The reactivity of gold and platinum metals in their cluster phase
Platinum surfaces are known to be among the most active ones for the oxidation of carbon monoxide, whereas gold surfaces are completely inert for this reaction. The question remains: Do small clusters of these...

Size-selected Agn and Cun clusters supported on MgO(100) films
Small Ag n (n≤13) and Cu n (n≤7) clusters, generated by sputtering with a new ultrahigh vacuum (UHV)-compatible Xe-ion gun and size-selected b...

Surface-state linewidth from scanning tunnelling spectroscopy
The STM can be used to investigate lifetimes of hot holes in a surface state at low temperatures. We analysed dI/dV data from Ag(111) using detailed tunnelling calculations and a simple model and found an electro...

Stability of two-dimensional nanostructures
We investigate atomic and molecular nanostructures on metal surfaces by variable low-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy. In combination with molecular dynamics calculations we achieve a detailed unders...

Size-dependent light emission from mass-selected clusters
The emission of photons in the visible wavelength range from mass-selected Ag+ n, Cu+ n, Pt+ n and Pd+ n ( ) clusters is observed. Photons are detected ...

Photoemission and scanning tunneling experiments with small particles on solid surfaces
The fascination of research with nanometersized objects in contact with a macroscopic surface will be illustrated by two examples: mass-selected supported transition-metal clusters and C60 molecules on metallic s...

Photon emission from adsorbed C60 molecules with sub-nanometer lateral resolution
We present the first experimental demonstration of spatially resolved photon emission of individual molecules on a surface. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) was used as a local electron source to excite p...

Internal structure of C60 fullerence molecules as revealed by low-temperature STM
We have performed Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) in ultra-high vacuum at low temperatures (5 and 50K) of unordered and ordered C60 layers adsorbed on a Au(110) surface. STM topographs of the frozen C60 molec...

Surface effects in Dy, DySb and DyTe observed by photoelectron spectroscopy
Cold condensed (100 K) Dy-films, as well as DySb and DyTe were studied by photoelectron spectroscopy using HeII and HeII* excitation sources. The spectra were analyzed using the relative intensities and energy sp...

Photoemission study of the electronic structure of size-selected transition metal clusters deposited on Ag(110)
We report on a photoemission study (XPS, UPS) of the evolution of the electronic structure with cluster size of Nin, Pdn, Ptn(n=1–15) mass-selected clusters deposited in submonolayer quantities on a Ag(110) singl...
