    Notes: Abstract This report describes a combined experimental and theoretical approach to the problem of designing surface alloys with specific chemical properties. Au-Ni(111) surface alloys were prepared and the distribution of active sites was determined by atomically resolved STM as a function of Au coverage. Using density functional theory the difference in activation energy for methane over the various sites was determined. The activity of the surface could be predicted directly by combining this information with the distribution of sites. Subsequent measurements of the activity proved this method to be quantitative and demonstrated that surface alloys with specific activity can be synthesized.

    Notes: Abstract The possibility of studying the texture of catalysts at the atomic level by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) is demonstrated. It is shown that high resolution pictures can be obtained even for a passivated ammonia synthesis catalyst using a scanning tunneling microscope operating in air. The STM results reveal that the catalyst has a spongy pore structure with both hole and slit shaped pores. The catalyst surfaces are observed to contain fine quite regular ridge structures with a direction that tentatively is related to the (110) direction of iron. The presence of the ridge structures is apparently the result of the topotactic nature of the reduction process and a preference to expose (111) Fe facets.
