Transition metal carbides (TMCs) are produced by incorporating carbon atoms into the
interstitial sites of their parent metals, which typically include all 3d elements and 4d/5d …

The incorporation of heteroatoms like N in activated carbons is of interest to modify the
surface chemistry of the materials and, then, to improve their behavior as catalyst or catalyst …

Ultrathin two-dimensional (2D) materials, including both layered and nonlayered structures
show promise as electrocatalysts. Their catalytic performance is limited by their natural …

The X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
(XPS), valence band photoemission (VB-PES) and Raman spectroscopy results show that …

The same method used to determine σ* excitations in the x-ray-absorption spectra of organic
molecules is applied to analyze the structure of the σ* band in the x-ray absorption spectra of …

Amorphous carbon nitride films containing increasing concentrations of nitrogen were
deposited by ion beam assisted deposition at a substrate temperature of 150° C. The …

Hard carbon thin films were synthesized on Si (100) and quartz substrates by the Pulsed
Laser Deposition (PLD) technique in vacuum or methane ambient to study their suitability for …

We studied the thermally induced phase transformations of electron-beam-induced
deposited (EBID) amorphous carbon nanostructures by correlating the changes in its …

The formation of the carbide interface between polycrystalline molybdenum and hydrogen-
free carbon films is investigated at different substrate temperatures (ambient, 400 and 600° …

This work investigates the C K-edge x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), valence-
band photoelectron spectroscopy (PES), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra of Si …
