Study of Synchrotron Radiation from Wet Electrode Surfaces.
Abstract
The purpose of the project is to probe the structure of the charged liquid:solid interface using synchrotron radiation. The initial experiment is to measure the EXAFS spectrum of a halide on a flat metallic electrode surface. By obtaining the EXAFS spectrum as a function of potential, we should be able to determine the extent of adsorption and how the surface structure changes with coverage. In addition, the theory of progressively more realistic models of the charged interface is being studied: 1. A rather exhaustive study of the so called primitive model, using the Bron-Green Yvon equation and accurate bulk correlation functions. 2. A model for the structure of water with sticky directional forces is proposed. This model has the correct structure of liquid water and should be more realistic than hard spheres with point dipoles. 3. A model of the charged interface with discrete adsorption sites: In particular, we can solve exactly the one component plasma in two dimensions.
