About

Our research focuses on exploring the influence of atomic-level structures on catalytic reactions.

Equipment and Techniques

We employ a variety of surface probe techniques, including Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES), Reflection High-Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED), Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Temperature-Programmed Desorption (TPD). These techniques are integrated with first-principles Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the origins of size-dependent catalytic properties—such as reactivity and selectivity—of oxide-supported metal nanoclusters under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. This research aims to contribute to the development of ideal catalysts.
