Electronic structure of pristine and sodium-doped cyano-substituted poly(2,5-dihexyloxy-p-phenylenevinylene): A combined experimental and theoretical study
The electronic structure of cyano-substituted poly(2,5-dihexyloxy-p-phenylene-vinylene), or CN-PPV, has been studied in both pristine and doped states. Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) and...

Surface phonons on Ru(001) observed by electron energy loss spectroscopy in the presence of ordered oxygen overlayers
We have investigated, using electron energy loss spectroscopy, the phonons on the Ru(001) surface that are rendered dipolar active in the specular direction by virtue of ordered p(2×2) and p(1&t...

Submonolayers of gold were evaporated onto a Pt(110) surface in order to study the influence of surface modification on the formation of spatiotemporal concentration patterns during catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide as imaged by means of photoemission electron microscopy (PEEM). Already the presence of 0.05 monolayers of uniformly distributed Au atoms affects markedly the kinetic parameters and thereby the properties of spatiotemporal patterns. The excitable regime is reached at lower CO pressures than with bare Pt(110), the width of the oxygen waves and the wavelength of spiral patterns decrease, the velocity of front propagation is reduced, and the density of nucleation centers for waves increases. The observed effects can be rationalized on the basis of the well-established underlying mechanism in terms of modification of the sticking coefficients for oxygen and carbon monoxide and of the diffusion coefficient for adsorbed CO. Additional effects such as penetration of waves into a monostable region, refraction, etc., come into play if waves pass the border between surface areas with differing chemical properties. ©1995 American Institute of Physics.
