Alloying has long been used as a promising methodology to improve the catalytic
performance of metallic materials. In recent years, the field of alloy catalysis has made …

Chirality is a basic property of nature and has great importance in photonics, biochemistry,
medicine, and catalysis. This importance has led to the emergence of the chiral inorganic …

Chirality depends on particular symmetries. For crystal structures it describes the absence of
mirror planes and inversion centers, and in addition to translations, only rotations are …

With the adsorption of larger molecules being increasingly tackled by surface scientists, the
aspect of chirality often plays a role. This paper gives a topical review of molecular chirality …

In the present review we survey the main advances made in recent years on the
understanding of chemical chirality at solid surfaces. Chirality is an important topic, made …

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) has drawn much attention, as it stabilizes
magnetic chirality, with important implications in fundamental and applied research. This …

Chiral surfaces are critical components of enantioselective heterogeneous processes such
as those used to prepare enantiomerically pure pharmaceuticals. While the majority of chiral …

The rapid development of materials science now enables tailoring of metal and metal oxide
particles with tunable size and shape at the nanometre level. As a result, nanocatalysis is …

Chiral surfaces serve as media for enantioselective chemical processes. Their chirality is
dictated by atomic-and molecular-level structure, and their enantioselectivity is determined …

A valuable learning tool as well as a reference, this book provides students and researchers
in surface science and nanoscience with the theoretical crystallographic foundations, which …
