Studies on Electrode Surfaces Using Ultrahigh Vacuum-Electrochemistry Combined System

Electrochemistry combined on-line with atomic mass spectrometry and related techniques for trace-metal analysis and electrode-reaction studies

Electrochemistry (EC) combined on-line with atomic mass spectrometry (MS) and related techniques (e.g., inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry, ICP–AES) affords an avenue for analysis of metals present at ultratrace levels and the effective elimination of matrix effects detrimental to atomic MS and spectrometric techniques. In addition, electrode reactions involving inorganic s...

Friction force microscopy investigations of potassium halide surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum: structure, friction and surface modification

Friction force microscopy measurements on the vacuum-cleaved (001) surfaces of KF, KCl and KBr have been carried out. All surfaces exhibit atomically flat terraces with monatomic steps aligned preferentially along low-index lattice directions. Stick-slip lateral forces with the lattice periodicity are observed on all surfaces. Tip-sample contact creates higher friction domains on the terraces o...
