Surface-state mediated interactions between adsorbates on surfaces can be exploited for the fabrication of self-organized nanostructures such as two-dimensional superlattices of adatoms. Using angle-resolved photoemission we provide…
The electronic structure of artificial Mn atom arrays on Ag(111) is characterized in detail with scanning tunnelling spectroscopy and spectroscopic imaging at low temperature. We demonstrate the degree to which variations in geometry may be…
Atomic and electronic structures of a polar surface of MgO formed on Ag(111) was investigated by using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), Auger electron spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), and…
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.…
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy have been applied to study the intercalation process of silver underneath a monolayer of graphite (MG) on Ni(111). The room-temperature deposition of silver on top of…

We investigate the thermal behavior of the (111) surface of silver, using phonon frequencies obtained from ab initio total energy calculations, and anharmonic effects treated within a quasiharmonic approximation. Our results reproduce the…
A novel scanning tunneling microscope manipulation scheme for a controlled molecular transport of weakly adsorbed molecules is demonstrated. Single sexiphenyl molecules adsorbed on a Ag(111) surface at 6 K are shot towards single…
The optical absorption spectrum of the three most stable isomers of the Ag11 system was calculated using the time-dependent density functional theory, with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation potential,…
The electronic structure of the recently synthesised (3x3) reconstructed silicene on (4x4) Ag(111) is investigated by first-principles calculations. New states emerge due to the strong hybridization between silicene and Ag. Analyzing the…
Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excitation of nanostructures and charge transfer in plasmonic nanocavities plays a central role in nanoscale optoelectronics and in applications for plasmonic devices. However, the direct…
We have carried out a density functional study of unoccupied, resonance states in a single Au atom, dimers, a trimer and infinite Au chains on the NiAl(110) surface. Two inequivalent orientations of the ad-chains with substantially…
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…
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…
Surface alloying can alter surface electronic and magnetic properties, which are key parameters when developing new materials tailored for specific applications. A magnetic surface alloy was formed by depositing Sb on Ni(111) at elevated…
