U.S.-Hungary Joint Fund Research on Photon Driven Processes at Adsorbate-Metal Interfaces and Surface Structure Characterization with Adsorbates

美国-匈牙利联合基金研究项目 “吸附金属的光子驱动过程 接口”将由博士进行弗里吉斯 赛格德大学的Solymosi和John博士 M.白色，德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校。 的 研究人员将研究光诱导的 包括烷基氧化的反应 和不饱和烃的活化。 他们的实验将在 在低温下的超高真空条件下， 其中热效应可以被最小化。 吸附的物质将被表征， 照射后，通过许多表面 敏感的技术。 研究人员还将 表征负载的贵金属， 在许多催化过程中起重要作用。 这项化学研究满足了美国- 匈牙利联合基金的目标是促进 通过使美国的领先专家 国家和匈牙利联合收割机互补 人才和集中研究资源的领域 强烈的共同兴趣和能力。

This US-Hungary Joint Fund research project on "Photon Driven Processes at Adsorbate Metal Interfaces" will be conducted by Dr. Frigyes Solymosi at the University of Szeged and Dr. John M. White, University of Texas at Austin. The researchers will investigate photo-induced reactions including oxidation of alkyl radicals and activation of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Their experiments will be carried out under ultra-high vacuum conditions at low temperature, where the thermal effects can be minimized. Adsorbed species will be characterized, before and after irradiation, by a number of surface sensitive techniques. The researchers will also characterize supported noble metals which play important roles in many catalytic processes. This research in chemistry fulfills the US- Hungary Joint Fund's objective of advancing science by enabling leading experts in the United States and Hungary to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
