Two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin silica films have the potential to reach technological
importance in electronics and catalysis. Several well-defined 2D-silica structures have been …

In recent years, silica films have emerged as a novel class of two-dimensional (2D)
materials. Several groups succeeded in epitaxial growth of ultrathin SiO 2 layers using …

Topological phases of matter have revolutionised the fundamental understanding of band
theory and hold great promise for next-generation technologies such as low-power …

The atomic structure of thin silica films grown over a Ru (0001) substrate was studied by X-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy, infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy, low energy …

Flat pore models: Thin, well-defined aluminosilicate films with tetrahedral [SiO 4/2] and [AlO
4/2⁻] building blocks that are weakly bound to an underlying metal support contain highly …

Abstract Silica nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs) were synthesized from the sugarcane bagasse
(SB), pinewood stem (PS), walnut shell (WS), and rice husk (RH) using ambient burning …

We studied the atomic structure of ultrathin silica films on Pt (111) in comparison with the
previously studied films on Mo (112) and Ru (0001). The results obtained by scanning …

Ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) supported by density
functional theory (DFT) calculations was used to characterize the interaction of water with …

This paper critically reviews the experimental and theoretical studies on the growth of
ultrathin silica films onto metal single crystal substrates reported to date. The silica films on …

Oxide materials at the two-dimensional limit, in particular in the form of ultrathin films of
oxides (UTOx) grown on metal surfaces, represent promising materials in view of both …
