Bonding Changes in Compressed Superhard Graphite
Wendy L. Mao,Wendy L. Mao,Ho-kwang Mao,Ho-kwang Mao,Peter J. Eng,Thomas P. Trainor,Thomas P. Trainor,Matthew Newville,Chi-Chang Kao,Dion L. Heinz,Jinfu Shu,Yue Meng,Russell J. Hemley +12 more
TL;DR: The x-ray diffraction pattern of the high-pressure form is consistent with a distorted graphite structure in which bridging carbon atoms between graphite layers pair and form σ-bonds, whereas the nonbridgingcarbon atoms remain unpaired with π-bond.

Structure of the Hydrated α-Al2O3 (0001) Surface
Peter J. Eng,Thomas P. Trainor,Gordon E. Brown,Glenn A. Waychunas,Matthew Newville,Stephen R. Sutton,Mark L. Rivers +6 more
TL;DR: The physical and chemical properties of the hydrated α-Al2O3 (0001) surface are important for understanding the reactivity of natural and synthetic aluminum-containing oxides as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: A Basic-Stern surface complexation model is developed to model observed zetapotentials, while only considering outer-sphere complexes of ions other than protons and hydroxide, which gives reasonable values for the inner Helmholtz capacitance, in line with the Stern layer thickness estimated from surface diffraction results.

Structure and reactivity of the hydrated hematite (0001) surface
Thomas P. Trainor,Anne M. Chaka,Peter J. Eng,Matthew Newville,Glenn A. Waychunas,Jeffrey G. Catalano,Gordon E. Brown +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of the hydroxylated hematite surface was investigated using crystal truncation rod diffraction and density functional theory, and the combined experimental and theoretical results suggest that the surface is dominated by two hydroxym moieties, singly and doubly coordinated with Fe.

TL;DR: The present archetypal example opens two enormous, element-specific, research areas on high-pressure bonding evolutions of boron and nitrogen; each of the two elements and their respective compounds have displayed a wealth of intriguing pressure-induced phenomena that result from bonding changes, including metallization.
