Reaction of Aqueous Polyoxometalates With Silver and Gold Surfaces
… of the Preyssler anion, NaP5W30O110 14-, with Ag(111) show that a surface phase is formed. Immersion of Au(111) in the same solutions yielded STM images that did not show evidence of a surface phase. By using a mixture of alpha-PVW11O40 4- and NaP5W30O110 14- in acidic aqueous solution, the …

Self-assembly of amino acids on noble metal surfaces : morphological, chemical and electronic control of matter at the nanoscale
… and tyrosine amino acids on the monocrystalline Ag(111) and Cu(111) surfaces are characterized by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS), helium atom scattering (HAS), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) in …

Temperature-dependent structures of heteroepitaxial metallo-phthalocyanine (Mpc, M = Cu, Fe) thin films on silver.
… (MPcs, M = Cu, Fe) thin films were formed on Ag(111) surface by vapor deposition in ultra high vacuum (UHV). The morphology and structure of the MPcs were studied by scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Submonolayer (sub-ML) MPcs deposited at room temperature (RT) without subsequent annealing …

Supramolecular organisation, conformation and electronic properties of porphyrin molecules on metal substrates
… interactions of tetrapyrdil porphyrin (TPyP) on Ag(111) and Cu(111) were investigated. TPyP self-assembles on Ag(111) over a wide sample temperature range into large, highly-ordered 2D chiral domains. By contrast, adsorption of TPyP on the more reactive Cu(111) leads to temperature dependent …

Interrogating the Electrochemical Interface Using Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy
… on the adsorption and orientation of PABA at a Ag(111) surface. The data indicates that PABA changes orientation in response to the charge on the electrode surface, orienting one way positive of the potential of zero charge (pzc) and oppositely negative of the pzc. At positive potentials a phase …

Photoemission Studies of Thin Metallic Overlayer Systems
… photoemission spectroscopy was used to study Ag(111) monolayers on six different substrates: Ni(001), Ni(111), Cu(001), Cu(111), Au(111), and Si(111)-(7x7). The properties of surface states were also examined for several related systems: Cu(111) covered by various thicknesses of Ag, and a bare …

Nanoscale modeling of materials: post deposition morphological evolution of fcc metal surfaces
… In this scenario, the descent of adatoms from Ag islands on Ag(111) surface is examined. It shows an exchange mechanism to dominate over hopping and the process to favor the formation of (100)-microfacetted steps (A-type) over the (111)-microfacetted ones (B-type). Molecular dynamics …
