The activation of O2 on metal surfaces is a critical process for heterogeneous catalysis and
materials oxidation. Fundamental studies of well-defined metal surfaces using a variety of …

The oxidation and corrosion of metals are fundamental problems in materials science and
technology that have been studied using a large variety of experimental and computational …

Alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), consisting of Volmer and Heyrovsky/Tafel
steps, requires extra energy for water dissociation, leading to more sluggish kinetics than …

To anyone who is interested in surface chemical analysis of materials on the nanometer
scale, this book is prepared to give appropriate information. Based on typical application …

A detailed ESCA study has been made of the oxidation of 16 different elemental metal
systems. The metals were examined as high purity, thin, polycrystalline foils, which were …

This fully revised, updated and reorganised third edition provides a thorough introduction to
the characterisation techniques used in surface science and nanoscience today. Each …

The work function (WF) of a metal can be defined as the minimum energy required to extract
one electron from a metal. Obviously the WF is one of the fundamental electronic properties …

The kinetics of isothermal phase transformations have been described by the Johnson-Mehl-
Avrami-Kohnogorov (JMAK) phenomenological model since the 40's. Although many …

In 1970 when I first seriously contemplated writing a book on electron spectroscopy, I
recognized the impossibility of completely reaching my desired goals. First, the field was …

Results of X-ray scattering measurements using synchrotron radiation on a Ni (111) single
crystal electrode in 1M KOH are presented. On first immersion at the open circuit potential …
