Interatomic or intermolecular Coulombic decay (ICD) is a nonlocal electronic decay
mechanism occurring in weakly bound matter. In an ICD process, energy released by …

The notion of asymmetrical Hydrogen Bond (O: HO) Cooperativity and Polarizability (HBCP)
has enabled exploration of the core physics behind irregularities of water and ice …

Elementary processes associated with ionization of liquid water provide a framework for
understanding radiation-matter interactions in chemistry and biology. Although numerous …

Graphene oxide (GO) prepared from graphite powder using a modified Hummers method
and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) obtained from GO using different reductants, ie, sodium …

Chemical analysis of solid–liquid interfaces under electrochemical conditions has recently
become feasible due to the development of new synchrotron radiation techniques. Here we …

Exploring non-precious-metal catalysts (NPMCs) for highly-efficient oxygen reduction
reactions (ORRs) in fuel cells holds great potential to ease the global energy challenge …

In this overview, I will briefly explore some of the basic concepts and observable effects in X-
ray photoelectron spectroscopy, including references to some key first publications, as well …

For (H2O) n where n= 1–10, we used a scheme combining molecular dynamics sampling
with high level ab initio calculations to locate the global and many low lying local minima for …

Here we present an overview of recent developments of X-ray and electron spectroscopy to
probe water at different temperatures. Photon-induced ionization followed by detection of …

The structure of liquid water is presently under intense debate. We summarize the historical
development of the present description of water and the controversy surrounding the X-ray …
