Journal ArticleDOI

Methods and application of UV photoelectron microscopy in heterogenous catalysis

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-destructive PEEM was used for recording various types of spatio-temporal patterns on a Pt(110) surface accompaning the catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide.
Journal ArticleDOI

Remote triggering of waves in an electrochemical system

TL;DR: In the potentiostatic electrochemical oxidation of formic acid on a platinum ring electrode under bistable conditions, an appropriate perturbation at one location of the ring can cause the emergence of a wave on the opposite side (remote triggering).
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoelectron spectroscopy of polycrystalline platinum catalysts

TL;DR: Pt black catalysts have been characterized by X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectrum analysis (UPS) as discussed by the authors, and the results for the catalytic properties of Pt in nhexane reactions and quantification of H2-O2 titration are discussed briefly.
Journal ArticleDOI

A TDS and HREELS study of CO adsorbed on a potassium promoted Fe(111) surface

TL;DR: In this paper, the adsorption behavior of CO on a potassium promoted Fe(111) surface was investigated in the range from zero to several monolayers of preadsorbed potassium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Singlet to triplet conversion of metastable He atoms during deexcitation at a Cs-covered surface.

TL;DR: A novel mechanism for this spin-flip process is proposed; it is accompanied by the creation of an electron-hole pair in the target for conservation of energy and total spin.
