Lj. Alvarez et al., MOLECULAR-DYNAMICS SIMULATION OF THE STRUCTURE OF THE CATALYTIC-SYSTEM LA2O3-GAMMA-AL2O3, Journal of molecular structure. Theochem, 106, 1993, pp. 161-166
Molecular dynamics simulations of the catalytic system constituted by
La2O3 supported on gamma-Al2O3 are reported. Our calculations show tha
t increasing the lanthanum concentration in the solid causes a lowerin
g of the vibrational frequencies associated with the Al-O stretch, in
qualitative agreement with experiment.
