Theoretical aspects and evolution of surface diffusion studies are discussed with an
emphasis on non-metallic adsorbates at metal surfaces. A survey of the existing literature is …

General guidelines for correlating surface diffusion parameters have existed up to now only
in loose form and for specialized cases. Based on a survey of over 500 systems (the largest …

Understanding the energy it takes to build or break chemical bonds is essential for scientists

Interfaces are ubiquitous. They occur everywhere. They are the boundaries that separate
distinct physical and chemical regions of matter. The bulk materials on adjacent sides of the …

The present report deals with the main aspects of the interaction of hydrogen with the
atomically clean crystalline silicon surfaces and submonolayer metal/silicon interfaces. After …

The dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen on silicon is considered to be the
prototype for an activated chemical reaction at a semiconductor surface. The covalent nature …

Aqueous proton transport at interfaces is ubiquitous and crucial for a number of fields,
ranging from cellular transport and signalling, to catalysis and membrane science. However …
