The successful exfoliation of graphene has given a tremendous boost to research on various
two-dimensional (2D) materials in the last 15 years. Different from traditional thin films, a 2D …

This paper presents a review of the experimental and theoretical investigations of halogen
interaction with metal surfaces. The emphasis was placed on the recent measurements …

Large 2D monocrystals are highly sought after yet hard to achieve; unlike graphene, most
dichalcogenides and h-BN possess low symmetry, which allows for nucleation of mutually …

We report the first observation of well-ordered fluorine monolayers (MLs) on the Cu (111)
surface. Fluorine atoms were adsorbed on the copper surface through the controlled …

Using cyclic voltammetry (CV), reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS), and in situ
electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy (EC-STM), we have studied the structure …

In this paper, the N, N‐dimethylformamide (DMF)‐assisted shape evolution of highly uniform
and shape‐pure copper nanocrystals (Cu NCs) is presented for the first time. Colloidal Cu …

Morphological changes of a bare Cu (110) substrate in 10 mM HCl aqueous solution have
been studied using cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy …

The key to understand metal/electrolyte interfaces is the “electrochemical double layer,”
which consists of a charged metal surface and a near‐surface regime enriched with ions of …

Adsorption of molecular chlorine onto the Ag (110) surface has been studied with low-
temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, and density …

Reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) is a powerful optical probe that works on a
polarization contrast basis. It can be operated in any environment, ranging from ultrahigh …
