Surface Chemistry of Ag Particles: Identification of Oxide Species by Aberration‐Corrected TEM and by DFT Calculations

Edges and steps have been identified as the locations of surface (O2) and subsurface oxygen atoms (O1) on silver particles by means of DFT calculations and aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. The experimental technique allows surface features, such as terraces, steps, and edges, to be clearly imaged (see picture) by eliminating the Fresnel fringes.
