“…Physisorption on alkali halide-films, -powders, and -single crystal cleavage planes has been studied by using e. g. volumetric techniques [l -3,6 -101, infrared spectroscopy (IR) [11 -18, 211, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) [4,19], and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy [20] yielding adsorption isotherms and isosteric heats of adsorption. In particular, volumetric techniques have been applied to powdered samples: Ar, 02, N2 and C 0 2 on NaCl [6], C2Hs on NaCl and KCl [7], Xe, CH4 and C2H6 on NaCl [S], Kr on NaCl, KCl and RbCl [9], water and alcoholes [lo] as well as Ar, CHI, 02, and N2 on NaF [2]. IR measurements have been reported for CO CH3F [17] and C2H6 [lS] on NaCl films and for water and alcoholes on compressed NaF-powder [lo].…”
