Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of polar oxide surfaces
A. Wander,Fred Schedin,P. Steadman,A.G. Norris,Ronan McGrath,Tracy Turner,Geoff Thornton,Nicholas M. Harrison,Nicholas M. Harrison +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the structure of the polar surfaces of ZnO was studied using ab initio calculations and surface x-ray diffraction and the experimental and theoretical relaxations were in good agreement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relaxation of TiO 2 ( 110 ) -( 1 × 1 ) Using Surface X-Ray Diffraction
G. Charlton,Paul B. Howes,Chris Nicklin,P. Steadman,J.S.G. Taylor,Christopher A. Muryn,S.P. Harte,J. Mercer,Ronan McGrath,D. Norman,Tracy Turner,G. Thornton +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, surface x-ray diffraction has been used to determine the structural relaxations of the titanium planes, and the results of three independent calculations of the energy minimization structure were compared with the positions of the predicted positions of titanium atoms predicted by Ramamoorthy et al.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural studies of alkali metal adsorption and coadsorption on metal surfaces
Renee D. Diehl,Ronan McGrath +1 more
TL;DR: A review of recent studies of adsorption and coadsorption using specifically structural techniques can be found in this paper, with the intention of highlighting recent developments, providing a useful reference base to the community, and drawing attention to some unifying concepts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Geometry of C60 on Ag(111)
H. I. Li,Katariina Pussi,Kelly Hanna,Lin-Lin Wang,Duane D. Johnson,Hai-Ping Cheng,Heekeun Shin,Stefano Curtarolo,Wolfgang Moritz,Joseph Smerdon,Ronan McGrath,Renee D. Diehl +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first dynamical low-energy electron diffraction study was performed to determine the geometry of a C60 monolayer, Agð111Þ-ð2 ffiffiffi p � 2 ffiffiffin p Þ30 � -C 60, and related density functional theory calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current progress in understanding alkali metal adsorption on metal surfaces
Renee D. Diehl,Ronan McGrath +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the current situation in the understanding of alkali adsorption on metal surfaces, with particular emphasis on recent structural discoveries, and discuss whether calculations based on density-functional theory constitute such a paradigm.
