Owing to their unique physical and chemical properties, transition metal compounds,
especially transition metal oxides, nitrides, carbides and sulfides, have been the subject of …

The development of femtosecond lasers brought entirely new possibilities into the practice of
timeresolved spectroscopy, for both UV-vis and IR-Raman spectroscopies. In addition, it has …

The purpose of this book is the development of the principles and experimental techniques
underlying near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy and the …

Physics at Surfaces is a unique graduate-level introduction to the physics and chemical
physics of solid surfaces, and atoms and molecules that interact with solid surfaces. A …

A model is presented which allows the determination of molecular orientations on surfaces
from analysis of the angle-dependent resonance intensities in K-shell near-edge x-ray …

Carbenes such as 4, which were first prepared from the corresponding diazo compounds 5
either photochemically or thermally (Scheme 1), received their name “collaboratively by WvE …

K shell excitation spectra of the aromatic molecules benzene and pyridine in the gas phase
are compared to those for the solids (ices) and for monolayers chemisorbed on Pt (111). The …

For O 2Pt (111) we have found four different adsorption phases which are formed at different
substrate temperatures. At about 25 K the oxygen molecules physisorb on the surface. Two …

Inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) is the new name for bremsstrahlung isochromat
spectroscopy. It is used to study the unoccupied electronic states in solids and at their …

One of the more controversial issues in surface science concerns the relevance of studies
on singlecrystal surfaces under vacuum conditions for processes such as heterogeneous …
