The electrochem. promotion of RuO2 catalysts interfaced with yttria stabilized zirconia was studied for the combustion of ethylene. The complete oxidn. of ethylene can be described by an Eley-Rideal type mechanism. In situ work function measurements were u ...
GaAs/GaAlAs quantum wires grown by modulated flow rate metalorganic chemical vapour deposition were investigated by spatially resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy using a scanning near-field optical microscope. It was found that the wires decompose into ...
High-density arrays (5 x 10(6) cm(-1)) of parallel nanowires have been grown using the vicinal Pt(997) surface as a template. Single monatomic rows of Ag and Cu can be deposited with subrow precision. We demonstrate real-time monitoring and characterizatio ...
We report on a distance control system for low-temperature scanning near-field optical microscopy, based on quartz tuning fork as shear force sensor. By means of a particular tuning fork optical fiber configuration, the sensor is electrically dithered by a ...
We report on a novel approach to measure the phase relaxation length and femtosecond lifetime of hot quasiparticles on metal surfaces. A 4 K scanning tunneling microscope has been used to study the spatial decay of interference patterns in the local densit ...
We report a systematic study for metal-on-metal surface migration in the weak corrugation regime, i.e., with migration barriers falling below approximate to 100 meV. The migration characteristics are elucidated by variable-temperature scanning tunneling mi ...
Raman spectra of Y2O3 single crystal were recorded at room temperature in a diamond anvil cell up to a pressure of 22 GPa. Two phase transitions were detected at pressures of 12 and 19 GPa. The different phases were identified with the three structures exh ...
The ultrafast nonradiative relaxation processes after photon excitation at 266 nm of Hg2 trapped in a cryogenic Ar matrix were studied by mol. dynamics with quantum transitions. Fourteen electronic surfaces and their corresponding couplings are included in ...
The inexpensive fabrication of high-quality probes for nearfield optical applications is still unsolved although several methods for integrated fabrication have been proposed in the past. A further drawback is the intensity loss of the transmitted light in ...
The temperature-dependent damping of quantum-mechanical interference patterns from surface-state electrons scattering off steps on Ag(111) and Cu(111) has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy in the temperature range 3,5- ...
