Step and kink sites at Pt surfaces have crucial importance in catalysis. We employ a high
dimensional neural network potential (HDNNP) trained using first-principles calculations to …

CO adlayers on Pt (111) electrode surfaces are an important electrochemical system and of
great relevance to electrocatalysis. The potential‐dependent structure and dynamics of …

In this paper, the reconstruction of Pt films deposited on stepped Au (hkl) surfaces belonging
to the [n (111)×(110)] family of planes has been studied. Pt films were deposited using the …

The diffusion behaviors of single Au, Ag and Cu atoms on Si (111)-(7× 7) half unit cells have
been investigated via combining scanning tunneling microscopy and first-principles …

The electro-oxidation of CO adlayer on Pt electrode in Cl−-containing 0.1 M HClO4 has
been investigated with in situ attenuated-total-reflection surface-enhanced infrared …

Nanoparticles are used heavily in several fields such as catalysis, solid oxide fuel cells,
biomedical applications, sensing technologies. Due to high surface-to-volume ratio …

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is not only an excellent tool for the study of static
geometric structures and electronic structures of surfaces due to its high spatial and energy …

In this thesis I present a novel surface science apparatus and new methods to measure and
analyze reaction kinetics at surfaces. By combining crossed-beam surface scattering with …
