Abstract
M.Sc. (Chemistry)
A brief discussion of gas-solid interactions is given. The choice of reflection-absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS) and the Kelvin probe as surface analytical techniques resulted in a visit to the physical research laboratory of Prof. J, Pritchard at Queen Mary College (London) . At this laboratory the author took part in the development of a wavelength modulation spectrometer. A spectrometer in the RAIRS mode and a Kelvin probe were used to study the adsorption of CO on a Cu(110) single crystal ...
