Measuring and modelling mechanochemical reaction kinetics

Abstract

Quasi-static density functional theory calculations of the rate of mechanochemical decomposition of methyl thiolate species adsorbed on Cu(100) accurately reproduce the experimental normal-stress dependent rates measured in ultrahigh vacuum by an atomic force microscopy tip. This allows precise analytical models for mechanochemical reaction kinetics to be developed.
