Hello, all. It is a low- to medium- level brain teaser. Pt-coated collimating mirror was in place for Pd K-edge measurement, but Au L3-edge of Pd-Au alloy was measured (for testing purposes). I0 and It detectors were both Ar filled ionization chambers. Because of the energy dependence of

That question reminds me of a Russian riddle: In each corner of a room there is a cat. In the eyes of each cat there are three cats. On the tail of each cat there is a cat. How many cats are there? Anatoly > On May 15, 2023, at 7:09 PM, Soyoung Kim wrote: > >  > Dear all, > > While fitting

Hi Qiang, There are many papers analyzing Pt SACs on ceria and many of them are able to provide good evidence of Pt-O-Ce coordination. See for example Fig. 5d in this paper and the discussion of the model and fit results. M. Kottwitz, Y. Li, R. M. Palomino, Z. Liu, Q. Wu, G. Wang, J. Huang, J.
