In situ IR spectroscopic studies of the CO oxidation reaction over a ruthenium model catalyst [Elektronische Ressource] / von Attila Farkas

In situ IR spectroscopic studies of the CO oxidation reaction over a ruthenium model catalyst im Fachbereich Chemie und Biologie der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen genehmigte Dissertation von Attila Farkas aus Baia de Arama Gießen 2008 II Die vorliegende Arbeit wurde in der Zeit von Februar 2003 bis März 2008 am Physikalisch-Chemischen Institut der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen unter der Anleitung von Prof. Dr. Herbert Over und Dr. Georg Mellau angefertigt. Erster Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Herbert Over Zweiter Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Peter Klar III Acknowledgments I thank Prof. Dr. Herbert Over for accepting me as his student and for entrusting me with this beautiful and challenging research topic. I owe him, as a teacher, my introduction to the science, but I could equally well say magic of Surface Science. His constant support and unwavering confidence in my abilities have helped me, more than once, out of the difficult moments of my research. I confess that I am indebted to him not only as a teacher, but also as a friend. Herbert and his wonderful family have compensated for the absence of my own family, which I have left many years ago in order to acquire science abroad. Without the help of Dr.
