1. The effect of surface steps and oxides on the catalytic activity on model Pd and Rh catalysts
Abstract : A catalyst is a substance that can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. Catalysts are crucial for chemical production industries, where about 90% of all chemicals are produced using catalysts. READ MORE

2. Molecular Alligator Clips: A Study of Metal-Molecule Contacts for Molecular Electronics
Abstract : In this thesis we present a computational study of the elementary building blocks for molecular electronics, interconnected electronic devices with critical dimensions below 5 nm. Building electronic circuits on that scale requires stable connection between the various parts of the device and to the macroscopic metal electrodes, needed for power supply, support and integration with conventional electronics.

3. Alkali Metal Adsorption on Metals Studied by Hiqh Resolution Core Level Spectroscopy and Low Energy Electron Diffraction
Abstract : Alkali metal adsorption on metals is studied by High Resolution Core Level Spectroscopy (HRCLS) and Low Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED). The studies can be divided into two parts: adsorption of alkali multilayers and alkali adsorption in the submonolayer regime. READ MORE

4. Adsorption and bonding on platinum : influence of the surface structure and chemical composition
Abstract : This thesis deals with the influence of the structure andchemical composition of platinum surfaces on the adsorption ofsome molecules. Three main lines can be distinguished : 1) thecharacterisation of clean/modified surfaces, 2) the adsorptionof some simple atoms and molecules on these surfaces andfinally 3) the adsorption of 2-butenal, a bi-functionalmolecule containing a C=C group conjugated with a C=O group.

5. Dynamics of metal oxides surfaces and the connection to reactivity
Abstract : Many interesting chemical and physical phenomena which take place on surfaces of metaloxides rely on the material's ability to repeatedly alter the electronic surface structure. Formost metal oxides this functionality is connected to the degree of non-stoichiometry andthe presence of structural defects. READ MORE
