Combustion Energy: A Measure of Stability in Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

Combustion Energy: A Measure of Stability in Alkanes and Cycloalkanes

The low reactivity in alkanes can be attributed to the non-polar nature of C–C and C–H σ bonds. Alkanes, therefore, were initially termed as “paraffins,” derived from the Latin words: parum, meaning “too little,” and affinis, meaning “affinity.”
Alkanes undergo combustion in the presence of excess oxygen and high-temperature conditions to give carbon dioxide and water. A combustion reaction is the energy source in natural gas, liquified petroleum gas (LPG), fuel oil, gasoline, diesel fuel, and...

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

Clausius-Clapeyron Equation

The equilibrium between a liquid and its vapor depends on the temperature of the system; a rise in temperature causes a corresponding rise in the vapor pressure of its liquid. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation gives the quantitative relation between a substance’s vapor pressure (P) and its temperature (T); it predicts the rate at which vapor pressure increases per unit increase in temperature.

Network Covalent Solids

Network Covalent Solids

Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Background:

Understanding thin film growth is critical for developing advanced materials.
The surface structure of CoAl(001) films influences their properties and performance.
Previous studies have not fully elucidated the kinetic factors governing CoAl(001) surface morphology.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the growth processes of Cobalt-Aluminum (CoAl) thin films on the (001) surface.
To determine the influence of stoichiometry and temperature on surface composition and ordering.
To elucidate the role of kinetic effects in shaping the surface structure of CoAl(001) films.

Main Methods:

Utilized kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations.
Combined KMC simulations with first-principles calculations.
Analyzed surface segregation and short-range order under varying conditions.

Main Results:

Stoichiometric CoAl(001) films exhibit a surface primarily composed of Aluminum (Al).
Cobalt (Co)-enriched films show segregation of Co anti-sites with a c(2 × 2) short-range order.
A temperature-dependent peak in surface Co anti-site concentration was observed, influenced by entropy and frozen effects at high and low temperatures, respectively.

Conclusions:

The surface structure of CoAl(001) films is sensitive to stoichiometry and temperature.
Kinetic effects, including entropy and frozen effects, play a significant role in determining surface morphology.
Simulation results align with experimental observations, validating the importance of kinetic modeling in surface science.
