Abstract

We present the first demonstration of the use of ultrafast extreme-ultraviolet pulses to directly monitor a surface chemical reaction on femtosecond time scales. By adsorbing molecular oxygen onto a platinum surface and exciting it with an ultrafast laser pulse, changes in the oxygen-platinum chemical bond on a subpicosecond time scale were observed through changes in the photoelectron spectra. This work demonstrates a powerful new technique for studying reactions of interest in catalysis and for probing changes of local order on surfaces on their fundamental time scales.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
