Investigation of structural and electronic properties of small Au n Cu m (n+m≤5) nano-clusters for Oxygen adsorption
In this study, the structures, the IR spectroscopy, and the electronic properties of AunCum (n+m≤5) bimetallic clusters were studied and compared with those of pure gold and copper clusters using the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and exchange correlation density functional theory (DFT). The study of an O2-AunCum system is important to identify the promotion effects of each of the two...

متن کاملTwo-dimensional metal-organic networks as templates for the self-assembly of atom and cluster arrays
This thesis presents a study of the use of two-dimensional metal-organic systems as templates for the organization of metal atoms and clusters on surfaces. We start with a systematic characterization of the metal-organic porous networks formed on Cu(111) by polyphenyl-dicarbonitrile molecules, and of the temperature dependence of the assembly process, leading to a variety of geometrical structu...
متن کاملAtom Probe Studies of Nanocrystallization of Amorphous Alloys
The nanocrystallization processes in Fe-Si-B-Nb-Cu and Fe-Nd-B(-Cu-Nb) amorphous alloys have been studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a three dimensional atom probe (3DAP). Cu additions are effective in refining the nanocrystalline microstructures of an Fe74.5Si13.5B8Nb3Cu1 alloy and an Fe3B/Nd2Fe14B nanocomposite microstructure. This is because Cu atoms form a high density of...
متن کاملMagnetism of Ho and Er atoms on close-packed metal surfaces.
We investigated the magnetic properties of individual Ho atoms adsorbed on the (111) surface of Pt, which have been recently claimed to display single ion magnetic behavior. By combining x-ray absorption spectroscopy and magnetic dichroism measurements with ligand field multiplet calculations, we reveal a ground state which is incompatible with long spin relaxation times, in disagreement with f...
