The study of the adsorption and the coadsorption of alkali metals on single-crystal metal
surfaces is a very active sub-field of surface science, partly because of the importance of …

Recent progress in the ab initio quantum chemistry study of cathode oxygen reduction on
fuel cell catalysts is reviewed with emphasis on density functional theory and ab initio …

The purpose of this book is the development of the principles and experimental techniques
underlying near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and the …

A model is presented which allows the determination of molecular orientations on surfaces
from analysis of the angle-dependent resonance intensities in K-shell near-edge x-ray …

The study of coadsorption of alkali metals and simple molecules on transition metal surfaces
has been a favored topic of research ever since the pioneering work by Langmuir in 1923 …

The dissociative adsorption of oxygen on the (111) surfaces of platinum, palladium, and
nickel has been investigated using ab initio local-spin-density calculations. For all three …

K shell excitation spectra of the aromatic molecules benzene and pyridine in the gas phase
are compared to those for the solids (ices) and for monolayers chemisorbed on Pt (111). The …

For O 2Pt (111) we have found four different adsorption phases which are formed at different
substrate temperatures. At about 25 K the oxygen molecules physisorb on the surface. Two …

Ab initio local-spin-density calculations for the adsorption of O 2 on Pt (111) are presented.
We identify two distinct, but energetically almost degenerate chemisorbed precursors. A …

Here we present a review of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray Raman scattering with
the perspective to understand the spectra of water including changes with temperature …
