    Notes: Abstract Two types of model catalysts are compared: thin film catalysts consisting of polyhedral noble metal nanocrystals (Rh and Pt) supported by reducible and non‐reducible oxides, and their inverted pendants, submonolayers of titania and vanadia deposited under UHV conditions on the respective metal surfaces (Pd and Rh(111) and Rh (polycrystalline)). The structure and composition of the inverse catalysts were examined in situ by LEED and AES and the nanoparticles were characterized by HRTEM. The activity of thin film and inverse catalysts was studied in a series of reactions, such as the ring opening of methylcyclopentane and methylcyclobutane, the dissociation of CO and the CO methanation. Reaction conditions comprise atmospheric pressure but also molecular beam experiments. The reaction rates are related to the oxidation state of the supporting oxide, to the free metal surface area and to the number of sites at the interface between metal and support.

    Notes: Abstract Reducible transition metal oxides are well-known promoters of the hydrogenation of CO on noble metal surfaces. In this study the promotional effect of vanadia and ceria adlayers on Rh and Pd surfaces was investigated with emphasis on the effect of the oxidation state on CO adsorption and catalytic activity. “Inverse supported catalysts” were prepared by UHV deposition of V and Ce on the noble metal surface (Rh(111), Pd(111) or Rh foil). After oxidation and specified reduction, the reaction kinetics on polycrystalline Rh was measured at atmospheric pressure, and the molecular and dissociative chemisorption of CO on Rh(111) and Pd(111) and the methanation kinetics on Rh(111) were investigated by molecular beam techniques. On Rh(111), the probability of CO dissociation and the reaction rate are enhanced by submonolayer VO x deposits. Local pressures between 10-2 and 1 mbar are sufficient to drive the methanation at 573 K with measurable amounts of products, accompanied by significant restructuring of the catalyst surface. Although the reaction on Rh is generally promoted by small quantities of vanadia and ceria, the reaction rates depend strongly on the extent and temperature of hydrogen reduction. The observed increase of the reaction rate by reduction up to 673 K can be correlated to concomitant changes of the structure and composition of the VO x deposits. If the reduction temperature is raised above 673 K, metallic V is partially dissolved in the bulk, and the resulting V/Rh subsurface alloy exhibits a particularly high activity. Contrary to vanadia, ceria islands on Rh promote the initial reaction only after a low-temperature reduction, but the activity decreases after reduction above 573 K.

    Notes: A microfabricated silicon-based biocapsule for the immunoisolation of cell transplants is presented. The biocapsule-forming process employs bulk micromachining to define cell-containing chambers within single crystalline silicon wafers. These chambers interface with the surrounding biological environment through polycrystalline silicon filter membranes. The membranes are surface micromachined to present a high density of uniform pores, thus affording sufficient permeability to oxygen, glucose, and insulin. The pore dimensions, as small as 20 nm, are designed to impede the passage of immune molecules and graft-borne viruses. The underlying filter-membrane nanotechnology has been successfully applied in controlled cell culture systems (Ferrari et al., 1995), and is under study for viral elimination in plasma fractionation protocols. Here we report the encouraging results of in vitro experiments investigating the biocompatibility of the microfabricated biocapsule, and demonstrate that encapsulated rat neonatal pancreatic islets significantly outlive and outperform controls in terms of insulin-secretion capability over periods of several weeks. These results appear to warrant further investigations on the potential of cell xenografts encapsulated within microfabricated, immunoisolating environments for the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A general expression for the energy and angular distribution of Auger/photoelectrons emitted from a specimen with an arbitrary depth profile is presented. The central quantities in this expression are the so-called partial escape distributions, which describe the probability that a signal electron generated in a certain depth interval escapes from the surface with a direction in a certain angular interval after experiencing a certain number of inelastic scattering processes. The partial escape distributions accounting for elastic scattering are calculated in the transport approximation. Comparison of analytical calculations with Monte Carlo data based on the more relastic Mott crosssection for elastic scattering yields excellent agreement. As an illustration of the general approach, the energy/angular spectrum of a sample with a model depth profile has been evaluated using analytical calculations and Monte Carlo data. The results obtained show that the proposed formalism properly accounts for elastic and inelastic processes and correctly predicts the shape of the energy distribution in the vicinity of the peak. It is, moreover, shown that the true intrinsic spectrum and depth profile may be reconstructed simultaneously from the measured energy/angular distribution of emitted electrons.

    Notes: Reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS) spectra for Al, Ni, Pt and Au were measured in the energy range 300-1500 eV for different scattering geometries. The energy dependence of the loss spectra was found to depend strongly on the shape and the magnitude of the elastic scattering cross-section. This effect is extremely pronounced in the angle-resolved spectra, but also persists in the angle-integrated case. It was moreover observed that the relative intensities of the surface excitations in REELS spectra exhibit a similar dependence on the elastic scattering properties. These experimental observations are in good agreement with MC calculations accounting for elastic scattering through the differential Mott cross-section and demonstrate that quantitative information regarding the inelastic scattering probability can only be extracted from REELS spectra if the exact shape of the elastic scattering cross-section is accounted for and a quantitative description of surface excitations is available.

    Notes: Human fibroblasts cultured for 10 days in a collagen sponge migrated through the pores of the sponge and expressed a moderate mitotic activity, which stabilized after 10 days, and a high collagen and protein synthesis. Between 10 and 27 days, the newly synthesized collagen filled the pores of the sponge. This matrix accumulation induced a delayed decrease of collagen and protein synthesis. Finally, after 27 days of culture, the fibroblasts expressed low bio-synthetic activities similar to the ones exhibited in vivo. The newly synthesized matrix was highly differentiated, as shown by the presence of a dense network of quarter-staggered collagen fibrils (42 nm ± 6 nm in diameter) surrounding the cells. The size and the shape of these fibrils demonstrated that the newly synthesized procollagen was fully processed in collagen by removal of their N- and C-terminal propeptides. Moreover, these fibrils were packed in bundles organized into an interwoven network that mimics the pattern of the papillary dermis. These findings show that fibroblasts cultured for one month in a collagen sponge construct large amounts of a highly differentiated connective tissue. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
