What is TPR and How is it Performed?
Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) is a material characterization process commonly used in catalysis studies to examine the surface chemistry of metals and metal oxides under varying thermal conditions. TPR-enabled mass spectrometry equipment can acquire quantitative and qualitative data relating to
What is Surface Interface Analysis?
This is a re-post of an article published by Hiden Analytical of Warrington, England. In materials science, a surface interface refers to the boundary region between air or a vacuum and physical media. The atomic composition and topography of a
What is Catalysis?
Catalysis is the process of modifying a chemical reaction with the use of a catalyst. This process only works with chemicals that have an existing reaction, and it is used to accelerate the reaction for commercial purposes. Catalysis occurs faster
SIMS Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry – Common Applications
The Suib Group at the University of Connecticut collaborated with Hiden Analytical to determine the effectiveness of Hiden’s Compact SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy) Analysis System for various research applications, including: Surface Contamination on Silver Electrodes Catalyst Dopant Homogeneity Carbon
Vacuum Technology: How Residual Gas Analyzers Can Help You
Residual Gas Analyzers (RGAs) are quadrupole mass spectrometers that provide for routine, fast, wide dynamic range measurements of the partial pressures of the species resident in your vacuum chamber or system. Vacuum levels can be analyzed from as low as
