Moreover, we further demonstrate that, when multipoles of different orders are simultaneously taken into consideration, loss or gain can serve as helpful rather than harmful contributing factors, for the elimination of backward scattering.

• charge gain and loss, respectively. It can be observed that there is charge depletion in Li2Sx and the 2H-MoS2 monolayer, and that charge accumulates between the Li atoms and the S atoms of 2H-MoS2, suggesting a chemical Li–S bond between Li2Sx and the 2H-MoS2 monolayer. With increasing x the charge

• deposition of NiO is carried out from nickelocene (NiCp2) and O3 precursors and the reduction of this oxide film to metallic Ni is obtained by a reductive annealing process under H2 atmosphere. The relative mass, m, gain and loss have been monitored during the process by QCM and are plotted in Figure 2a. A

• ). It is difficult to correlate the mass gain and loss measured by the QCM with a reaction mechanism. Thus few data can be found in literature about such chemical processes. However, Martinson et al. proposed a detailed investigation of the Fe2O3 formation from FeCp2 and O3 precursors by using

• formaldehyde. A –Pd–Hx termination is created at the active site and Hhfac, CO and H2 are released during step 4. The formation process of the Pd clusters has been monitored by QCM measurements in order to detect the mass gain and loss during the ALD cycles. The general evolution of m during the deposition is
