TL;DR: In this paper, the structural, electronic and chemisorptive properties of ultrathin metal films on clean and well-defined oxide surfaces have been characterized using a variety of surface science techniques.

TL;DR: The role of surface stress at solid surfaces in a vacuum environment and in contact with a liquid electrolyte in reconstruction, epitaxial growth and self-organization or stabilization of mesoscopic structures is critically reviewed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review applications of the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) technique in the investigations of electronic and structural properties of transition metal compounds.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical properties of porous silicon are discussed in a wide spectral range from the infrared to the ultraviolet and the analysis is done by a simulation method which adjusts parameters of dielectric function models to fit experimentally obtained reflectance spectra.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main aspects of the interaction of slow (impact velocity typically below 1 a.u.) multicharged ions (MCI) with atomically clean solid surfaces of metals, semiconductors and insulators are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the current understanding of Langmuir-blodgett (LB) films from a physical/structural point of view, including discussions of the deposition process, the layered nature of LB films, intralayer molecular packing, defects, stability, and phase transitions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the evolution of the NO-CO reaction on rh and present the data for the elementary reaction steps, obtained primarily on Rh(1 1 1) at UHV conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors summarized the methods to prepare (palladium deposition, diffusion, density gradient method, gas diffusion technique, radio frequency plasma and corona discharge, poly(vinylene carbonate) hydrolysis) and characterize gradient surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photoelectrons emitted from or the light reflected off the surface are measured, and the main emphasis is on pattern formation of surface reactions under strictly controlled parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main concepts for chemisorptive particle emission are reviewed, as is its application for the recording of reaction kinetics and finally the information that it can provide on the dynamics of charge-transfer reactions at surfaces is examined.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the determination of the local magnetic moments distribution at the surface of transition metals, for very thin transition metal films and nanostructures on noble and transition-metal substrates at T = 0 K.

TL;DR: In this article, the escape depth of secondary ions desorbing from solid surfaces under the impact of electrons, photons or ions is reviewed, but most are wide band gap insulators such as rare-gas solids and molecular solids.

TL;DR: In this paper, different approaches employed to study the long-wave limit in these systems, including other approaches in which the envelope function model is derived directly from microscopic lattice dynamics.
