Ky. Kung et al., Ultrahigh vacuum high-pressure reaction system for 2-infrared 1-visible sum frequency generation studies, REV SCI INS, 72(3), 2001, pp. 1806-1809
We designed an ultrahigh vacuum high-pressure (UHVHP) reaction system for i
n situ sum frequency generation studies. This system allows for pressure (1
0(-9) Torr-1 atm), and temperature (150-1100 K) dependent investigation of
adsorbates on single crystals or polycrystalline foils and of catalytic rea
ctions. By combining two optical parametric systems, we are able to simulta
neously detect CO and ethylene on Pt(111) surface. A gas chromatograph is u
sed to monitor the kinetics of ethylene hydrogenation on Pt(111). (C) 2001
