这项研究计划将使用微波的新应用 霍尔效应探测微小金属的物理和化学性质 非金属载体上的颗粒。 这门催化剂课很有趣 用于各种化学合成。 的结果 预计调查将产生一种独特方法来衡量 电子性能的负载金属催化剂，并使其他 对催化科学的贡献，包括：一个;原位;反 允许在一定操作范围内进行数据测定的方法 条件;当两种或多种金属混合时合金效应的数据 在非金属载体上以小团簇形式存在; 表征散装催化剂;和新的证据，以帮助了解 强金属载体相互作用的详细机制。

This research program will use a new application of the microwave Hall-effect to probe the physics and chemistry of very small metal particles on non-metallic supports. This catalyst class is of interest for a wide variety of chemical synthesis. The results of this investigation are expected to produce a unique method to measure electronic properties of supported metal catalysts, and to make other contributions to the science of catalysis including: an ;itin situ;ro method that allows data determination under a range of operating conditions; data on the alloy effects when two or more metals are present as small clusters on non-metallic supports; a new method to characterize bulk catalysts; and new evidence to help understand the detailed mechanisms of strong metal support interaction.
