A paper on three-dimensional (3D) structural determination of Cu single atoms on an α-Al₂O₃(0001) surface using the PTRF-XAFS and DFT calculations has been published in PCCP.
A paper on three-dimensional (3D) structural determination of Cu single atoms on an α-Al₂O₃(0001) surface using the PTRF-XAFS and DFT calculations has been published in PCCP.
We proposed a novel local surface relaxation mechanism for stabilizing the structure of the Cu single atoms.
This is a collaborative research achievement with Associate Prof. Min Gao from ICReDD, Assistant Prof. Daiki Kido and Prof. Masao Kimura from KEK IMSS, and Prof. Kiyotaka Asakura from Ritsumeikan University.
