The development and utilization of inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy as a surface vibrational probe with an emphasis on the study of chemisorption and heterogeneous catalysis
Inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy (IETS) has been used to investigate the vibrational structure of molecular species bound to, or contained in, the insulating layer of Al-insulator Pb tunnel junctions. The insulating layer, prepared by the exposure of the Al electrode to an oxygen plasma dis...
