• different atoms and metal clusters. Furthermore, a particular chemical activity at the APDBs has been experimentally verified. For instance, nitric oxide decomposition on thin film aluminum oxide preferentially takes place at the APDBs [52]. It has been predicted by means of DFT calculations [47] that
