Use of solid insertion probe mass spectrometry and constant rate thermal analysis in the study of materials: determination of apparent activation energies and mechanisms of solid-state decomposition reactions
Article Abstract:
A study describes a solid insertion probe-mass spectrometry (SIP-MS) system using low-mass samples that are heated under high vacuum to provide almost ideal experimental conditions for the measurement of apparent activation energies and the study of mechanisms of solid-state decompositions that produce a gas or gases. This SIP-MS system was used with both linear heating and constant rate thermal analysis methods to investigate the decomposition of sodium hydrogen carbonate and calcium carbonate. Results are discussed.

Theoretical characterization of the (H2O)21 cluster: Application of an n-body decomposition procedure
Article Abstract:
Two low-energy minima of (H2O)21 with very different H-bonding arrangements are investigated with the B3LYP density functional and RIMP2 methods, and with TIP4P, Dang-Chang, AMOEBA, and TTM2-F force fields. Insights into the role of many-body polarization for establishing the relative stability of the two isomers is provided by an n-body decomposition of the energies calculated using the various theoretical methods.

Decomposition of saturated hydrocarbons adsorbed on Ni(755): comparison of decomposition starting temperatures among cyclic and straight-chain hydrocarbons
Article Abstract:
The surface chemistry of saturated hydrocarbons (cyclic and straight-chains ones between C5 and C8) absorbed on a stepped Ni(755) {Ni(S)[6(111) x (100)]} is studied mainly with temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). A relationship between decomposition starting temperature of the hydrocarbons and their structures and desorption energy is obtained and decomposition mechanism of hydrocarbons is discussed.
