The current status of knowledge regarding the surfaces of the iron oxides, magnetite (Fe 3 O
4), maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3), haematite (α-Fe 2 O 3), and wüstite (Fe 1− x O) is reviewed. The …

As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

First-principle calculations, especially by the density functional theory (DFT), is used to study
the structure and properties of oxygen/metal interfaces. Adsorption of oxygen molecules or …

High-concentration formaldehyde-based wastewater causes a serious hazard to the human
body and ecosystem. Electro-Fenton technology can be used for the pre-treatment of high …

We investigated surface properties of metals by performing first-principles calculations. A
systematic database was established for the surface relaxation, surface energy (γ), and …

The room temperature studies of polycrystalline iron exposed to air at various temperatures
were performed using: the transmission Mössbauer spectroscopy (TMS), the conversion …

Corrosion of steel bar is a major problem influencing the long-term performance of
reinforced concrete structures. It is known that both oxygen and water involve in the initiation …

Abstract The effects of Ni, Cr, Mn and Mo on the very earliest stages of repassivation of
stainless steels are quantified using the Chloride Susceptibility Index (CSI), which is an ab …

We performed density functional theory calculations of an oxygen adsorption on a Fe (110)
surface to examine structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of O/Fe (110) systems …

The chemisorption of single carbon and oxygen atoms on an iron surface with a Σ3 (111)
grain boundary has been studied by means of first principles modeling. It is shown that …
