Abstract
(Figure Presented) Atom by atom: The formation of palladium dimers and trimers from single palladium atoms adsorbed on the surface of a thin MgO(100) film has been observed with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope. Combining experimental results and DFT calculations allows the adsorption sites, the geometry, and the electronic properties of the palladium particles to be determined. These are found to have the structures predicted to be most stable on the MgO surface. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH S. Co.
