Silver dimers were fabricated on Ag(111) by single-atom manipulation using the tip of a cryogenic scanning tunnelling microscope. An unoccupied electronic resonance was observed to shift toward the Fermi level with decreasing atom-atom…
The ground-state electronic, structural, and magnetic properties of small silver clusters, Ag$_n$ (2$\le$n$\le$22), have been studied using a linear combination of atomic Gaussian-type orbitals within the density functional theory. The…
The electronic structure of nanoscopic oxide-coated aluminum islands is investigated using a tight-binding model that incorporates the geometry, chemistry and disorder of the particle. The oxide coat is found to significantly increase the…
The adsorption of Ag$_3$ and Ag$_4$ clusters on the $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$(0001) surface is explored with density functional theory. Within each adsorbed cluster, two different cluster-surface interactions are present. We find that silver…
The static response properties and the structural stability of silver clusters in the size range $1\le n \le 23$ have been studied using a linear combination of atomic Gaussian-type orbitals within the density functional theory in the…
Gold clusters Aun of size n = 2 to 12 atoms were studied by the density-functional theory with an ab-initio pseudopotential and a generalized gradient approximation. Geometry optimizations starting from a number of initial candidate…
The structure of AgCl formed in the course of chlorine adsorption on Ag(111) surface was studied by STM. For the first time atomic resolution STM images of silver chloride were obtained. The silver chloride was detected as small (30-60 A in…
We present a comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) study of Mo-doped silver clusters Ag$_n$Mo ($n=1$-14), focusing on their structural, electronic, and bonding properties. Global optimization reveals an evolution from planar and…
We present electronic band structure of Ag$_5$Pb$_2$O$_6$ with layered hexagonal structure containing one-dimensional chains and two-dimensional Kagom\'{e} layers of silver. A half-filled conduction band shows extremely simple, single…
By means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) we study the electronic structure of the III-V semiconductor surface InAs(111)A in the field emission regime (above the vacuum level). At high sample bias voltages (approaching +10 V), a…
Silver films were deposited at room temperature onto H-passivated Si(111) surfaces. Their electronic properties have been analyzed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. Submonolayer films were semiconducting and the onset of…
Electronic and optical properties of silver clusters were calculated using two different \textit{ab initio} approaches: 1) based on all-electron full-potential linearized-augmented plane-wave method and 2) local basis function…
Surface alloying is shown to produce electronic states with a very large spin-splitting. We discuss the long range ordered bismuth/silver(111) surface alloy where an energy bands separation of up to one eV is achieved. Such strong…
A scattering method is used to calculate the surface band structure of Al(111) from 8.6 eV below the Fermi level to 9 eV above it. This method has rarely been implemented previously. The complete complex bulk and surface band structure is…
Atomically precise thiolate-stabilized gold nanoclusters are currently of interest for many cross-disciplinary applications in chemistry, physics and molecular biology. Very recently, synthesis and electronic properties of "nanoalloy"…
Metallic surface states on semiconducting substrates provide an opportunity to study low-dimensional electrons decoupled from the bulk. Angle resolved photoemission is used to determine the Fermi surface, group velocity, and effective mass…
Recently, a giant spin splitting has been observed in surface alloys on noble metal (111) surfaces as a result of a strong structural modification at the surface as well as the large atomic spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of the alloy atoms.…
While many photoemission studies have dealt with both the bulk band structure and various surface states and resonances, the unoccupied electronic structure above the Fermi level of the Bi(111) surface has not yet been measured directly…
The time-dependent local density approximation is applied to the optical response of the silver clusters, Ag_2, Ag_3, Ag_8 and Ag_9^+. The calculation includes all the electrons beyond the closed-shell Ag^{+11} ionic core, thus including…
Electronic structure and cohesive properties of metastable hexagonal AgB_{2} and silver-deficient borides Ag_{0.875}B_{2} and Ag_{0.750}B_{2} were investigated by means of the projected augmented wave method in the framework of the density…
