New Method of Estimating the Solid-Surface Energetic Heterogeneity from TPD Spectra Based on the Statistical Rate Theory of Interfacial Transport
Recently a new theoretical method of a quantitative analysis of surface energetic heterogeneity from the experimental TPD spectra, based on the statistical rate theory of interfacial transport has been proposed by Rudzinski and co-workers. The purpose of the present publication is to show the predictive features of that new method. Also prospects of a further generalization of that method toward taking into account readsorption effects are discussed.
