Reactivity of Nitric Oxide on Copper Surfaces : Elucidated by Direct Observation of Valence Orbitals

This book provides microscopic insights into chemical properties of NO on metal surfaces. NO/metal systems have been studied intensively to understand heterogeneous catalysis to detox exhaust NOx gas. The identification and componential analysis of various and mixed chemical species of NO adsorbed o...
