Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of photoexcited electrons in metals studied with time-resolved two-photon photoemission

TL;DR: In this paper, a femtosecond time-resolved two-photon photoemission (2PPE) was used to investigate the hot electron dynamics of Cu(111, Ag(110), and Ta(poly) in 2PPE.
Journal ArticleDOI

From monomers to ice – new vibrational characteristics of H2O adsorbed on Pt(111)

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the known loss of the ice multilayer at about 30 meV is due to T ⊥4, the Pt-OH 2 translational mode perpendicular to the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical oscillations in the methanol oxidation on Pt

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental observations of temporal dynamics in the electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol (CH3OH) on a polycrystalline platinum electrode were reported, and the hidden negative differential resistance (HNDR) and instabilities of the system were investigated by means of an electrochemical impedance spectrum analysis and potential oscillations under galvanostatic control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of adatom motion under the influence of mutual interactions: O/Ru(0001)

TL;DR: In this article, the diffusion motion of O atoms adsorbed on Ru(0001) was observed on the atomic scale by scanning tunneling microscopy with temporal resolution of $\ensuremath{\approx}10\mathrm{ms}$ at room temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Imaging of Spatial Pattern-Formation in an Oscillatory Surface-Reaction by Scanning Photoemission Microscopy

TL;DR: The rate of catalytic carbon monoxide oxidation on a Pt(100) single crystal surface under isothermal, low-pressure conditions exhibits for certain ranges of parameters (O2 and CO partial pressures, temperature) sustained temporal oscillations whose mechanism had been explored in previous work as mentioned in this paper.
