Water adsorption on a model silicate surface: wollastonite (100)
Luca Lezuo, Andrea Conti, Alexander Hoheneder +7
Water adsorption on silicate surfaces is a critical yet poorly understood process relevant to, e.g., mineral weathering and cement hydration. This study investigates the structure…
The Unreconstructed α-AlO(0001) Surface is Inhomogeneous and Rough
Johanna I. Hütner-Reisch, Andrea Conti, David Kugler +4
Alumina (AlO) is a key material for thin-film growth and heterogeneous catalysis, where the atomic surface structure critically impacts performance. Using noncontact at…
Stoichiometric reconstruction of the AlO(0001) surface
Johanna I. Hütner, Andrea Conti, David Kugler +5
Macroscopic properties of materials stem from fundamental atomic-scale details, yet for insulators, resolving surface structures remains a challenge. The basal (0001) plane of -…
NH adsorption and competition with HO on a hydroxylated aluminosilicate surface
Giada Franceschi, Andrea Conti, Luca Lezuo +4
The interaction between ammonia (NH) and (alumino)silicates is of fundamental and applied importance, yet the specifics of NH adsorption on silicate surfaces remain largely…
How water binds to microcline feldspar (001)
Giada Franceschi, Andrea Conti, Luca Lezuo +4
Microcline feldspar (KAlSiO) is a common mineral with important roles for Earth's ecological balance. It participates in the carbon, potassium, and water cycles, contributi…
Resolving the intrinsic short-range ordering of K ions on cleaved muscovite mica
Giada Franceschi, Pavel Kocán, Andrea Conti +8
Muscovite mica, KAl(SiAl)O(OH), is a common layered phyllosilicate with perfect cleavage planes. The atomically flat surfaces obtained through cleaving lend them…
First principles studies of the electronic and structural properties of the rutile VO(110) surface and its oxygen-rich terminations
Jakub Planer, Florian Mittendorfer, Josef Redinger
We present a Density Functional Theory (DFT) study of the structural and electronic properties of bare rutile VO(110) surfaces and its oxygen-rich terminations. We discuss th…
An oxygen-rich, tetrahedral surface phase on high-temperature rutile VO(110) single crystals
Margareta Wagner, Jakub Planer, Bettina S. J. Heller +9
Vanadium dioxide undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) from an insulating (monoclinic) to a metallic (tetragonal) phase close to room temperature, which makes it a promising…
Monatomic Co, CoO, and CoO Nanowires on Ir(100) and Pt(100) surfaces: Formation, Structure, and Energetics
P. Ferstl, F. Mittendorfer, J. Redinger +2
In this study we investigate the structural and chemical changes of monatomic CoO chains grown self-organized on the Ir(100) surface [P. Ferstl et al., PRL 117, 2016, 046101] a…
Adsorption of CO on the Ca3Ru2O7(001) surface
Wernfried Mayr-Schmölzer, Daniel Halwidl, Florian Mittendorfer +3
The adsorption of CO molecules at the Ca3Ru2O7(001) surface was studied using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Ca3Ru2O7 can…
Adsorption of a superoxo O2- species on the pure an Ca doped Sr3Ru2O7(001) surface
Wernfried Mayr-Schmölzer, Florian Mittendorfer, Josef Redinger
Only recently, the activation of oxygen molecules on clean defect-free transition metal oxide surfaces has been reported, for example on the CaO-terminated surface of the Ruddelsde…
Adsorption of water at the SrO surface of ruthenates
Daniel Halwidl, Bernhard Stöger, Wernfried Mayr-Schmölzer +9
Although perovskite oxides hold promise in applications ranging from solid oxide fuel cells to catalysts, their surface chemistry is poorly understood at the molecular level. Here…
High chemical activity of a perovskite surface: reaction of CO with SrRuO
Bernhard Stöger, Marcel Hieckel, Florian Mittendorfer +7
Adsorption of CO at the SrRuO(001) surface was studied with low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory. In situ cleaved single cr…
