20.08.2010-19.12.2013

Research Project N N204097839 :"Structure evolution of metal-catalyst during surface chemical reaction" granted by Ministry of Science and Higher Education, dates 20.08.2010-19.12.2013, principal investigator Z.Kaszkur.

Contribution:

Developement and application of a new method of XRD structural studies in situ of nanometals and of dynamics of their surface. Developement of a method enabling detection of surface reconstruction effects versus surface relaxation. Discovery and insight into a new process of quick Pt nanocrystal coallescence rationalized via self-lifting reconstruction mechanism.
