Question

The Hertz–Knudsen equation describes these regions using a “sticking” coefficient. Alexander Balandin proposed the “multiplet hypothesis” to explain one mechanism in these regions. Spot profile analysis is used to improve low-energy electron diffraction when studying non-ideal examples of these regions. Walther Kossel and Ivan Stranski introduced the terrace ledge kink model of these regions, which are studied by (*) Auger (10[1])electron spectroscopy. These regions can be imaged in “tapping” (-5[1])and “non-contact” modes by a cantilever (10[1])tip in atomic force microscopy. One process that occurs at these regions is described by the equation k times p over 1 plus k times p equals fractional occupancy in a model extended (10[1])by BET theory that was developed by Irving Langmuir. (10[1])For 10 points, adsorption occurs at what regions between a solid and its surroundings? ■END■ (10[1])
