Electrochemical and electrocatalytic processes are of key importance for the transition to a
sustainable energy supply as well as for a wide variety of other technologically relevant …

The role of stress at solid surfaces in a vacuum environment and in contact with a liquid
electrolyte in reconstruction, epitaxial growth and self-organization or stabilization of …

High momentum resolution angle resolved photoemission spectra from the Au (111) sp-
derived surface state exhibit a doublet. The separation between the peaks increases linearly …

Surface and interface stresses in solids are defined and their role in the thermodynamics of
solids is presented. A discussion concerning the physical meaning of these quantities is …

A general introduction to X-ray diffraction and its application to the study of surfaces and
interfaces is presented. The application of X-ray diffraction to various problems in surface …

Chemical reactions occurring at the mineral–water interface are controlled by an interfacial
layer, nanometers thick, whose properties may deviate from those of the respective bulk …

Starting with a simple introduction into the phenomenon of surface stress from a
thermodynamic as well as from an atomistic viewpoint, the currently available literature on …

We suggest that the herringbone reconstruction of the Au (111) surface results from the
spontaneous formation of ''stress domains.''The surface is described theoretically by a 2D …

We have used scanning tunneling spectroscopy to spatially resolve the electronic structure
of clean Au (111) at low temperature. We find that the long-range herringbone reconstruction …

We present a method for synthesizing large area epitaxial single-layer MoS2 on the Au
(111) surface in ultrahigh vacuum. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and low energy …
