Abstract

TDS is a method for the study of adsorption, desorption, and reaction of adsorbed atoms or molecules on surfaces by measuring the desorption rate of desorbing gas from surfaces as a function of sample temperature. The basic concept of this method is that adsorbates with a higher desorption barrier desorb at higher temperature.
