Recombination of atoms at surfaces. Part 12.—Nitrogen atoms at some metal and alloy surfaces
M. L. Rahman and J. W. Linnett
The recombination coefficients for the recombination of nitrogen atoms on the surface of a number of metals and alloys have been measured using Smith's side-arm method. The constancy of activity for palladium, silver and a 50/50 alloys shows that d-band vacancies are unimportant. The results for Fe, Ni, Cu and Ni/Cu alloys suggest that with these materials a surface nitrate is formed and its properties are important in controlling the activity.
