X-ray spectroscopy is an important tool for scientific analysis. While the earliest
demonstration experiments were realised in the laboratory, with the advent of synchrotron …

Single atom catalysis (SAC) is a recent discipline of heterogeneous catalysis for which a
single atom on a surface is able to carry out various catalytic reactions. A kind of revolution …

On the basis of its generally accessible I/II redox couple and bioavailability, copper plays a
wide variety of roles in nature that mostly involve electron transfer (ET), O 2 binding …

Oxygen, which supports all aerobic life, is produced by photosynthetic water oxidation in
plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. The water-oxidation reaction probably first appeared in …

Starting from the late seventies, the progressively increased availability of synchrotron light
sources allowed the execution of experiments requiring a high X-ray flux in a continuous …

Nitrogenase is a complex enzyme that catalyzes the reduction of dinitrogen to ammonia.
Despite insight from structural and biochemical studies, its structure and mechanism await …

The creation of a 1s core hole in a 3d transition metal ion gives rise to an emission spectrum
that can be recorded using a crystal analyzer. K shell X-ray spectroscopy using an analyser …

In this review, high-resolution X-ray emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy will be
discussed. The focus is on the 3d transition-metal systems. To understand high-resolution X …

A systematic study of 12 ferric and ferrous Kβ X-ray emission spectra (XES) is presented.
The factors contributing to the Kβ main line and the valence to core region of the spectra are …

Knowledge of the structure of catalysts is essential to understand their behavior, which
further facilitates development of an active, selective, and stable catalyst. Determining the …
