Interaction of surface cations of cleaved mica with water in vapor and liquid forms
Giada Franceschi, Sebastian Brandstetter, Jan Balajka +5
Natural minerals contain ions that become hydrated when they come into contact with water in vapor and liquid forms. Muscovite mica -- a common phyllosilicate with perfect cleavage…
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…
Reconstruction changes drive surface diffusion and determine the flatness of oxide surfaces
Giada Franceschi, Michael Schmid, Ulrike Diebold +1
Surface diffusion on metal oxides is key in many areas of materials technology, yet it has been scarcely explored at the atomic scale. This work provides phenomenological insights…
The effect of different InO(111) surface terminations on CO adsorption
Sabrina M. Gericke, Minttu M. Kauppinen, Margareta Wagner +15
InO-based catalysts have shown high activity and selectivity for CO hydrogenation to methanol, however the origin of the high performance of InO is still unclea…
Water Structures Reveal Local Hydrophobicity on the In2O3(111) Surface
Hao Chen, Matthias A. Blatnik, Christian L. Ritterhoff +9
Clean oxide surfaces are generally hydrophilic. Water molecules anchor at undercoordinated surface metal atoms that act as Lewis-acid sites, and they are stabilized by H bonds to u…
Real-space investigation of polarons in hematite Fe2O3
Jesus Redondo, Michele Reticcioli, Vit Gabriel +17
In polarizable materials, electronic charge carriers interact with the surrounding ions, leading to quasiparticle behaviour. The resulting polarons play a central role in many mate…
