In this paper the structure and phase behavior of anion adlayers at the metal-electrolyte
interface and their influence on the metal substrate structure and on electrochemical …

Friction is one of the oldest problems in physics with a huge practical significance. However,
during the last decade this problem gets strong acceleration due to the development of new …

The recent availability of shale gas has led to a renewed interest in C–H bond activation as
the first step towards the synthesis of fuels and fine chemicals. Heterogeneous catalysts …

The γ-phase of copper (I) iodide (γ-CuI) is a p-type semiconductor with a wide bandgap (E
g≈ 3.1 eV). Conventionally, γ-CuI thin films have been synthesized by the iodination of Cu …

The adsorption of halides on Cu (111) and Pt (111) has been studied using periodic density
functional theory calculations. The equilibrium coverage of the halides as a function of the …

This paper presents a review of the experimental and theoretical investigations of halogen
interaction with metal surfaces. The emphasis was placed on the recent measurements …

We review electronic substrate-mediated interactions (SMIs), which stem from adsorption-
induced perturbations of substrate surface electronic states. We examine the experimental …

Surfactants play a variety of critical roles in tribology. In addition to controlling friction and
wear, they also allow for control of a wide range of properties of lubricants, such as …

The growth of highly oriented (110) γ-CuI films on copper substrates with the best
photoluminescence properties among all known CuI films are demonstrated, in the context …

Iodine adsorption on metal surfaces has been extensively studied, but iodine's effect on
modulating the self-assembly structures of organic molecules has been less discussed …
