We present a combined scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), noncontact atomic force microscopy (nc- AFM), and differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) study aiming at the characterization of the relationship between structural and…
We present a new open-loop implementation of Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) that provides access to the Fourier spectrum of the time-periodic surface electrostatic potential generated under optical (or electrical)…
We demonstrate a high electron conductivity (>100 S/cm and up to 1000 S/cm) of tungsten suboxide W(18)O(52.4-52.9) (or equivalently WO(2.91-2.94)) nanotubes (2-3 nm in diameter, ∼ µm long). The conductivity…
Fractional charges are one of the wonders of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Fractional excitations are also anticipated in two-dimensional crystals of non-interacting electrons under time-reversal symmetry, as bound states…
The water-forming reaction (WFR) between oxygen and hydrogen on metal surfaces is an important reaction in heterogeneous catalysis. Related research mostly focused on crystalline metal surfaces and thick films; however,…
