The oxidation and corrosion of metals are fundamental problems in materials science and
technology that have been studied using a large variety of experimental and computational …

Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and its Application presents a unified view of the rapidly
growing field of STM, and its many derivatives. A thorough discussion of the various …

Mechanisms of surface diffusion of single atoms, molecules and atomic clusters on flat
terraces (with and without a driving force) of metal and semiconductor surfaces are …

By means of temperature programmed desorption (TPD), static secondary ion mass
spectroscopy (SSIMS), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), we have investigated …

We have investigated the morphology of mass selected ruthenium nanoparticles produced
with a magnetron-sputter gas-aggregation source. The nanoparticles are mass selected …

The concept of “electronic control of single-molecule dynamics” on surfaces has appeared
only recently. This is the result of a long maturing process that started in the 1960s when …

The fundamental understanding of metal oxidation is of significant practical importance
because one of the most essential properties of engineered metals is their corrosion …

The atomic scale oxidation of the α− SiC (0001)−(3× 3) surface is investigated by atom-
resolved scanning tunneling microscopy, core level synchrotron radiation based …

Density functional theory calculations are used to study the initial-stage adsorption of O 2
molecules on the Si (111)−(7× 7) surface. Contrary to experimental suggestions, we find no …
