    Title: Study of metal surfaces in operando conditions by means of near-ambient- pressure scanning tunneling microscopy Author: Petr Dlabaja Department: Department of Surface and Plasma Science Supervisor: RNDr. Peter Matvija, Ph.D., Department of Surface and Plasma Science Abstract: The thesis covers investigation of monocrystalline surfaces of metals Cu(111) and Pt(111) in high pressures. These surfaces were exposed to oxygen and carbon monoxide gasses of pressures between 1 × 10−10 mbar and 5 mbar. Changes in the structure of the surfaces was monitored using scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Acquired results showed that reactive gasses at pressures ≈ 5 mbar affect the structure of the surfaces more prominently than the same gasses of lower pres- sures. The surface of Cu(111) at room temperature and 5 mbar pressure of O2 strongly oxidized. The surface of Pt(111) at pressure 5 mbar of gass O2 oxidized only locally, under the influence of the STM tip. Increased pressure of carbon mo- noxide induces creation of nanometric clusters on the surface of Cu(111), which agglomerate into small islands. These islands are distributed evenly on the whole surface of Cu(111). In contrast increased pressure of carbon monoxide mainly changes the shapes of..

    Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel

    No full text
    For close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

    Covalently linked molecular networks on metal-passivated surfaces

    The creation of electronic devices only from atoms or molecules could be the next step in the creation of more advanced nanotechnologies. Initial experiments have already taken place and we know that it is possible on some surfaces. In this work, we tried to create similar simple molecular structures on surfaces with a silicon substrate. We initially modified the substrate by depositing Bismuth, Indium and a combination of both. We optimized the methods of formation of these surfaces and subsequently created simple structures with the help of deposited Dithienyl- dithiopyrolopyrrole molecules, while we successfully managed to create the intended structures on several surfaces and arranged groupings of molecules on the surfaces Si(111)/In √3 x√7, Si(111)/Bi(√3 x√3) and on Si(111)/Bi-In(√7 x√7). We subsequently created a model of interaction molecules inthis structures on substrat

    abstract: Peter was seven years old when his village was attacked. He walked to the border of Ethiopia, Sudan and into Kenya where he lived for eight years. “Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 25Region: Southern SudanThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente
