    Laser-Assisted Photoelectric Effect on Pt(111)

    We observe the laser-assisted photoelectric effect on a surface for the first time. Simultaneously illuminating Pt(111) with the fundamental and 27th harmonic of a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser results in ener...

    Effect of Coadsorbed Water on Deep Oxidation Mechanisms: Temperature-Programmed Reactions of Benzene and Hydroxyl on the Pt(111) Surface

    The deep oxidation of benzene by preadsorbed hydroxyl on the Pt(111) surface has been characterized using temperature-programmed reaction spectroscopy. A mechanism for benzene oxidation in the presence of coad...

    Stoichiometric hydrogenation of ethene on Rh(111); mechanism, importance of weakly adsorbed ethene, and relationship to homogeneous catalysis

    The hydrogenation of ethene is an important reaction in heterogeneous catalysis and, despite its apparent simplicity, many aspects of the reaction mechanism remain unclear. By contrast, the mechanism using hom...
