Summary: A class of planar NbnOm atomic clusters, synthesized by evaporating metallic Nb onto an Au(111) substrate in an ultrahigh vacuum environment and subsequent oxidation at elevated temperatures, have been reported. The clusters are composed of structural units with four-, five-, and sixfold rotational symmetry and can assemble to form larger planar clusters. The interaction with the Au substrate significantly alters the atomic and electronic structures of the oxide clusters, including interfacial charge transfer and structural relaxation, enabling the coexistence of a large variety of cluster configurations.

Summary: On-surface synthesis with designer precursor molecules is an effective method for preparing graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) with tunable electronic properties. The band gap of GNRs doped with heteroatoms remains unchanged, but hydrogenation can engineer a tunable band gap. Surface-confined hydrogenation studies on 7-armchair GNRs grown on Au(111) surfaces reveal a self-limited hydrogenation process. The electronic properties of the GNR/Au(111) system can be modified by edge and basal-plane hydrogenation, and a mechanism for the hydrogenation process is proposed.

Summary: This study focuses on utilizing highly ordered titanium oxide films on an alloy surface for controlled immobilization and electronic manipulation of nanoscopic W3O9 clusters. Two stable oxide phases z'-TiOx and w'-TiOx were produced under different operating conditions, affecting the adsorption characteristics and reactivity of W3O9 clusters. The research also demonstrates the reduction of individual W3O9 units to W3O8 and the growth of large WO3 islands limited to a maximum of two unit cells under specific conditions.

Summary: This study demonstrates the formation of emergent correlated phases in multilayer rhombohedral graphene without the need for twisted van der Waals layers. The study shows that two layers of bilayer graphene twisted by a tiny angle can host large regions of uniform rhombohedral four-layer graphene with a sharp van Hove singularity. Furthermore, the study suggests that the broken symmetry state in ABCA graphene could be attributed to a charge-transfer excitonic insulator or a ferrimagnet.

Summary: Interfacing graphene with ultrathin oxide films is crucial for its integration in novel electronic devices. A new method of obtaining high-quality graphene/Cr oxide interfaces is demonstrated by inserting a Cr carbide film between graphene and a Ni(1 1 1) substrate, which triggers the formation of a continuous and atomically flat Cr oxide wetting layer on top of graphene. These well-defined junctions could be used to finely control the electrical conductivity of graphene through an insulating oxide gate.

The results show that a-BPNTs and z-BPNTs have good Li-storage capacities, with z-BPNTs exhibiting better flexibility. The curvature of BPNTs affects both the mechanical stability and Li-migration. Furthermore, both a-BPNTs and z-BPNTs demonstrate fast Li-ion conductivity along the c-axis direction.

Summary: Proper modeling is crucial for calculating surface properties of complex oxides, such as perovskite oxides. A passivation method was proposed to handle complex polar surfaces, using pseudo-atoms with fractional charges to balance non-zero net charges. The study on LaCoO3 surfaces with different terminations showed that (1 (1) over bar 02)-LaO, (1 (1) over bar 02)-CoO2, and (0001)-LaO3 terminations were stable surfaces in different chemical environments. The passivated terminations also showed consistent oxygen vacancy formation energies and electronic structure changes with experimental results.

Summary: By using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), we observed the Kondo effect driven by 5 f electrons and subatomic features of single U atoms on graphene/6H-SiC(0001), Cu2N/Cu(100), and Bi(110). The asymmetric-dip spectral feature around the Fermi energy, as an indication of Kondo resonance in STM/STS, was observed in all three systems. The size of the screening cloud for single U atoms on Bi(110) was larger than that on the other two substrates, suggesting more itinerant behavior of the 5 f electrons on Bi(110). Additionally, distinct subatomic features were observed from the dI/dV maps of U atoms on different substrates, which were attributed to the orbital selective hybridizations between U atoms and the substrates.

Summary: The influence of K-doping on the reactive oxygen species and elementary reactions of HCHO catalytic oxidation was investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The introduction of K-doping changed the electronic structures of Ce and O, facilitating the adsorption and activation of HCHO and O2 molecules, enhancing lattice oxygen mobility, and reducing the energy barrier for HCHO oxidation. K-doping also promoted the formation of hydroxyl groups, facilitating HCHO adsorption and oxidation.

Summary: This study investigates Si mass transport and morphological transformations on the Si(111) surface during (root 3 x root 3)-Sn reconstruction formation and Si homoepitaxy. The research shows that the formation of different Sn phases at different temperatures affects the Si island nucleation and monatomic step shift, which in turn impact the morphology of the Sn/Si(111) interface. Electromigration-induced drift of disordered Sn domains leads to enhanced noncompensated Si mass transport and surface roughening.

Summary: Deposition of thallium (Tl) onto the Au/Si(111)5 x 2 reconstruction followed by annealing results in the formation of a surface structure with 4 x 2 periodicity. The immiscibility of Au and Tl leads to the migration of Tl atoms over the Si chains. Thallium donates electrons to the surface, converting the metallic surface into an insulating state and altering the inter-chain distance within the array of Au atomic wires.

Summary: Using ab-initio calculations, the interaction between lead adatom and both clean and doped iron (100) surfaces was investigated. It was found that the lead adatom prefers to adsorb in the hollow site, which is more stable compared to the top and bridge sites, and in this position, it is energetically favorable over the iron adatom. Moreover, lead adsorbed in the hollow site of the iron (100) surface doped with chromium was found to create a more stable system compared to nickel-doped surfaces with an iron adatom in the same position. The study also explored inter-layer distances, bonding mechanisms, magnetic behaviors, and charge density differences. The results provide insights into the role of doping in the interaction between lead adatom and iron surface, and have implications for the analysis of corrosion processes caused by liquid lead.

Summary: Alkaline water electrolysis is a simple and efficient method for renewable hydrogen production, utilizing cheap and abundant transition metals. The catalytic properties of Ni materials are enhanced by the formation of oxidized compounds on the surface. The high electrocatalytic activity of Ni (oxy)-hydroxides is directly related to water intercalation in the passivation layer, supporting the hypothesis of a water mediated OH- diffusion mechanism. The self-organization of the surface structure during passivation layer formation enables high electrode performance.
