   Abstract : Materials that provide real-time control of the fundamental properties of light at visible and near-infrared frequencies enable the essential components for future optical devices. Metal nanostructures that couple electromagnetic (EM) radiation on a sub-wavelength length scale to free electrons, forming propagating or localized surface plasmons, provide many exciting functionalities due to their ability to manipulate light via the local EM field shaping and enhancement.

4. 2. Bonding and Desorption Mechanismsof CO on Metal Surfaces

   Author : Jörgen Gladh; Henrik Öström; Mats Götelid; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bonding; Desorption; CO; Metal; kemisk fysik; Chemical Physics; fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : I have investigated two different systems CO/Fe(100) and CO/Ru(0001), toobtain new information on the binding and desorption processes. The twodifferent systems have served as a model system, one for a static examination,CO on iron, and for the dynamic case, CO on ruthenium. READ MORE

5. 3. Metal-Organic Complexes at Surfaces

   Author : Cristina Isvoranu; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; x-ray absorption spectroscopy; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy; bi-isonicotinic acid; oxalic acid; spin change; gas adsorption; metal-organic complex; iron phthalocyanine; scanning tunneling spectroscopy; resonant photoemission spectroscopy;

   Abstract : The adsorption of different metal-organic complexes at surfaces was investigated by spectroscopic techniques (x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, x-ray absorption spectroscopy, resonant photoemission spectroscopy) and by scanning tunnelling microscopy. The investigation methods are able to provide atomic scale information on the studied systems, which moreover originates from the top-most atomic layers in a sample, meaning that they are surface sensitive techniques.

6. 4. Hydrogen Storage Materials : Design, Catalysis, Thermodynamics, Structure and Optics

   Author : Carlos Moysés Graça Araújo; Rajeev Ahuja; Ole Martin Løvvik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Materials science; Hydrogen-storage materials; Density functional theory; Molecular dynamics; Catalysis; Thermodynamics; Optics; Materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : Hydrogen is abundant, uniformly distributed throughout the Earth's surface and its oxidation product (water) is environmentally benign. Owing to these features, it is considered as an ideal synthetic fuel for a new world energetic matrix (renewable, secure and environmentally friendly) that could allow a sustainable future development.
