It has long been debated whether the results of classical surface science investigations
carried out under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) can be truly transferred to heterogeneous …

The interaction among adsorbed atoms and molecules (adspecies) on metal surfaces plays
a decisive role in catalytic reactions. Such interaction may cause structural changes of the …

As for metal surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum UHV or gas-phase environments, carbon
monoxide and nitric oxide constitute chemisorbates of particular significance in …

Pt is the most common catalyst for NO oxidation to NO2, a key reaction in NO x remediation
chemistry. In this work, density functional theory calculations and plane-wave supercell …

In this work, we report a density functional theory study of nitric oxide (NO) adsorption on
close-packed transition metal (TM) Rh (111), Ir (111), Pd (111) and Pt (111) surfaces in …

Vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy has been developed to a stage of
surface sensitivity that is comparable to the classical surface science methods. SFG has …

High-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature-programmed XPS
at BESSY II have been applied to investigate the adsorption and desorption of NO on a Pt …

The availability of reliable as well as straightforward means of preparing single-crystal metal
surfaces for electrochemical study, together with the emergence of optical spectroscopic and …

Ab initio total energy calculations using spin density functional theory with the generalised
gradient approximation have been performed for NO chemisorption on Pt {111} …

Abstract Infrared (IR)-visible (Vis) sum frequency generation (SFG) is a second-order
nonlinear optical process which is forbidden in centrosymmetric bulk media or isotropic …
