U.S. -Sweden Cooperative Research: High Resolution Core Level Photoemission Investigations of Alkali Atoms adsorbed on Metal Surfaces

9312246 Heskett这个为期三年的奖项支持罗德岛大学的David R.Heskett和瑞典隆德大学的Jesper Andersen在表面科学方面的美国-瑞典合作研究。他们研究的目的是研究吸附在金属上的碱原子。他们将使用高分辨率的芯级光电子能谱。这位美国研究人员为这次合作带来了吸附原子性质方面的专业知识。该项目利用了瑞典研究人员的互补专业知识，并提供了目前在美国没有的同步辐射辐射源。碱在化学工业中被广泛用作催化剂的促进剂。它们还用于许多需要以热、化学或光电子方式发射电子的设备和工艺中。本研究可为碱金属在工业上的新用途和改进用途提供依据。***

9312246 Heskett This three-year award supports U.S.-Sweden cooperative research in surface science between David R. Heskett, University of Rhode Island, and Jesper Andersen, University of Lund, Sweden. The objective of their research is to investigate alkali atoms that are adsorbed on metal. They will use high resolution core level photoemission spectroscopy. The U.S. investigator brings to this collaboration expertise in the properties of the adsorbate atom. The project takes advantage of complementary expertise of the Swedish investigator and provides access to a synchrotron radiation source not available in the United States currently. Alkalis are widely used in the chemical industry as promoters for catalysts. They are also used in many devices and processes which require the emission of electrons either thermally, chemically or by photoemission. This research could provide a basis for new and improved uses of alkalis adsorbed metals in industry. ***
