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 …

The adsorption of alkali metals on graphite has been the subject of various studies for the
past two decades. Briefly, two main reasons can be offered to justify the persisting interest in …

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are ideal adsorbents because of their porous structure,
ultra-large specific surface area, abundant active sites, and specific surface charge …

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles of both anatase and rutile phases were synthesized
by hydrothermal treatment of microemulsions, and their photocatalytic activity for wet …

The dynamics of cesium atom motion above the copper (111) surface following electronic
excitation with light was studied with femtosecond (10–15 seconds) time resolution. Unusual …

Mercury and the Moon both have tenuous atmospheres that contain atomic sodium and
potassium. These chemicals must be continuously resupplied, as neither body can retain the …

This paper begins with a brief survey of the literature dealing with the adsorption and
desorption of alkalis on oxide surfaces. Emphasis is on desorption phenomena: thermal …

Lasers are becoming increasingly important in surface science, both for the diagnostic
evaluation and the processing of surfaces, for example, higher harmonic generation for …

Electron dynamics induced by direct photoexcitation of the antibonding state on the Cs/Cu
(111) surface are studied by interferometric time-resolved two-photon photoemission …

We present a first-principles study of potassium atom adsorption on graphene and carbon
nanotubes. Our calculations are carried out using density functional theory combined with …
