Abstract:
Crystallographic pressure-lapse snapshots of a porous material responding to gas loading were used to investigate the stepwise uptake of carbon dioxide and acetylene molecules into discrete confined spaces. Based on the data, a qualitative statistical mechanical model was devised that reproduces even subtle features in the experimental gas sorption isotherms.
