What is ``zero multiplied by zero (0.0)''?

If we are given that (x-2)(x-3)=0 and 0.0=0, then we can conclude that both x=2 and x=3 simultaneously. This is because x-2=0 and x-3=0, simultaneously, is consistent with 0.0=0. However, this...

Why XPS peak of of O1s of Zn shifts towards lower energy due to some O ion replacement by S?

I have observed O1s peak shifted toward lower energy after some S ion are diffused into ZnO lattice. I got a paper stating that the lower electron density on oxygen lattice site due to replacement...

Under the applied vacuum annealing conditions, a PdZn alloy may be more thermodynamically more stable than the Pd@ZnO core-shell structure. Thus PdZn alloy formation will occur as it lowers the total surface energy of the system. Alternatively, as Wang Yunjian noted, metallic Pd may also catalyze the reduction of ZnO to Zn metal + 1/2 O2.
