By a computer simulation approach we study the scattering of $p$- or $s$-polarized light from a two-dimensional, randomly rough, perfectly conducting surface. The pair of coupled inhomogeneous integral equations for two independent…
Details are presented of an efficient formalism for calculating transmission and reflection matrices from first principles in layered materials. Within the framework of spin density functional theory and using tight-binding muffin-tin…
We present a theoretical approach to describe the 2D transport properties of the surfaces of three dimensional topological insulators (3DTIs) including disorder and phonon scattering effects. The method that we present is able to take into…
The surface orientation dependence on the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of topological crystalline insulator (TCI) SnTe thin films is studied. Their intrinsic activities are determined by linear sweep voltammetry and cyclic…
Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is a topological insulator whose unique properties result from topological surface states (TSS) in the band gap. The adsorption of Cs onto a Bi$_2$Se$_3$ surface is investigated by low energy ion scattering and work function…
We implement substrate rotation in a 2+1 dimensional solid-on-solid model of ion beam sputtering of solid surfaces. With this extension of the model, we study the effect of concurrent rotation, as the surface is sputtered, on possible…
We revisit the scattering of surface plasmons by shallow surface defects for both protrusions and indentations of various lengths, which are deemed infinite in one-dimension parallel to the surface. Subwavelength protrusions and…
We propose a model of a heterogeneous glass forming liquid and compute the low-temperature behavior of a tagged molecule moving within it. This model exhibits stretched-exponential decay of the wavenumber-dependent, self intermediate…
Recently, high-order topological insulators (HOTIs), accompanied by topologically nontrivial boundary states with codimension larger than one, have been extensively explored because of unconventional bulk-boundary correspondences. As a…
Implementing topological insulators as elementary units in quantum technologies requires a comprehensive understanding of the dephasing mechanisms governing the surface carriers in these materials, which impose a practical limit to the…
The long-range action of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is probed via distance-dependent measurements of molecular Raman spectra. To this end, identical SERS substrates composed of irregular silver nanoisland arrays were covered…
Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ is a topological insulator whose unique properties result from topological surface states (TSS) in the band gap. Low energy ion scattering can determine the properties of the outermost few atomic layers of a solid. The…
The two-dimensional (2D) surface state of the three-dimensional strong topological insulator (STI) is fundamentally distinct from other 2D electron systems in that the Fermi arc encircles an odd number of Dirac points. The TI surface is in…
Steam condensation on the surface of a solid is a widely observed mode of energy transfer in nature and various industrial applications. The condensation efficiency is closely related to the material properties and geometric morphology of…
In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrated photothermally-induced nonlinearities of both forward and backward scattering intensities from quasi-perfect absorbing silicon-based metasurface. The metasurface is efficiently…
Topological insulators (TIs) are said to be stable against non-magnetic impurity scattering due to suppressed backscattering in the Dirac surface states. We solve a lattice model of a three-dimensional TI in the presence of strong potential…
We report results of dynamic light scattering measurements of the coherent intermediate scattering function (ISF) of glasses of hard spheres for several volume fractions and a range of scattering vectors around the primary maximum of the…
Inelastic electron scattering by the adsorbate covered Pt(100) single crystal surface is studied by Disappearance Potential Spectroscopy and density of states (DOS) calculations. Two peculiar channels of elastic electron consumption are…
We investigate the dripping of liquids around solid surfaces in the regime of inertial flows, a situation commonly encountered with the so-called "teapot effect". We demonstrate that surface wettability is an unexpected key factor in…
By using the gauge-invariant kinetic equation, we analytically investigate the influence of the scattering on the optical properties of superconductors in the normal-skin-effect region. Both linear and second-order responses are studied…
