Ultrathin oxide films on metals offer new opportunities for the design of supported
nanoclusters with potential use in catalysis. This requires a characterization at the atomistic …

The concept of coupling a nanometer or subnanometer scale oxide phase to a metal surface
to form a metal–oxide hybrid material with novel properties is an attractive approach in the …

Thin SiO 2 films were grown on a Ru (0001) single crystal and studied by photoelectron
spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy and scanning probe microscopy. The experimental …

Morphology, electronic structure, and CO adsorption of gold supported on well-ordered
CeO2 (111) thin films and CeO x nanoparticles were studied by scanning tunneling …

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 …

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 …

A combination of density functional theory calculations and photoelectron spectroscopy
provides new insights into the atomistic picture of ultrathin silica films grown on Ru (0001) …

In this paper, I review recent progress in joint theoretical and experimental studies aiming at
atomic structure determination of low-dimensional metal oxides. Low-dimensional systems …

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 …

The recently discovered effects of quantum scattering for atoms and molecules with impact
energies in the keV range on well ordered surfaces at glancing angles of incidence has …
