| Greetings!
In this October News Edition we are enjoying the Fall Foliage that has really blossomed in the last week. We even had snow here in Massachusetts last Sunday during the Patriots football game in Foxborough; it's really a bit too early for snow even for us New Englanders!
Our R&D team has been busy organizing work teams for the upcoming PITTCON research projects since our recent acceptance notifications were received. Exciting things are happening in the field of Nanotechnology research; for more information read our Abstract below entitled: Hydrogen-sorption on Graphite, Graphite Nanofibers, and Palladium surfaces.
Attention Global Spec subscribers: we're adding Product Announcements and Technical Articles weekly.

PITTCON 2010 Preview
Hydrogen-sorption on Graphite, Graphite Nanofibers, and Palladium surfaces
PID Analyzers - Jack Driscoll Suffolk University - Ben Anacleto, Francesca Little, Walter Johnson, Jiwoon Kim, Pol Perov, Prashant Sharma, Nat Steinstultz We study the hydrogenation of graphite, graphite nanofibers and Palladium nanoparticles and thin films using scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Earlier theoretical [1] and X-ray absorption [2] studies have established the presence of both physisorption and chemisorption in single-wall carbon nanotubes. Our aim is to study chemisorption of hydrogen on carbon nanotubes and graphite under ambient conditions using the STM. We intend to compare our results of hydrogenation of Palladium with previous STM studies [3,4] to better understand Pd-H charge transfer interaction in nanoparticles. Our preliminary studies of Pd films deposited on Si substrates have indicated that exposure to H2 resulted in increase of the Pd film thickness, and annealing the film in air or in vacuum reversed the thickness changes. However, even prior to the exposure of the Pd film to H2, the film thickness as measured in air by a spectroscopic ellipsometer was always large than the original thickness defined during the deposition process. This could be caused by the adsorption of hydrogen or water vapors on the Pd film and by surface reactions. These metal-hydrogen systems are interesting both from a theoretical point of view and for their utility in sensor technology, and hydrogen storage technology [4]. [1] S. Park, D. Srivastava, and K.
