Surface oxidation of liquid Sn [PDF]
We report the results of an x-ray scattering study that reveals oxidation kinetics and formation of a previously unreported crystalline phase of SnO at the liquid-vapour interface of Sn. Our experiments reveal that the pure liquid Sn surface does not react with molecular oxygen below an activation pressure of \~5.0*10-6 Torr.

Strain-induced ferroelectricity in simple rocksalt binary oxides [PDF]
The alkaline earth binary oxides adopt a simple rocksalt structure and form an important family of compounds because of their large presence in the earth's mantle and their potential use in microelectronic devices. In comparison to the class of multifunctional ferroelectric perovskite oxides, however, their practical applications remain limited and the

Heterogeneous nucleation of pits via step pinning during Si(100) homoepitaxy
Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we investigate oxide-induced growth pits in Si thin films deposited by molecular beam epitaxy. In the transition temperature range from 2D adatom islanding to step-flow growth, systematic controlled air leaks ...

CO oxidation on Pd(100) at technologically relevant pressure conditions: A first-principles kinetic Monte Carlo study [PDF]
The possible importance of oxide formation for the catalytic activity of transition metals in heterogenous oxidation catalysis has evoked a lively discussion over the recent years. On the more noble transition metals (like Pd, Pt or Ag) the low stability of the common bulk oxides suggests primarily sub-nanometer thin oxide films, so-called surface ...

Dissociative adsorption of methane on surface oxide structures of Pd-Pt alloys [PDF]
The dissociative adsorption of methane on variously oxidized Pd, Pt and Pd-Pt surfaces is investigated using density-functional theory, as a step towards understanding the combustion of methane on these materials. For Pd-Pt alloys, models of surface oxide structures are built on the basis of known oxides on Pd and Pt.

Cu2O and Au/Cu2O Particles: Surface Properties and Applications in Glucose Sensing
In this work we investigated the surface and facet-dependent catalytic properties of metal oxide particles as well as noble metal/metal oxide heterogeneous structures, with cuprous oxide (Cu2O) and Au/Cu2O being selected as model systems.

Simple self-gettering differential-pump for minimizing source oxidation in oxide-MBE environment [PDF]
Source oxidation of easily oxidizing elements such as Ca, Sr, Ba, and Ti in an oxidizing ambient leads to their flux instability and is one of the biggest problems in the multi-elemental oxide Molecular Beam Epitaxy technique. Here we report a new scheme that can completely eliminate the source oxidation problem: a self-gettering differential pump ...

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.
