Ruthenium is a chemical element that can easily adopt various formal oxidation states from−
II to+ VIII in chemical bonds,(1, 2) thus giving rise to many compounds with interesting and …

This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is widely used to determine the chemical and
electronic states of atoms within a material. However, it is often complex to interpret the O 1s …

Rare earth oxides have seen increased usage over the years in batteries and catalysts. Due
to their unique electronic properties, they are the subject of fundamental and practical …

We present detailed density functional calculations for CO on Rh (111). At low coverage, the
applied semilocal functionals clearly favor CO adsorption in the hollow site. This is in …

The In 2 O 3 catalyst has been shown to have a high activity for CO 2 hydrogenation to
methanol. For this high pressure process, reliable spectral assignment of surface species …

A nonthermal, atmospheric He/O2 plasma (NTAP) successfully removed
polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) from Pd cubic nanoparticles supported on SiO2 quickly and …

X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is commonly applied for the characterization of
surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum apparatus, but the application of XPS at elevated pressures …

The focus of the present article is on understanding the insight that X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) measurements can provide when studying self-assembled monolayers …

By combining high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we
show that carbon nanoislands formed during the growth of a long-range ordered graphene …
