Abstract
A high‐pressure cell and manipulator mounted inside an UHV surface analysis chamber has been built which can reach 1800 psi. With this apparatus, catalytic reactions on small surface area (∼1 cm2) single crystals and polycrystalline surfaces are monitored, and the effect of reactant pressure, surface composition, and surface structure are correlated with catalytic activity. This article describes in detail the apparatus and typical experimental procedure.Keywords
