Nitrous Oxide Decomposition on the Binuclear $\left$ Center in Fe-ZSM-5 Zeolite

Lioubov Kiwi

The reaction mechanism for nitrous oxide (

{N}_{2}O

) direct decomposition into molecular nitrogen and oxygen was studied on binuclear iron sites in Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite using the density functional theory (DFT). Starting from the hydroxylated bi-iron complex ...

Solvation dynamics at liquid/metal-IV oxide interfaces

Erwin Portuondo Campa

This thesis presents a comparative study of the ultrafast solvation dynamics of liquids in bulk conditions, and at the interfaces of metal-IV oxides (specifically TiO2 and ZrO2), using ultrafast spectroscopy techniques. In the first part of the thesis we r ...
