Studies in contact potentials. Part I.—The adsorption of some gases on evaporated nickel films

TL;DR: In this paper, the nature of chemisorbed species has been indirectly investigated for a long time by the investigation of bulk properties, although some spectroscopic methods, such as IR and electronic spectroscopy, and more recently low energy electron diffraction, have been used to investigate the chemistry of catalytic species or even some intermediates involved in catalytic reactions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the mechanism of unsaturated hydrocarbons on transition metal catalysts and focus on the hydrogenation of olefins, diolefin, and acetylenes over the nine metals of Group VIII, together with copper, gold, and tungsten.

TL;DR: In this paper, the texture and structure of Ni-SiO 2 catalysts, the adsorption bond and the statistical thermodynamic properties of the adaption, the catalytic activity of Ni−SiO2 catalysts and some properties of other metal SiO 2 catalyst types.

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption of xenon has been studied with low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) to ascertain the surface perfectness.
