Volcano plots and scaling relations are commonly used to design catalysts and understand
catalytic behavior. These plots are a useful tool due to their robust and simple analysis of …

Electron excitations in metal systems play an important role in many chemical and physical
phenomena. They are of paramount importance for energy transfer in photochemical …

Crystal growth far from thermodynamic equilibrium is nothing but homoepitaxy-thin film
growth on a crystalline substrate of the same material. Because of the absence of misfit …

A quantitative study of the long-range interaction between single copper adatoms on Cu
(111) mediated by the electrons in the two-dimensional surface-state band is presented. The …

We report on long-range interactions between adsorbates on metal surfaces with a surface
state. A comparison of three adsorbate/substrate systems [Cu/Cu (111), Co/Cu (111), and …

Cerium adatoms, deposited on a Ag (111) surface, are found by low-temperature scanning
tunneling microscopy to self-assemble into large ordered hexagonal arrays covering …

This review aims at giving the readers the basic concepts needed to understand two-
dimensional bimolecular organizations at the vacuum–solid interface. The first part …

The adsorption of a molecular electron donor on Au (111) is characterized by the
spontaneous formation of a superlattice of monomers spaced several nanometers apart. The …

Atoms and molecules adsorbed on metals affect each other indirectly even over
considerable distances. Via systematic density-functional calculations, we establish the …

A combined low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory
study on the binding and diffusion of copper monomers, dimers, and trimers adsorbed on Cu …
