Surface phonons propagating in arbitrary directions in the surface of FCC metals are studied via vibrational Green's functions obtained through the definition of transfer matrices. The dynamical matrix is described in the ...

Controlling the metalation of surface porphyrins is a critical process in porphyrin-based devices. Indeed, surface porphyrins are known to metalate in ultrahigh vacuum from codeposited metal atoms or substrate atoms; ...

There is special interest in the incorporation of metallic nanoparticles in a surrounding dielectric matrix for obtaining composites with desirable characteristics such as for surface plasmon resonance, which can be used ...

The calculation of the surface-induced enhancement of the binding energy of hydrogen impurities in transition metals, previously reported for close-packed surfaces, are extended to open surfaces in the fcc and bcc structures. ...

The present work investigates the number and nature of the surface active sites and the catalytic activity of bulk metal molybdates and bulk metal oxides on methanol selective oxidation. Bulk metal molybdates were synthesized ...

Electron emission from metal surfaces produced by short laser pulses is studied within the framework of the distorted-wave formulation. The proposed approach, named surface-Volkov (SV)approximation, makes use of  the ...

A significant increase of surface hydrophilicity of copper and gold surfaces was obtained after atmospheric pressure plasma treatment using the surface dielectric barrier discharge with specific electrode geometry, the ...

We study the time-dependent induced potentials at the convoy electron position due to the self-interaction with a metal surface and to the shock wave created by the positive hole (vacancy) left. The time evolution of these ...

The potential energy surfaces of molecular water on the Al{111} and on theRh{111} metal surfaces have been investigated using density functional theory. Similarlandscapes were found on both surfaces. In the only minimum ...
