RESUMO

In surface science and model catalysis, cerium oxide (ceria) is mostly grown as an ultra-thin film on a metal substrate in the ultra-high vacuum to understand fundamental mechanisms involved in diverse surface chemistry processes. However, such ultra-thin films do not have the contribution of a bulk ceria underneath, which is currently discussed to have a high impact on in particular surface redox processes. Here, we present a fully oxidized ceria thick film (180 nm) with a perfectly stoichiometric CeO2(111) surface exhibiting exceptionally large, atomically flat terraces. The film is well-suited for ceria model studies as well as a perfect substitute for CeO2 bulk material.

RESUMO

Soft X-ray induced chemistry of H(2)O, CO and CH(3)OH and the effects of the water and nitric acid hydrate (HNO(3).1.65H(2)O) matrix on the photochemistry of CO and CH(3)OH have been investigated using NEXAFS spectroscopy. For pure H(2)O, CO and CH(3)OH ices, we show that the destruction rates are strongly limited by back reactions, leading to strikingly high survival rates of these molecules upon the harsh irradiation conditions to which they are submitted. We also evidence the interplay between the photochemical reactions of CO and CH(3)OH and those of the matrix. The OH and O radicals released by the photolysis of H(2)O and HNO(3) react with the CO and CH(3)OH and their fragments, considerably reducing the survival rates compared to pure CO and pure CH(3)OH ices, especially in presence of nitric acid, and dramatically enhancing the formation of CO(2) at the expense of CO. Because NEXAFS spectroscopy allows identifying which reactions are important among those possible, it emerges a simple picture of the photochemical routes of CO and CH(3)OH in the H(2)O and HNO(3)/H(2)O environments.

RESUMO

The successive hydrogenation of CO has been investigated by two methods. The first is hydrogenation of a CO surface. The second is co-injection of CO molecules and H atoms. Both methods have been performed at 3 and 10 K. In the first method, the interaction of H atoms with solid CO at 10 K shows that CO is consumed to form H(2)CO and CH(3)OH. No trace of species such as HCO and CH(3)O is detected. No product was observed when the same experiment was performed at 3 K. In the second method, when H and CO are codeposited at 10 K, HCO and CH(3)O are observed. In fact, the yield of these intermediate species depends on the amount of the H radicals interacting with CO molecules. At 3 K, the presence of H(2) in the solid screens the hydrogenation reaction. This causes a termination for the reaction in the stage of the formation of HCO and H(2)CO. At 10 K, H(2) cannot condense, and the reaction between CO and H is total. In this case, species such as HCO, H(2)CO, CH(3)O, and CH(3)OH are observed.

RESUMO

UV-irradiated methanol (CH3OH) in water ice at 3 K has been investigated with infrared spectroscopy and compared with pure methanol. The main byproducts detected are formaldehyde (H2CO), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and ethylene glycol (C2H4(OH)2). The production of H2CO, CO2, and CO is enhanced in water ice, resulting from cross reactions between the byproducts of methanol with those of water (OH and H2O2).

RESUMO

A vapor-deposited NH(3) ice film irradiated at 20 K with 150 eV photons has been studied with near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy at the nitrogen K-edge. Irradiation leads to the formation of high amounts (12%) of molecular nitrogen N(2), whose concentration as a function of the absorbed energy has been quantified to 0.13 molecule/eV. The stability of N(2) in solid NH(3) has been also studied, showing that N(2) continuously desorbs between 20 and 95 K from the irradiated ammonia ice film. Weak concentrations (<1%) of other photoproducts are also detected. Our NEXAFS simulations show that these features own to NH(2), N(2)H(2), and N(3)(-).

RESUMO

The changes in the structure and composition of vapor-deposited ice films irradiated at 20 K with soft x-ray photons (3-900 eV) and their subsequent evolution with temperatures between 20 and 150 K have been investigated by near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (NEXAFS) at the oxygen K edge. We observe the hydroxyl OH, the atomic oxygen O, and the hydroperoxyl HO(2) radicals, as well as the oxygen O(2) and hydrogen peroxide H(2)O(2) molecules in irradiated porous amorphous solid water (p-ASW) and crystalline (I(cryst)) ice films. The evolution of their concentrations with the temperature indicates that HO(2), O(2), and H(2)O(2) result from a simple step reaction fuelled by OH, where O(2) is a product of HO(2) and HO(2) a product of H(2)O(2). The local order of ice is also modified, whatever the initial structure is. The crystalline ice I(cryst) becomes amorphous. The high-density amorphous phase (I(a)h) of ice is observed after irradiation of the p-ASW film, whose initial structure is the normal low-density form of the amorphous ice (I(a)l). The phase I(a)h is thus peculiar to irradiated ice and does not exist in the as-deposited ice films. A new "very high density" amorphous phase-we call I(a)vh-is obtained after warming at 50 K the irradiated p-ASW ice. This phase is stable up to 90 K and partially transforms into crystalline ice at 150 K.

RESUMO

The adsorption state of HCl at 20 and 90 K on crystalline water ice films deposited under ultrahigh vacuum at 150 K has been studied by X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the O1s K-edge and Cl2p L-edge. We show that HCl dissociates at temperatures as low as 20 K, in agreement with the prediction of a spontaneous ionization of HCl on ice. Comparison between the rate of saturation of the "dangling" hydrogen bonds and the chlorine uptake indicates that hydrogen bonding of HCl with the surface native water "dangling" groups only accounts for a small part of the ionization events (20% at 90 K). A further mechanism drives the rest of the dissociation/solvation process. We suggest that the weakening of the ice surface hydrogen-bond network after the initial HCl adsorption phase facilitates the generation of new dissociation/solvation sites, which increases the uptake capacity of ice. These results also emphasize the necessity to take into account not only a single dissociation event but its catalyzing effect on the subsequent events when modeling the uptake of hydrogen-bonding molecules on the ice surface.

RESUMO

The implementation of a prenatal screening ultrasound program to the general population requires a few rules. The sonographers must be adequately trained and the required imaging planes of the fetal head must be easy to acquire and be readily reproducible irrespective of the technology used. Screening for the presence of a potential local or global anomaly can be mainly established from a reference image. The diagnosis of an anomaly is confirmed from a different medical approach and is usually done during the second trimester (21 weeks GA).
