Oxidized surface of a tungsten sample has been used as a carrier for palladium and/or molybdenum clusters, prepared by vacuum deposition. Field electron emission microscopy has been applied to study these sandwich systems (Pd, Mo/WOx/W). In this work, nitrogen spill-over between neighbouring molybdenum and palladium clusters (islands) was demonstrated. The crystallographic orientation of these clusters has been studied by field ion microscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
