1	Dynamics of formation of Ru, Os, Ir and Au metal nanocrystals on doped graphitic surfaces Pitto-Barry, Anaïs, Sadler, P.J., Barry, Nicolas P.E. 24 December 2015 (has links) Yes / The fabrication of precious metal (ruthenium, osmium, gold, and iridium) nanocrystals from single atoms has been studied in real-time. The dynamics of the first stage of the metal nanocrystallisation on a doped (B,S)-graphitic surface are identified, captured, and reported. / We thank the Leverhulme Trust (Early Career Fellowship No. ECF-2013-414 to NPEB), the ERC (Grant No. 247450 to PJS), EPSRC (EP/F034210/1 to PJS).

2	Influence of boron doping on the dynamics of formation of Os metal nanoclusters on graphitic surfaces Pitto-Barry, Anaïs, Barry, Nicolas P.E. 07 May 2019 (has links) Yes / The fabrication of osmium nanoclusters from single atoms has been studied in real-time on B-doped and B-free graphitic surfaces. The dynamics of nucleation on both surfaces are identified, captured, and reported. The nucleation is ca. 2× faster on B-doped surface compared to the B-free surface (38 pm min−1versus 18 pm min−1), suggesting osmium–boron interactions within the nanomaterials.
