Interactions between iron, water, oxygen and ions quickly become complex. MTU scientists developed a more precise method to observe how iron minerals like rust form. One can easily see with the naked ...

Within materials science, the surface is often where the most important interactions occur. Whether the focus is corrosion, catalysis, adhesion, or biomaterials, the outermost atomic layers determine ...

A recent article in Advanced Materials Interfaces presented a method to more accurately determine the surface chemistry of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXenes. The authors used energy-dependent X-ray photoelectron ...

Editor’s note: An open house is planned at the University of Delaware’s Surface Analysis Facility, located in Lammot du Pont Laboratory on UD’s Newark campus Friday, Sept. 23, from noon to 2 p.m. The ...

A new technical titled “The effects of sub-monolayer laser etching on the chemical and electrical properties of the (100) diamond surface” was published by researchers at Macquarie University and MIT.

XPS relies on the photoelectric effect, where irradiating a material with X-rays causes the emission of core electrons. The kinetic energy of these emitted electrons is measured, which can be directly ...

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, known as MXenes, have attracted attention in academia and industry due to their attractive electronic, electrochemical, chemical, and ...
