ABSTRACT:

The investigators have conducted a coordinated experimental and theoretical study of a novel bimetallic system prepared by molecular beam techniques. They have prepared fcc Fe expitaxially grown on Cu and investigated its properties using a diverse number of analytical techniques. The temperature stability of these novel materials was investigated as well as the properties of the surface towards chemisorption of CO and Fischer-Tropsch reactions. After carefully characterizing the Fe/Cu systems they investigated the effect of small amounts of sulfur on the chemisorption properties, specifically on the activity of the contaminated surface towards Fischer-Tropsch reactions.  The results of such a study are reported. Finally, a detailed list of the scientific publications in peer reviewed journals that resulted from this support by the US Department of Energy is presented. (ERA citation 13:032067)
