(author), Bisquert, Juan (author), Gimenez, Sixto (author), Smith, W.A. (author)Au-Cu bimetallic thin films with controlled composition were fabricated by magnetron sputtering co-deposition, and their performance for the electrocatalytic reduction of CO <sub>2</sub> was investigated. The uniform planar morphology served as a platform to evaluate the electronic effect isolated from morphological effects while minimizing...journal article 2019

Valenti, M. (author), Prasad, Nitin P. (author), Kas, R. (author), Bohra, D. (author), Ma, M. (author), Balasubramanian, Vignesh (author), Chu, L. (author), Dam, B. (author), Smith, W.A. (author)CO <sub>2</sub> electroreduction is a promising technology to produce chemicals and fuels from renewable resources. Polycrystalline and nanostructured metals have been tested extensively while less effort has been spent on understanding the performance of bimetallic alloys. In this work, we study compositionally variant, smooth Au-Pd thin...journal article 2019

Ma, M. (author), Hansen, Heine A. (author), Valenti, M. (author), Wang, Zegao (author), Cao, A. (author), Dong, Mingdong (author), Smith, W.A. (author)The electrocatalytic reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> on Au-Pt bimetallic catalysts with different compositions was evaluated, offering a platform for uncovering the correlation between the catalytic activity and the surface composition of bimetallic electrocatalysts. The Au-Pt alloy films were synthesized by a magnetron sputtering co-deposition...journal article 2017

Kumar, N. (author), Abdi, F.F. (author), Trzesniewski, B. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Planken, P.C.M. (author), Adam, A.J.L. (author)We demonstrate emission of terahertz pulses from a BiVO4/Au thin film interface, illuminated with femtosecond laser pulses. Based on the experimental observations, we propose that the most likely cause of the THz emission is the Photo-Dember effect caused by the standing wave intensity distribution formed at the BiVO4/Au interfaces.journal article 2015

(author)A 25 keV focused helium ion beam has been used to grow PtC nanopillars on a silicon substrate by beam-induced decomposition of a (CH3)3Pt(CPCH3) precursor gas. The ion beam diameter was about 1 nm. The observed relatively high growth rates suggest that electronic excitation is the dominant mechanism in helium ion-beam-induced deposition.
