Journal ArticleDOI
Atomic-scale structure and catalytic reactivity of the RuO(2)(110) surface
Herbert Over,Young Dae Kim,Ari P. Seitsonen,Ari P. Seitsonen,Stefan Wendt,Edvin Lundgren,Michael Schmid,Peter Varga,Alberto Morgante,Gerhard Ertl +9 more
TL;DR: The results provide atomic-scale verification of a general mechanism originally proposed by Mars and van Krevelen in 1954 and are likely to be of general relevance for the mechanism of catalytic reactions at oxide surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray Diffraction and Computation Yield the Structure of Alkanethiols on Gold(111)
Albano Cossaro,Riccardo Mazzarello,Roger Rousseau,Loredana Casalis,Alberto Verdini,Axel Kohlmeyer,Luca Floreano,Sandro Scandolo,Alberto Morgante,Michael L. Klein,Giacinto Scoles,Giacinto Scoles +11 more
TL;DR: The structure of self-assembled monolayers of long-chain alkyl sulfides on gold has been resolved by density functional theory–based molecular dynamics simulations and grazing incidence x-ray diffraction for hexanethiol and methylthiol and it is found that the sulfur atoms of the molecules bind at two distinct surface sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure of a CH3S monolayer on Au(111) solved by the interplay between molecular dynamics calculations and diffraction measurements.
Riccardo Mazzarello,Riccardo Mazzarello,Albano Cossaro,Alberto Verdini,Roger Rousseau,Loredana Casalis,Mehmet Fatih Danışman,Luca Floreano,Sandro Scandolo,Alberto Morgante,Giacinto Scoles,Giacinto Scoles +11 more
TL;DR: The authors' simulations find a dynamic equilibrium between bridge site adsorption and a novel structure where 2 CH3S radicals are bound to an Au adatom that has been lifted from the gold substrate, which is characterized by a large atomic roughness with both adatoms and vacancies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zwitterionic self-assembly of l-methionine nanogratings on the Ag(111) surface
Agustin Schiffrin,Andreas Riemann,Willi Auwärter,Y. Pennec,Alexander Weber-Bargioni,Dean Cvetko,Albano Cossaro,Alberto Morgante,Johannes V. Barth +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that zwitterionic assembly of amino acids represents a general construction motif to achieve biomolecular nanoarchitectures on surfaces to control matter at the nanoscale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defect states at the TiO2(110) surface probed by resonant photoelectron diffraction.
Peter Krüger,Sylvie Bourgeois,Bruno Domenichini,Hélène Magnan,D. Chandesris,P. Le Fèvre,A. M. Flank,Jacques Jupille,Luca Floreano,A. Cossaro,Alberto Verdini,Alberto Morgante +11 more
TL;DR: The charge distribution of the defect states at the reduced TiO(2)(110) surface is studied via a new method, the resonant photoelectron diffraction, and the defect charge is found to be shared by several surface and subsurface Ti sites with the dominant contribution on a specific subsurfaced site in agreement with density functional theory calculations.
