Cadmium-doped indium sesquioxide systems with a variety of CdO mol % were prepared to investigate the effect of doping on the electrical properties of indium sesquioxide. The electrical conductivities of pure $In_2O_3$ and Cd-doped $In_2O_3$ systems were measured in the temperature range from 25 to $1200^{\circ}C$ and $P_O_2$ range from $10^{-7}$ to $10^{-1}$ atm, and the thermoelectric power was measured in the same temperature range. The electrical conductivity and thermopower decreased with increasing CdO mol % indicating that all the samples are n-type semiconductors. The electrical conductivities of pure $In_2O_3$ and lightly doped $In_2O_3$ were considerably affected by the chemisorption $O_2$ at temperatures of 400 to $560^{\circ}C$ and then gaseous oxygen was reversibly chemisorbed at the temperature. The predominant defects in $In_2O_3$ are believed to be triply-charged interstitial indiums at temperatures above $560^{\circ}C$ and oxygen vacancies below $560^{\circ}C$. In Cd-doped $In_2O_3$ systems, cadmium acts as an electron acceptor and inhibits the transfer of lattice indium to interstitial sites, which give rise to the decrease of the electrical conductivity.

800 K와 1000 K에서 ordered $Ni_3Al(111)$ 합금표면과 산소기체와의 상호작용을 LEED, STM, HRBBLS, UPS, 그리고 PAX를 이용 고찰하였다. 산소가 없는 깨끗한 $Ni_3Al(111)$ 표면에 대한 LEED 측정결과 어떤 "$2{\times}2$" 패턴이 관측되었는데, 이는 규칙적인 벌크와 같은 terminated 표면구조를 가짐을 의미한다. 그러나 800 K로 유지된 같은 표면에 산소를 흡착시킨 후 LEED를 관찰하면 ($1{\times}1$) substrate spots 외에 산소에 의해 유발된 lattice spacing이 $2.93\;{\AA}$인 어떤 회전되지 않은 superstructure가 얻어졌다. 이를 자세히 규명하기 위해 HREELS와 UPS를 측정한 결과 threefold aluminum 자리에 산소들이 화학흡착됨을 알 수 있었고, 아울러 PAX 측정결과 흡착된 overlayer들이 어떤 oxide island 형태로 성장됨을 보여주었다. 그러나 실질적으로 $Ni_3Al(111)$ 표면에서는 그러한 자리들이 유효하지 않기 때문에 우리들은 oxide island 생성은 $Ni_3Al(111)$ 표면에 있는 aluminum overlayer들을 덮음으로써 성장되고 있다고 결론을 내렸다. 한편, 1000 K로 유지된 $Ni_3Al(111)$ 표면에 산소를 노출하면 ${\gamma}'-Al_2O_3$ 구조가 성장됨을 HREELS와 STM 측정결과로부터 알 수 있었다. 그리고 HREELS 측정결과, 800 K에서 산화는 매우 특이한 양상을 띄며 일어나고 있으나 정확하게 $Al_2O_3$ overlayer가 형성되는 경우와는 일치하지 않음을 알 수 있었고, 1000 K에서 산소노출 후 얻은 STM 영상 역시 oxide island 들이 형성에 기인된 어떤 "Strawberry" 구조를 보여주었으나 정확하게 $Al_2O_3$ overlayer가 형성되었는지는 규명할 수 없었다. 결론적으로, 800 K와 1000 K에서 $Ni_3Al(111)$ 합금표면위의 산소 상호작용결과 어떤 aluminum oxide overlayer의 island들이 성장됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 상용 알루미나 지지체의 수소 상온산화 반응특성을 확인하기 위하여 활성금속 Pt를 기본으로 한 촉매에 습식함침법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매들은 XPS, CO-chemisorption, BET를 이용하여 특성분석을 수행하였다. 다양한 $Pt/Al_2O_3$계 촉매는 열처리 조건에 따라서 촉매를 제조할 경우 전자 전하의 이동으로 발생하는 전기음성도 특성이 Pt의 산소종을 제어하였다. Pt의 담지량이 증가함에 따라 분산도가 감소하는 이유는 Pt의 HT (Huttig Temperature)에 기인한 것으로 보인다. 또한 상온에서 제어할 수 있는 최소 수소농도는 metallic Pt가 촉매 내 70.09% 이상에서 1.0 vol%까지 수소를 제어할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는, $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매의 물리화학적 특성이 CO 상온산화 반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 각기 다른 물리적 특성을 가지는 다양한 $TiO_2$ 지지체를 이용하여 $Pt/TiO_2$ 촉매를 제조한 후 평가하였다. 촉매의 물리화학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 XPS, CO-chemisorption, BET, CO-TPD 분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과, active particle diameter가 작을수록, metal dispersion, surface area가 클수록 우수한 CO 상온산화 반응을 나타내었다. 이러한 물리적 특성은 active site의 수를 증진시켜 대상물질은 CO의 흡착량의 증가를 야기시켰다. 또한, $O_2$-consumption이 클수록 우수한 산소 전달 능력을 통해 보다 높은 CO 상온산화 반응활성을 나타내었다.

Using an atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital (ASED-MO) method, we have investigated the vibrational and chemisorptive properties of adsorbates on a Pt(100) surface during CO oxidation. The calculated vibrational stretching frequency for a predicted structure of $[CO{\cdot}{\cdot}{\cdot}O]^*$ complex is 1642 $cm^{-1}$. The CO bond stretches by 0.05 ${\AA}$ when adsorbed on one-fold site, and is tilted by 30 ${\AA}$ from the surface normal. We find the decrease in CO vibrational frequency on going from the one-fold to the high coordination sites. Binding at the two-fold site is predicted to be favored for $Pt_{18}(100)$ and at the 1-fold site for $Pt_{23}(100)$. From the calculations of the steric interactions, we have found that pre-adsorbed oxygen modifies the surface so that CO is adsorbed on the one-fold site ordered in a $(\sqrt{2}{\times}{\sqrt}{2})R45^{\circ}$. Our results are in good agreement with recent experimental findings of Hong et al. [J.Phys. Chem. 1993, 97, 1258].

The catalyst Ni/MgO (Ni : 15 wt%) has been applied to methane reforming reactions, such as steam reforming of methane (SRM), partial oxidation of methane (POM), and oxy-steam reforming of methane (OSRM). It showed high activity and good stability in all the reforming reactions. Especially, it exhibited stable catalytic performance even in stoichiometric SRM (H2O/CH4 = 1). From TPR and H2 pulse chemisorption results, a strong interaction between NiO and MgO results in a high dispersion of Ni crystallite. Pulse reaction results revealed that both CH4 and O2 are activated on the surface of metallic Ni over the catalyst, and then surface carbon species react with adsorbed oxygen to produce CO.

Manganese-incorporated neodymium oxide systems with a variety of Mn mol% were prepared to investigate the effect of doping on the electrical properties of neodymium oxide. XRD, XPS, SEM, DSC, and TG techniques were used to analyze the specimens. The systems containing 2, 5, 8, and 10 mol% Mn were found to be solid solutions by X-ray diffraction analysis and the lattice parameters were obtained for the single-phase hexagonal structure by the Nelson-Riley method. The lattice parameters, a and c, decreased with increasing Mn mol%. Scanning electron photomicrographs of the specimens showed that the grain size decreased with increasing Mn mol%. The curves of log conductivity plotted as a function of 1/T in the temperature range from 500 to 1000$^{\circ}C$ at $PO_2$'s of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-1}$ atm for the specimens were divided into high-and low-temperature regions with inflection points near 820-890$^{\circ}C$. The activation energies obtained from the slopes were 0.53-0.87 eV for low-temperature region and 1.40-1.91 eV for high-temperature region. The electrical conductivities increased with increasing Mn mol% and $PO_2$, indicating that all the specimens were p-type semiconductors. At $PO_2$'s below $10^{-3}$ atm, the electrical conductivity was affected by the chemisorption of oxygen molecule in the temperature range of 660 to 850$^{\circ}C$. It is suggested that electron holes generated by oxygen incorporation into the oxide are charge carriers for the electrical conduction in the high-temperature region and the system includes ionic conduction owing to the diffusion of oxygen atoms in the low-temperature region.

Chemisorption of oxygen molecules on the Si(111)-(7x7) surface has been studied extensively as a model for the initial-stage oxidation of the surface. The basic step to the surface oxidation is the dissociation of the adsorbed O2 molecules, but the dissociation procedure and the atomic structure of the reaction products still remains as a subject of debates. We present here density-functional theory calculations on the initial-stage oxidation states of the Si adatom site for all possible dissociation configurations that can be generated by multiple O2 reactions. We determine the equilibrium structures and analyze their electronic and vibrational properties in comparison with measured UPS, XPS, and EELS spectra. The O(ad) atom bonded on top of the Si adatom is always less stable than the O(ins) atom inserted into one of the adatom backbonds. Our electronic and vibrational analysis demonstrates further that the O(ad) and O(ins) atoms account well for the metastable and stable features in previous experiments, respectively. Moreover, the calculated decay pathways of the metastable structures and the comparison of the calculated O ls core-level shifts with XPS data provides a convincing argument in unambiguously identifying the experimental metastable and stable structures, thereby making it possible to build a correct atomic-scale picture of the initial-stage oxidation process on this surface.

Syntheses of oxide supported metal catalysts by wet-chemical routes have been well known for their use in heterogeneous catalysis. However, uniform deposition of metal nanoparticles with controlled size and shape on the support with high reproducibility is still a challenge for catalyst preparation. Among various synthesis methods, arc plasma deposition (APD) of metal nanoparticles or thin films on oxide supports has received great interest recently, due to its high reproducibility and large-scale production, and used for their application in catalysis. In this work, Au and Pt nanoparticles with size of 1-2 nm have been deposited on titania powder by APD. The size of metal nanoparticles was controlled by number of shots of metal deposition and APD conditions. These catalytic materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP-AES), CO-chemisorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Catalytic activity of the materials was measured by CO oxidation using oxygen, as a model reaction, in a micro-flow reactor at atmospheric pressure. We found that Au/$TiO_2$ is reactive, showing 100% conversion at $110^{\circ}C$, while Pt/$TiO_2$ shows 100% conversion at $200^{\circ}C$. High activity of metal nanoparticles suggests that APD can be used for large scale synthesis of active nanocatalysts. We will discuss the effect of the structure and metal-oxide interactions of the catalysts on catalytic activity.
