In this perspective we discuss the progress made in the mechanistic studies of the surface chemistry associated with the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of metal films and the usefulness of that knowledge for the optimization of existing film growth processes and for the design of new ones. Our focus is on the deposition of late transition metals. We start by introducing some of the main surface-sensitive techniques and approaches used in this research.

The Mott-based resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) has been considered as a promising candidate for next-generation nonvolatile mass storage. Its performance relies on the oxygen migration process. In , , 17682-17690, Wang et al.

This is a reply to the Comment of Okhrimenko in the same issue of . We discuss the arguments brought forward by said authors, oppose their objections and show the unchanged validity of our results.

However, the study has assumptions, hypothesis and results that do not take into account the recognised science and regulations on biopersistence of stone wool fibres, limitations of the utilized surface sensitive techniques and modelling approach and it contains a contradiction with biosolubility experiments. In this comment article, we discuss these points, propose improved QUASES XPS modelling and present recent ToF-SIMS mapping results that reflect biosolubility behaviour of the stone wool fibres.

A recent Letter in this Journal (Gladich et al. 13, 2994-3001) reported that photoelectron spectroscopy could not detect any products on the surface of aqueous Fe jets dosed with gaseous hydrogen peroxide. The Letter however concluded that Fe(aq) ions react with HO(g) at the water-vapor interface to produce the same Fe + HO products as their reaction with HO(aq) in bulk water.
