Combining In-Situ Buffer-Layer-Assisted-Growth with Scanning Probe Microscopy for Formation and Study of Supported Model Catalysts
EMSL Project ID
30194
Abstract
The objective of this project is to implement in-situ advanced buffer-layer-assisted-growth (BLAG) technique through combination with the EMSLs UHV SPM, and to apply resulting novel tool for formation and structural study of the BaO nanoclusters on Al2O3 ultra-thin crystalline film, an important model catalyst system. As a result of this project, a critical insight will be provided on the fundamental surface science aspects related to the fundamental principles that govern the formation of base metal oxide nanostructures on oxide substrates. This work will further enhance the important instrumental capability on the base of the UHV SPM system.
