Journal ArticleDOI
Scanning photoemission microscopy of surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the total yield of electrons emitted by UV light focussed onto a small spot of the surface while the sample position is continuously varied is recorded, based on work function differences with a lateral resolution of the order of 1 μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chaos and Interior Crisis in an Electrochemical Reaction
TL;DR: The electrochemical oxidation of hydrogen on a platinum anode in the presence of copper ions exhibits under galvanostatic conditions kinetic oscillations due to periodic poisoning and activation transitions of the electrode by underpotential deposition and dissolution of a passivating Cu monolayer as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A statistical model for oxygen adsorption on W (211)
Gerhard Ertl,M. Plancher +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the configuration of the adsorbed atoms with respect to each other is governed by a set of anisotropic interactions between neighbouring particles, and the equilibrium arrangements for various coverages were simulated by means of the Monte Carlo technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bridging the "material gap" between single crystal studies and real catalysis
TL;DR: Using thermal desorption spectroscopy, it was demonstrated that the K-Fe(111) model systems and industrial ammonia synthesis catalysts exhibit indeed very similar properties with respect to nitrogen adsorption which result is considered as direct confirmation for the assumptions underlying the theoretical treatment as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Appearance potential spectroscopy studies with Fe/Ni alloys
Klaus Wandelt,Gerhard Ertl +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the appearance potential spectra for a series of Fe/Ni alloys whose compositions in the surface region were determined by means of Auger electron spectroscopy were recorded.
