Interaction of Platinum Films with the (0001#) and (0001) Surfaces of ZnO

In this investigation, the growth, structure, and electronic properties of Pt films on the polar surfaces of ZnO were examined using high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy (HREELS) and low-energhy, electron diffraction (LEED). The growth mode of vapor-deposited Pt films on ZnO(0001#) and ZnO(0001) at 300 K was found to be nearly layer-by-layer. The surfaces of Pt films produced in this manner exhibited hexagonal symmetry and were stable up to 600 K. At higher temperatures, the Pt agglomerated into particles which remained oriented with respect to the ZnO substrate. HREELS results indicate that there are only weak interactions at the Pt/ZnO(0001#) interface, while charge transfer and Schottky barrier formation occures at the Pt/ZnO(0001) interface

Local‐Regional Similarity in Drylands Increases During Multiyear Wet and Dry Periods and in Response to Extreme Events

Climate change is predicted to impact ecosystems through altered precipitation (PPT) regimes. In the Chihuahuan Desert, multiyear wet and dry periods and extreme PPT pulses are the most influential climatic events for vegetation. Vegetation responses are most frequently studied locally, and regional responses are often unclear. We present an approach to quantify correlation of PPT and vegetation responses (as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index [NDVI]) at the Jornada ARS‐LTER site (JRN; 550 km2 area) and the surrounding dryland region (from 0 to 500 km distance; 400,000 km2 study area) as a way to understand regional similarity to locally observed patterns. We focused on fluctuating wet and dry years, multiyear wet or dry periods of 3–4 yr, and multiyear wet periods that contained one or more extreme high PPT pulses or extreme low rainfall. In all but extreme high PPT years, JRN PPT was highly correlated... (See article for full abstract)
