Ultrathin Cerium Oxide Islands on Cu(111): Work Function and Reaction with Oxygen and Hydrogen at RT

Abstract Ultrathin oxide films can significantly change the work function (WF) of metal surfaces, with large consequences for the adsorption of nanoparticles and molecules on the films. In contrast to other oxides, little is known about the impact of ultrathin cerium oxide (ceria...
