| The contents of this dissertation encompass an elucidation of the surface chemistry of three gas/surface systems. The first investigation focuses on a fundamental characterization, via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), of the reactive carbidic and the unreactive graphitic forms of carbon on Ni;In the second investigation, the surface chemistry of C;The third investigation centers on a SIMS and XPS study of the surface chemistry of methanol on the Pd... |
