In this review we examine the presently available theoretical techniques for determining
metal surface reaction energetics. The unity bond index-quadratic exponential potential (UBI …

Surface cleaning procedures for seventy four of the elements having vapor pressures below
1.3× 10− 7 Pa at room temperature have been reviewed and evaluated. The emphasis was …

Publisher Summary Catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide over catalysts from the platinum
group metals has been investigated. Apart from its enormous practical importance, this …

The structures of the reconstructed Ir (100), Pt (100) and Au (100) surfaces have been
investigated. Low energy electron diffraction (LEED) patterns are analyzed and LEED …

Surface Properties of Electronic Materials is the fifth volume of the series, The Chemical
Physics of Solid Surfaces and Heterogeneous Catalysis. This volume indicates the present …

The chemisorption of H2, O2, CO, CO2, NO, C2H4, C2H2 and C has been studied on the
clean Rh (111) and (100) surfaces. LEED, AES and thermal desorption were used to …

Adsorbed atoms and molecules frequently cause restructuring of single-crystal surfaces,
ranging from small atomic relaxations and reconstructions to macroscopic shape …

CO oxidation over platinum group metals has been investigated for some eight decades by
many researchers and is considered to be the best understood catalytic reaction …

The study of surfaces and surface processes has developed greatly over the last 30 years. 1,
2 New techniques are continually being developed to study ever more complex aspects of …

This paper addresses itself to the question of the inadequacy of the donation-backdonation
model for treating CO adsorption (both strong and weak) especially in the light of recent …
