The interface between LaAlO3 and SrTiO3 possesses a range of intriguing properties,
notably a proposed connection between the surface state of the LaAlO3 and the conductivity …

Exposure of the mixed-terminated ZnO (10 1¯ 0) surface to atomic hydrogen at room
temperature is found to lead to drastic changes of the electrical properties. The insulator …

Efficient catalytic hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines with molecular hydrogen at room
temperature is still a challenge. In this study, this transformation was achieved by using a …

Upon deposition of silicon onto the (110) surface of a silver crystal we have grown massively
parallel one-dimensional Si nanowires. They are imaged in scanning tunnelling microscopy …

A major problem with most of the present nuclear reactors is their safety in terms of the
release of radioactivity into the environment during accidents. In some of the future nuclear …

SiC nanocrystals (NCs) exhibit unique surface chemistry and possess special properties.
This provides the opportunity to design suitable surface structures by terminating the surface …
