Cluster core-level binding-energy shifts: the role of lattice strain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our combined experimental and theoretical analysis of the shifts, with particle size, of core-level binding energies (BE's) of metal nanoparticles on insulating supports, shows that these shifts have an important initial state contribution arising, in large part, because of lattice strain. This contribution of BE shifts has not been recognized previously. Lattice strain changes the chemical bonding between the metal atoms and this change induces BE shifts.

متن کاملTight- binding study of electronic band structure of anisotropic honeycomb lattice
The two-dimensional structure of graphene, consisting of an isotropic hexagonal lattice of carbon atoms, shows fascinating electronic properties, such as a gapless energy band and Dirac fermion behavior of electrons at fermi surface. Anisotropy can be induced in this structure by electrochemical pressure. In this article, by using tight-binding method, we review anisotropy effects in the elect...
متن کاملThermally induced core-electron binding-energy shifts in transition metals: An experimental investigation of Ta(100).
High-resolution photoemission spectra from the 4 f 7/2 levels of Ta~100! have been obtained between 77 K and room temperature. The data show an increase in both the surface and bulk core-level binding energies ~BE’s! as the temperature is raised: between 77 and 293 K the bulk and surface BE’s increase by 3163 and 1362 meV, respectively. A model calculation of the bulk binding-energy increase, w...

Colonization of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) in nasopharynx causes respiratory tract disease. In 80% of clinical isolates, HMW proteins are the major adhesions and induce protective antibodies in the hosts. Therefore, it can be used as a vaccine candidate. The aim of this study is designing and cloning of the conserved regions of NTHi hmw1 core binding domain.In this study, the sta...
