Sticking Coefficients
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Collisions between gas-phase molecules and surfaces which result in the gas-
|
||||
phase molecule sticking to the surface can be described as a reaction which is
|
||||
parameterized by a sticking coefficient:
|
||||
|
||||
.. math::
|
||||
|
||||
\gamma = a T^b e^{-c/RT}
|
||||
|
||||
where :math:`a`, :math:`b`, and :math:`c` are constants specific to the
|
||||
reaction. The values of these constants must be specified so that the sticking
|
||||
coefficient :math:`\gamma` is between 0 and 1 for all temperatures.
|
||||
|
||||
The sticking coefficient is related to the forward rate constant by the
|
||||
formula:
|
||||
|
||||
.. math::
|
||||
|
||||
k_f = \frac{\gamma}{\Gamma_\mathrm{tot}^m} \sqrt{\frac{RT}{2 \pi W}}
|
||||
|
||||
where :math:`\Gamma_\mathrm{tot}` is the total molar site density, :math:`m` is
|
||||
the sum of all the surface reactant stoichiometric coefficients, and :math:`W`
|
||||
is the molecular weight of the gas phase species.
|
||||
|
||||
A reaction of this form can be written as::
|
||||
|
||||
surface_reaction("H2O + PT(S) => H2O(S)", stick(a, b, c))
