Showing papers in "Progress in Surface Science in 2005"

TL;DR: A review of surface science studies of single crystal surfaces, but selected studies on powder and polycrystalline films are also incorporated in order to provide connecting points between surface sciences studies with the broader field of materials science of tin oxide as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a short review of the shape of supported nanoparticles is presented, where the validity of the concepts of equilibrium shape for crystals with nanometer dimensions is discussed as well as the influence of the support.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical approach to predicting surface segregation in bimetallic alloy nanoparticles by using the modified embedded atom method and Monte Carlo simulations is presented, which is relevant to heterogeneous catalysis, in particular for electrocatalysts of fuel cells.

TL;DR: In this paper, inelastic tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) was used for chemical analysis of a single molecule and manipulation of a molecule with controlled excitation of their vibration modes.

TL;DR: An overview of the surface chemistry of zirconium, focusing on the relationship of what is known from model studies and how this connects to current and future applications of Zr-based materials is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent work in the study of interfacial electronic states and electron-adsorbate interactions with time and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission (2PPE) spectroscopy is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the binding energies and lifetimes for inelastic decay depend in a straightforward way on the electron affinity of the rare gas and the layer thickness.

TL;DR: Using low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy and spectroscopy, this paper studied the dynamics of surface state electrons confined to vacancy islands on Ag(1 1/1 ) and localised at single magnetic and non-magnetic atoms adsorbed on Ag (1 2/1/1) and Cu(1 4/1 /1 ).

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron transfer, localization and solvation was analyzed by femtosecond time and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this article, cross-sectional Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (XSTM) is used for the structural characterization of dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor superlattices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of elastic electron backscattering on the measured probability of elastic scattering cross-sections has been studied and a Monte Carlo simulation scheme has been proposed to calculate the elastic and inelastic scattering cross sections, energy dependence of the elastic mean free path, and ionization cross sections.
