The oxidation and corrosion of metals are fundamental problems in materials science and
technology that have been studied using a large variety of experimental and computational …

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 …

Using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation, we
investigate the interaction between atomic oxygen and Cu (100) and Cu (110) surfaces. We …

Surface oxidation of Cu (100) has been investigated by variable temperature scanning
tunneling microscopy and quantitative x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy as a function of O 2 …

Improving the oxidation resistance without sacrificing the electrical conductivity of Cu is of
great importance for researchers due to its widespread application. In this study, oxidation …

We report in situ atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy observations of the
oxidation of stepped Cu surfaces. We find that the presence of surface steps both inhibits …

Understanding of metal oxidation is critical to corrosion control, catalysis synthesis, and
advanced materials engineering. Although, metal oxidation process is rather complicated …

To obtain the C/C-ZrC composites with good mechanical properties, rapid prototyping and
low-cost preparation process, C/C-ZrC-SiC and C/C-ZrC-Cu composites were synthesized …

From an interplay between variable temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and density–
functional theory calculations, the evolution of oxygen chemisorption-induced surface …

Metal surface oxidation is governed by surface mass transport processes. Realistic surfaces
have many defects such as step edges, which often dictate the oxide growth dynamics and …
