Abstract
Constant force images of vanadia powder were recorded in ambient condi tions with atomic force microscopy. Atomic-scale observations of the ( 001) surface powder were obtained. The images reveal differences from the ideal structure which are attributed to the presence of adsorbed m olecular water. A diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spect roscopy study confirms this hypothesis and an adsorption model is prop osed. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
