Predicting the Effect of Local Conditions on Metal-oxides: Pt/γ-Al₂O₃ Interface and Degradation of α-Cr₂O₃ Passive Film

Creator:

Oware Sarfo, Kofi

Abstract:

Metal-oxides are very important in industrial applications such as thermal barrier coatings, corrosion protection, and heterogeneous catalysis. The wide variety of applications for metal-oxides are derived from the array of properties of metal-oxides. It is, therefore, important to understand and predict the conditions of synthesis and operation to optimize the...

Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

Creator:

Sprowl, Lynza H.

Abstract:

The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...
