Effects of increased surface area and chemisorbed H2O on the relative stability of nanocrystalline γ-Al2O3 and α-Al2O3

TLDR
Corundum, α-Al2O3, appears to be the thermodynamically stable phase of aluminum oxide at all common pressure and temperature conditions, but attempted syntheses of nanocrystalline Al 2O3 usually res...

A case study: surface chemistry and surface structure of catalytic aluminas, as studied by vibrational spectroscopy of adsorbed species

TL;DR: The main attention has been devoted to various aspects of the surface chemistry of aluminas, as revealed by the adsorption of selected probe molecules, rather than to a systematic description of the very many probe molecules used over the years.
