Dissipation of chemical energy released in exothermic reactions at metal surfaces may
happen adiabatically by creation of phonons or non-adiabatically by excitation of the …

Hot electrons and holes created at Ag and Cu surfaces by adsorption of thermal hydrogen
and deuterium atoms have been measured directly with ultrathin metal film Schottky diode …

Ultra-thin film Au/n-Ge Schottky diodes were used to detect electrons excited by
chemisorption of atomic oxygen and atomic hydrogen. The absorption generated a …

Chemical reactions at surface may dissipate energy exciting electron-hole pairs in the metal
substrate. Direct detection of the chemically induced hot charge carriers may be achieved by …

Chemically induced hot carriers are detected with a time resolution of 0.1 s by measuring
currents in Ta/TaOx/Au tunnel junctions while the Au top electrode is exposed to atomic …

Electrochemical reactions (oxidation or reduction) start when the electronic levels of the
redoxsystem within the electrolyte cross the Fermi level EF of the electrode-from below to …

Adsorption of ground state nitric oxide and molecular oxygen on Ag at 130 K were observed
to produce excited electrons which were detectable as a “chemicurrent” in a large area …
