Optical reflectance anisotropy of buried Fe nanostructures on vicinal W(110).
The optical anisotropy of Au protected Fe layers grown on a vicinal W(110) surface has been investigated using reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS). Iron nanostripes formed at submonolayer coverage, as well as Fe layers up to 3 ML coverage, were protected by 12 and 16 nm gold caps and measured ex situ under ambient conditions. The RAS is dominated by structures originating in the interfaci...
متن کاملPotential of vis-NIR reflectance spectroscopy for the mineralogical characterization of synthetic gleys: a preliminary investigation
An investigation was carried out aiming at assessing the potential of vis-NIR reflectance spectroscopy, through comparison with the conventional X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) technique, for the characterization of synthetic gleys, obtained in laboratory starting from Fe0 and Fe2+ under different conditions of initial pH (5.5, 7.0 and 8.5). XRPD analysis showed that in any case goethite formed...
متن کاملOptical recognition of atomic steps on surfaces.
Visible and UV light spectra display striking differences in optical reflectivity for the two types of monatomic steps on copper (111) surfaces. Electronic structure calculations trace these differences to the specific contributions of p(axially) and p(radially) local densities of states, parallel and perpendicular to the steps, of the distinctly coordinated corner atoms. The local origin of th...
متن کاملStructure and optical properties of reconstructed Si and Ge surfaces
When a crystal is cut in a specific direction the surface of the system differs from the bulk as the forces on the bulk atoms are not similar to those on surface atoms. This is called surface reconstruction. When these systems are energetically relaxed, sometimes they form special ordered structures such as one dimensional atomic chains or rows of dimers etc. due to surface reconstruction. Syst...
متن کاملAcetic Acid Ketonization over Fe3O4/SiO2 for Pyrolysis Bio‐Oil Upgrading
A family of silica-supported, magnetite nanoparticle catalysts was synthesised and investigated for continuous-flow acetic acid ketonisation as a model pyrolysis bio-oil upgrading reaction. The physico-chemical properties of Fe3O4/SiO2 catalysts were characterised by using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy, diffuse...
