Whenever a compound crystal is cut normal to a randomly chosen direction, there is an
overwhelming probability that the resulting surface corresponds to a polar termination and is …

The interfaces of polar oxide heterostructures can display electronic properties unique from
the oxides they border, as they require screening from either internal or external sources of …

Porous, nanostructured BiVO4 films are incorporated with Mo and W by simultaneous
evaporation of Bi, V, Mo, and W in vacuum followed by oxidation in air. Synthesis …

Solid metal oxides for carbon capture exhibit reduced adsorption capacity following high-
temperature exposure, due to surface area reduction by sintering. Furthermore, only low …

Combined experimental infrared (IR) and theoretical approaches have been carried out in
an attempt to specify the actual structure of the CO2 species adsorbed on the magnesium …

A reduction of symmetry from C6v to C3v leads to the opening of a band gap in the
otherwise gapless semiconductor graphene. Simple models provide a fairly complete …

MgO kristallisiert im Kochsalzgitter und hat üblicherweise die Mg (100) Ebene an der
Oberfläche. Die Mg (111) Ebene besteht aus alternierenden Monoschichten von …

Surface sensitive synchrotron x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and real-time in situ
XPS were used to study the thermal stability of the hydroxyl termination and downward band …

Magnetic nanoparticles of the 3d transition metal oxides have gained enormous interest for
applications in various fields such as data storage devices, catalysis, drug-delivery, and …

A detailed spectroscopic and structural characterization of ultrathin cobalt oxide films grown
by O-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy on α-Al 2 O 3 (0001) single crystals is reported. The …
