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 …
