Atomically dispersed metal catalysts (ADCs), as an emerging class of heterogeneous
catalysts, have been widely investigated during the past two decades. The atomic dispersion …

Symptoms of radiation damage are reviewed, followed by a brief description of the three
main damage mechanisms: knock-on displacement (predominant in electrically conducting …

Nanostructured catalysts incorporating supported metal atoms or small clusters of defined
size and chemical composition attract considerable attention because of their potential to …

Selective conversion of specific functional groups to desired products is highly important but
still challenging in industrial catalytic processes. The adsorption state of surface species is …

One of the attractive properties of the hollow carbon clusters, known as fullerenes, is the
possibility to use them as robust containers for other species. Although an IUPAC …

Magnetic lanthanide (Ln) metal complexes exhibiting magnetic bistability can behave as
molecular nanomagnets, also known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs), suitable for …

Direct imaging and chemical identification of all the atoms in a material with unknown three-
dimensional structure would constitute a very powerful general analysis tool. Transmission …

Within the last 30 years, electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) has become a standard
analytical technique used in the transmission electron microscope to extract chemical and …

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs), a new class of hybrid molecules formed by
encapsulation of metallic species inside fullerene cages, exhibit unique properties that differ …
