Controlling the surface structure of metal nanocrystals while maximizing the utilization
efficiency of the atoms is a subject of great importance. An emerging strategy that has …

This is a comprehensive theoretical survey of acoustic wave propagation in layered
materials including elastic, viscoelastic and piezoelectric layers. The phonon modes are …

The in situ metalation of monolayers and multilayers of 2H-tetraphenylporphyrin (2HTPP)
with Fe atoms on Ag (111) was studied with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and X-ray …

A systematic scanning tunnelling microscopy study of the self-assembly, intramolecular
conformation and supramolecular ordering of different tetraphenylporphyrins (xTPP) with or …

Solid state dewetting of ultrathin films is the most straightforward means of fabricating
substrate-supported noble metal nanostructures. This assembly process is, however, quite …

Contrary to the formation of complicated polycrystals induced by general crystallization, a
modulated superlatticelike nanostructure, which grows layer by layer from the surface to the …

We present a detailed study on the magnetic properties, including anisotropy, reversal fields,
and magnetization reversal processes, of well characterized half-metallic epitaxial La 0.7 Sr …

Manganese redox cycling and the accompanying dissolution and precipitation reactions are
important processes in natural waters. In the present study, Mn2+ (aq) is reacted with O2 …

The formation of PtRu surface alloys by deposition of submonolayer Pt films on a Ru (0001)
substrate and subsequent annealing to about 1350 K and the distribution of the Pt atoms in …

A detailed study of the evolution of the magnetoresistance was performed on
electrodeposited Co/Cu multilayers with Cu-layer thicknesses ranging from 0.5 to 4.5 nm …
