Open AccessSubtle Nanostructuring of the Au/Ru(0001) Surface
We report on a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of the nanostructuring of the Au/Ru(0001) thin film system for the cases of 5 monolayers (ML) and 9 ML of Au deposited at 300 K and subsequently anneale...

Open AccessThe Nanostructuring of Atomically Flat Ru(0001) upon Oxidation and Reduction
The O/Ru(0001) system is widely studied due to its rich phase variety of various stoichiometry and atomic arrangements, including the formation of a RuO2/Ru(0001) oxide layer. Apart from homogeneous ruthenium sur...

Identification of RuO2 as the active phase in CO oxidation on oxygen-rich ruthenium surfaces
CO oxidation over ruthenium dioxide (RuO2) dominates the CO/CO2 conversion rate over the catalytically active oxygen-rich Ru(0001) surfaces. In sharp contrast, chemisorbed O overlayers on Ru(0001) (with and witho...
