Solution phase noble metal nanoparticle growth reactions are comprised of deceptively
simple steps. Analytical methods with high chemical, spatial, and temporal resolution are …

Ruthenium is the most active and stable promoter of platinum known for low-temperature
fuel cell anode reactions such as the oxidation of methanol and CO. The mechanism of …

Attempts to understand the personal characteristics of others, in interactions with them, are
complicated by the fact that one tends to find what one expects. This happens not only …

The vibrational Stark effect (VSE), the effect of applied electrostatic field on a molecule's
vibrational frequency, is observed for adsorbates in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and in the …

Methods are described and demonstrated for detecting the coherent evolution of nuclear
spin observables in zero magnetic field with the full sensitivity of high field NMR. The …

The renormalization-group method developed by Wilson to calculate thermodynamical
properties of dilute magnetic alloys is generalized to allow the calculation of dynamical …

We report the results of an investigation of the interaction between Se and Ru in Ru− Se
electrocatalysts showing high activity and methanol tolerance in the oxygen reduction …

The authors report use of O 17 and C 13 NMR to study the bonding of CO on Pd particles.
By− 13 17 C double resonance, they measure the CO bond length to be 1.20±0.03 Å. The …

13C NMR shift and spin− lattice relaxation measurements have been used to investigate
13CO (ex MeOH) on fuel cell grade Pt electrodes (having average particle diameters of 2 …

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) properties of bulk metals are usually dominated by
a magnetic coupling between the nuclear spin and the spin of the conduction electrons. The …
