| Abstract | The adsorption of atoms and molecules on single crystal surfaces allows one to produce well-characterized atomic, molecular, or dissociated adsorbates. Microcalorimetric measurement of the resulting adsorption energies, i.e., single crystal adsorption calorimetry, allows determination of the standard enthalpies of formation of these adsorbates. Methods are described for making an improved heat detector for such measurements, which greatly improves the signal-to-noise ratio, particularly at low temperatures (down to 100 K). The heat detector is an adaptation of a previously introduced design, based on a metallized pyroelectric polymer (beta-polyvinylidene fluoride), which is pressed against the back of a single crystal during measurement but removed during sample preparation and annealing. The improvement is achieved by selectively etching the metal coating of the polymer, thus reducing the pyro- and piezoelectric noise from all nonessential regions of the polymer. We, furthermore, describe how to achieve a better thermal contact between the sample and the pyroelectric polymer, without increasing the thermal mass of the detector, resulting in significantly improved sensitivities for both 1 and 127 microm thick samples. The result is a detector which, using 1 microm samples, is approximately 40 times more sensitive at 100 K than the traditional polymer-based detector, showing a pulse-to-pulse standard deviation in the heat of adsorption of just 1.3 kJ/mol with gas pulses containing only 1.1% of a monolayer onto Pt(111), for which 1 ML (monolayer) is 1.5x10(15) species/cm(2). For measurements at 300 K, where especially pyroelectric noise is likely of less concern, the new design improves the sensitivity 3.6-fold compared to the traditional detector. These improvements are furthermore used to propose a new detector design that is able to measure heats of adsorption on samples as thick as 127 microm with reasonable sensitivity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
