Open AccessPorphyrin Layers at Cu/Au(111)–Electrolyte Interfaces: In Situ EC-STM Study
The coadsorption of porphyrin molecules (TMPyP: tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-porphyrin), sulfate anions and copper on a Au(111) electrode was investigated by the use of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and in situ electroche...

AFM and SEM of Wax Crystallisation on Artificial Surfaces Controlled by Temperature and Solvents
Plant surfaces show a great variety of functional structures between micro- to nano-dimensions. Epicuticular wax crystals are very frequent and cause extreme water repellence and are responsible for the self-c...

Copper dissolution in the presence of a binary 2D-compound: CuI on Cu(100)
Exposing a Cu(100) electrode surface to an acidic and iodide containing electrolyte (5 mM H2SO4/1 mM KI) leads to the formation of an electro-compressible/electro-decompressible c(p × 2)-I adsorbate layer at pote...

Structural analysis of wheat wax (Triticum aestivum, c.v. ‘Naturastar’ L.): from the molecular level to three dimensional crystals
In order to elucidate the self assembly process of plant epicuticular waxes, and the molecular arrangement within the crystals, re-crystallisation of wax platelets was studied on biological and non-biological ...

Studies of Alloy Surfaces by Low-Energy Ion Scattering
Low energy ion scattering (LEIS) techniques have been used to study the initial interaction of oxygen with Ni3Al(100) and Ni3Al(110), and the structure of Cu/Ru(0001). Dosing Ni3Al(100) and Ni3Al(110) surfaces wi...

Metal-on-Metal Heteroepitaxy and the Influence of a Surfactant: Cu/O/Ru(0001)
Cu-on-Ru(OOOl) has been a suitable model system for metal-on-metal heteroepitaxy for many years because of the immiscibility of the two components. In contrast to most ex-situ studies the present work emphasizes ...

Long and short range effect of alkali promoters on metal surfaces: K on Rh(111)
Photoemission of physisorbed noble gases has been used to investigate the variation of the surface potential on a potassium-promoted rhodium (111) surface. The results confirm that the predominant effect of po...

Structure and Electronic Properties of Metal Surfaces
Due to the asymmetric environment of surface atoms and, hence, the existence of unsaturated, “dangling” bonds at crystal surfaces the properties at the surface are different in almost every respect from those ...
