Surface Properties of Layered Structures

Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMALS,volume 16))

Abstract

Volumetric measurements of adsorption isotherms over a certain range of temperatures, as well as a few structural studies, have been carried out for the monolayers of Ar, Kr, Xe and CH4 adsorbed upon the basal face of numerous layered dihalides. 2D phase transitions are observed, which, in addition to being of intrinsic interest, are particularly helpful in the molecular interpretation of the thermodynamic results. The structure and the thermodynamic properties of the monolayers turn out to depend in a radical way upon the value of the so-called size incompatibility, i.e. the relative difference between the period of the surface corrugation and the diameter of the adspecies. This shows itself in the remarkable correlation between this parameter and a number of thermodynamic quantities, mostly critical temperature of 2D condensation and entropy. We claim that, within the range in which the size incompatibility can be varied, from about - 20 to + 20 percent, almost all the structures a physisorbed monolayer of atoms can assume are encountered, including the two simplest: corrugation-independent and lattice gas type monolayer. These two cases are discussed in some detail, and suggestions are made for further theoretical studies which should lead to a better understanding of monolayer adsorption.
