RESEARCH STUDY OF CHEMISORPTION BY MAGNETO ABSORPTION
Abstract:
The effect of adsorbed H on the magnetic losses in finely divided Ni at 3.7 and 13 mcsec. was studied. The increased sensitivity at these frequencies is attributed to a difference in relaxation times for particles of different sizes. Experiments designed to detect the effect of adsorbed H on the microwave absorption of Fe and Ni single crystals are described. Possible reasons for the lack of a clear-cut effect are discussed. Ferromagnetic resonance spectra of finely divided Ni are described. The effects of adsorbed H on the intensity, g-value and line width of the resonance are discussed. It is demonstrated that the well-known magnetic effects of chemisorbed H on Ni, which have been measured at static and low frequency fields, can be observed also by magnetic resonance and with a sensitivity at least 10 to the 5th power greater, in terms of weight of metal required.
