Titanium and titanium alloys exhibit a unique combination of strength and biocompatibility,
which enables their use in medical applications and accounts for their extensive use as …

The field of photocatalysis can be traced back more than 80 years to early observations of
the chalking of titania-based paints and to studies of the darkening of metal oxides in contact …

First-principles simulation, meaning density-functional theory calculations with plane waves
and pseudopotentials, has become a prized technique in condensed-matter theory. Here I …

Titanium dioxide is the most investigated single-crystalline system in the surface science of
metal oxides, and the literature on rutile (110),(100),(001), and anatase surfaces is …

The study of tin oxide is motivated by its applications as a solid state gas sensor material,
oxidation catalyst, and transparent conductor. This review describes the physical and …

Water is perhaps the most important and most pervasive chemical on our planet. The
influence of water permeates virtually all areas of biochemical, chemical and physical …

During the past decade, interest in chemical reactions occurring at metal oxide-aqueous
solution interfaces has increased significantly because of their importance in a variety of …

Gas sensors based on semiconducting materials have become of great interest to both
sensor users and researchers. In this context, a huge number of publications have appeared …

Understanding water/solid interactions is of great importance in a variety of fundamental and
technological processes, such as photocatalytic water splitting, heterogeneous catalysis …

This review paper discusses the influence of morphology and crystallographic structure on
gas-sensing characteristics of metal oxide conductometric-type sensors. The effects of …
