Ames National Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated national laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), operated by and located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
For more than 70 years, the Ames National Laboratory has successfully partnered with Iowa State University, and is unique among the 17 DOE laboratories in that it is physically located on the campus of a major research university. Many of the scientists and administrators at the Laboratory also hold faculty positions at the University and the Laboratory has access to both undergraduate and graduate student talent.

Abstract
We report a surface science study of fluorinated and hydrogenated ethers adsorbed at a metal surface. Fluorinated ethers bond less strongly to ruthenium surfaces than the hydrogenated analogs, both for atomically-smooth and atomically-rough surfaces. For the hydrogenated ethers, 0.03 to 0.17 monolayers undergo decomposition, while fluorinated ethers do not decompose significantly.
