Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

Water adsorption at metal surfaces is governed by a subtle balance between water–water
hydrogen bonding and water–metal interactions, which together determine the stability of …

Atomic beam techniques are presently being used in many branches of surface physics
such as studies of the particle-surface physisorption potential, surface structure, surface …

When a slow, rare gas, metastable atom, a longlived, electronically excited atom, is
introduced onto a solid surface, most of its excitation energy is used to eject electrons from …

Publisher Summary Metastable induced electron spectroscopy (MIES) combines
spectroscopic information with perfect surface sensitivity. The ability to spin-polarize the …

This series, established in 1965, is concerned with recent developments in the general area
of atomic, molecular and optical physics. The field is in a state of rapid growth, as new …

Hydroxide adsorption on the (111),(110), and (100) faces of silver electrodes from mixed
NaOH/NaF solution is studied using cyclic voltammetry and in situ second harmonic …

Clean silver is known to be inert toward H2 dissociation. Nevertheless, silver catalysts
recently have been found to exhibit a noteworthy selectivity in the hydrogenation of …

The adsorption and surface disproportionation reactions of OH on various silver surfaces
were studied by the dipped adcluster model (DAM) combined with ab initio HF and MP2 …

The nucleation of silver atoms by the gas aggregation technique when adding O2 and H2O
molecules in the carrier gas was investigated by photoionization mass spectrometry. No …
