of phonon and light signals with the CRESST cryogenic detectors. A half-life of T1/2 = (1.8 +- 0.2) x 10^18 y and an energy release of Q = (2516.4 +- 1.1 (stat.) +- 1.2 (sys.)) keV have been measured. New limits are also set on the half-lives of the other naturally occurring tungsten isotopes.Comment: Submitted to Physical Review C Revised versio

A matrix-matched reference material for validating petroleum Re-Os measurements

This study presents two matrix-matched reference materials developed for petroleum Re-Os measurements. We present the Re and Os mass fractions and 187Re/188Os and 187Os/188Os values (ratio of the number of atoms of the isotopes) for repeatedly measured aliquots (ca. 120–150 mg test portions) of the NIST Research Material 8505 (RM 8505) crude oil, and its asphaltene and maltene fractions, and ~ 90 g of homogeneous asphaltene powder isolated from this oil. Measurements were performed using the Carius tube-isotope dilution negative-thermal ionisation mass spectrometry methodology. The RM 8505 crude oil contains 1.98 ± 0.07 ng g−1 Re and 25.0 ± 1.1 pg g−1 Os, with Re-Os isotope amount ratios of 452 ± 6 for 187Re/188Os and 1.51 ± 0.01 for 187Os/188Os (n = 20, 95% conf.). The homogeneous asphaltene sample contains 16.52 ± 0.10 ng g−1 Re and 166.0 ± 0.9 pg g−1 total Os, and possesses isotope amount ratios of 574 ± 3 for 187Re/188Os and 1.64 ± 0.01 for 187Os/188Os (n = 24, 95% conf.). The intermediate precision of these data makes the RM 8505 whole oil and the (~ 90 g) homogenised asphaltene appropriate petroleum matrix-matched reference materials for Re-Os measurements. The asphaltene fraction of the oil is the main carrier of Re and Os of the RM 8505 whole oil, and caution is suggested in using asphaltene and maltene fractions of a single oil for Re-Os geochronology

Short-lived Nuclei in the Early Solar System: Possible AGB Sources

(Abridged) We review abundances of short-lived nuclides in the early solar system (ESS) and the methods used to determine them. We compare them to the inventory for a uniform galactic production model. Within a factor of two, observed abundances of several isotopes are compatible with this model. I-129 is an exception, with an ESS inventory much lower than expected. The isotopes Pd-107, Fe-60, Ca-41, Cl-36, Al-26, and Be-10 require late addition to the solar nebula. Be-10 is the product of particle irradiation of the solar system as probably is Cl-36. Late injection by a supernova (SN) cannot be responsible for most short-lived nuclei without excessively producing Mn-53; it can be the source of Mn-53 and maybe Fe-60. If a late SN is responsible for these two nuclei, it still cannot make Pd-107 and other isotopes. We emphasize an AGB star as a source of nuclei, including Fe-60 and explore this possibility with new stellar models. A dilution factor of about 4e-3 gives reasonable amounts of many nuclei. We discuss the role of irradiation for Al-26, Cl-36 and Ca-41. Conflict between scenarios is emphasized as well as the absence of a global interpretation for the existing data. Abundances of actinides indicate a quiescent interval of about 1e8 years for actinide group production in order to explain the data on Pu-244 and new bounds on Cm-247. This interval is not compatible with Hf-182 data, so a separate type of r-process is needed for at least the actinides, distinct from the two types previously identified. The apparent coincidence of the I-129 and trans-actinide time scales suggests that the last actinide contribution was from an r-process that produced actinides without fission recycling so that the yields at Ba and below were governed by fission.Comment: 92 pages, 14 figure files, in press at Nuclear Physics
