Sticking coefficient is the term used in surface physics to describe the ratio of the number of adsorbate atoms (or molecules) that adsorb, or "stick", to a surface to the total number of atoms that impinge upon that surface during the same period of time.〔(sticking coefficient ) ''IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology'' 2nd Edition (1997), Accessed 30 September 2008〕 Sometimes the symbol Sc is used to denote this coefficient, and its value is between 1 (all impinging atoms stick) and 0 (no atoms stick). The coefficient is a function of surface temperature, surface coverage (θ) and structural details as well as the kinetic energy of the impinging particles. ==Derivation== When arriving at a site of a surface, an adatom has three options. There is a probability that it will adsorb to the surface (), a probability that it will migrate to another site on the surface (), and a probability that it will desorb from the surface and return to the bulk gas (). For an empty site (θ=0) the sum of these three options is unity. : For a site already occupied by an adatom (θ>0), there is no probability of adsorbing, and so the probabilities sum as: : For the first site visited, the P of migrating overall is the P of migrating if the site is filled plus the P of migrating if the site is empty. The same is true for the P of desorption. The P of adsorption, however, does not exist for an already filled site. : : : The P of migrating from the second site is the P of migrating from the first site ''and then'' migrating from the second site, and so we multiply the two values. : Thus the sticking probability () is the P of sticking of the first site, plus the P of migrating from the first site ''and then'' sticking to the second site, plus the P of migrating from the second site ''and then'' sticking at the third site etc. : : There is an identity we can make use of. : : : : If we just look at the P of migration at the first site, we see that it is certainty minus all other possibilities. : Using this result, and rearranging, we find: : : : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sticking coefficient」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
