This review describes the history and development of plasma-assisted catalysis focussing
mainly on the use of atmospheric pressure, non-thermal plasma. It identifies the various …

Hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) is establishing itself as an essential
technique for the characterisation of materials. The number of specialised photoelectron …

Photocatalytic activity is determined by the transport property of photoexcited carriers from
the interior to the surface of photocatalysts. Because the carrier dynamics is influenced by a …

Time-and Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy from surfaces can be used to record
the dynamics of electrons and holes in condensed matter on ultrafast time scales. However …

A new soft X-ray beamline, BL07LSU, has been constructed at SPring-8 to perform
advanced soft X-ray spectroscopy for materials science. The beamline is designed to …

The time-resolved change in the surface potential upon photoexcitation has been measured
in two n-type photovoltaics, Si (111) 7× 7 and ZnO (10 1¯ 0), using two different laser pump …

A new energy and angular electron analyzer ArTOF (Angular Resolved Time of Flight) is
described. The analyzer is based on simultaneous measurement of flight times and angles …

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) is one of the most powerful techniques to
quantitatively analyze the chemical composition and electronic structure of surfaces and …

Catalytic chemical reactions proceeding on solid surfaces are an important topic in
fundamental science and industrial technologies such as energy conversion, pollution …

Time-resolved soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) experiments were performed
with time scales from picoseconds to nanoseconds to trace relaxation of surface …
