Multidimensional local mode calculations are performed for OH stretching vibrations of the gas phase OH−(H2O)2 and OH−(H2O)2·Ar clusters in the 1000–4000 cm−1 energy range. The potential energies and...
View ArticlePropagation of Nanopores during Anodic Etching of n-InP in KOH
We propose a three-step model of electrochemical nanopore formation in n-InP in KOH that explains how crystallographically oriented etching can occur even though the rate-determining process (hole...
View ArticleAdsorption of the organic salt TAB(HCl)4 on Cu(111) studied by STM and XPS
Sublimation of Tetra-Amino Benzene (TAB) in its tetrahydrochlorinated form onto Cu(111) leads to formation of long range ordered structures consisting of TAB molecules with partially protonated amino...
