Instinct may suggest that atoms are reagents second to none, for, the noble gases apart, the
atoms of an element must be thermodynamically superior as synthons to the element in bulk …

In many cases, variational transition states for a chemical reaction are significantly displaced
from a saddle point because of zero‐point and entropic effects that depend on the reaction …

An extensive set of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) measurements of Si atoms during the
chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of silicon from silane and disilane in a research rotating …

Considerable effort is presently put into the development of thin film microcrystalline silicon,
because it has a larger long-wavelength response than amorphous silicon, while at the …

The products of SiH4 decomposition on the surface of various filaments were directly
detected by using vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) photo-ionization mass spectrometry under …

The bimolecular gas-phase reaction of ground-state atomic carbon (C (3Pj)) with disilane
(Si2H6, X1A1g) was explored under single-collision conditions in a crossed molecular beam …

We report the discovery in space of methyl silane, CH 3 SiH 3, from observations of ten
rotational transitions between 80 and 350 GHz (J u from 4 to 16) with the IRAM 30 m radio …

The reaction of silicon atoms with methane (1) and silane (7) in argon at 10 K has been
studied. Methane (1) is found to be inert to silicon atoms, but reaction occurs upon …

Structures, vibrational frequencies, and energies for the chlorinated disilenes, their
dibridged isomers, and the transition states connecting the chlorinated disilenes to the …

A reaction of a metal atom with small compounds is important for the understanding of the
elemental reaction mechanisms of catalysis, surface chemistry, and so on. These chemical …
