The influence of surface hydroxylation on nucleation and sintering of gold nanoparticles was studied by comparison of Au deposition and thermal sintering on ideally terminated MgO(001) and hydroxylated MgO thin films, respectively. A combination of different spectroscopic techniques (TDS, XPS, IRAS) allows to establish a correlation between the degree of surface hydroxylation and the stability ...

In this Letter the interaction of Li atoms with terrace sites of MgO(0 0 1) surfaces is characterized by combining EPR spectroscopy with theoretical calculations. The Li atoms adsorbed to MgO terrace sites show a reduction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant by approximately 50% with respect to Li atoms in the gas phase. In combination with theoretical calculations it can be shown that...

Low frequency noise has been measured in magnetic tunnel junctions with MgO barriers and magnetoresistance values up to 235%. The authors investigated the noise for different degrees of crystallization and CoFeB/MgO interface quality depending on the annealing temperature. The authors report an extremely low 1/ f noise, compared to magnetic junctions with Al2O3 barriers. The origin of the low f...

oxide nanoparticles can exhibit unique physical and chemical properties due to their limited size and a high density of corner or edge surface sites. in this study, mgo nanoparticle was synthesized using mg(ch3coo)2 and hexamethylenetetramine as starting materials. the structure and optical properties of these particles are investigated by using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron micros...

Ferroelectric BaTiO3/SrTiO3 with optimized c-axis-oriented multilayered thin films were epitaxially fabricated on (001) MgO substrates. The microstructural studies indicate that the in-plane interface relationships between the films as well as the substrate are determined to be (001)SrTiO3//(001)BaTiO3//(001)MgO and [100]SrTiO3//[100]BaTiO3//[100]MgO. The microwave (5 to 18 GHz) dielectric meas...

the reaction kinetics of the isomerization 3,4-dichlorobutene-1 to 1,4-dichlorobutene-2 was investigated by using gas-liquid chromatography method in the presence of fe2o3/mgo as solid catalyst in the temperature range 25-55°c. fe2o3/mgo has been prepared by the support saturation method, tested in the isomerization of 3, 4-dichlorobutene-1 into 1, 4-dichlorobutene-2. this catalyst shows a high...

A thiol-functionalized magnetite/graphene oxide (MGO) hybrid as an adsorbent of Hg2+ was successfully synthesized by a two-step reaction. It exhibited a higher adsorption capacity compared to the bare graphene oxide and MGO due to the combined adsorption of thiol groups and magnetite nanocrystals. Its capacity reached 289.9 mg g-1 in a solution with an initial Hg2+ concentration of 100 mg l-1. ...

The coadsorption of D2O and Na on the MgO~100!/Mo~100! surface has been studied by metastable impact electron spectroscopy and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy ~He I!. The initial layer of D2O adsorbed on the MgO~100! surface at 100 K ‘‘wets’’ the surface. For multilayer adsorption, the outermost water molecules exhibit an electronic structure which is very similar to gas phase water. Na ...
