Abstract

From Steps to Clusters: When a flat surface of a single crystal is formed by cutting or cleavage, the atoms may move little from their bulk positions, or the surface may reconstruct as the atoms move to more energetically favorable positions. The adsorption of molecules can also change the energetic landscape and cause reconstruction. Tao et al. (p. 850 ; see the Perspective by Altman ) examined “stepped” platinum surfaces, the (557) and (332) surfaces in which flat terraces are connected by atomic steps. Scanning tunneling microscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed a reversible breakup into nanometer-scale clusters when CO surface coverages were very high. Density functional theory calculations suggest that this new morphology increases the number of edge sites for adsorption and relieves unfavorable CO-CO repulsions.

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.
