Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): During the past few decades, great advances in surface science have occurred.
New experimental methods such as scanning tunneling microscopy have allowed studies of surfaces and surface processes on an atomic scale.
At the same time computer capacity has improved to the point where methods that previously could only be used for bulk materia1s can now be used for studying surfaces and surface processes.

By employing density-functional theory I have studied oxygen on a reconstructed Cu (l00) surface.
Copper surfaces have been extensively studied during the past few years due to their promising catalytic properties, such as oxidation of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide in the water-gas process.
To better understand these processes, I have calculated various adsorption and diffusion trajectories on the Cu(l00)-(2sqrt(2) x sqrt(2)R45°-O missing row reconstructed surface.

The project has resulted in data about the energetics of oxygen and copper on the above mentioned surface.
Also, a phenomenon where adsorption of oxygen caused two copper atoms beside the missing row to be pulled out from the surface has been observed.
These data have been compared to recent experimental results.
