Diffusion mediated interaction in metal-substrate assembly during high temperature annealing leads to possible formation of new composite materials. Here, sputtered grown Ti films on Si3N4/Si substrate has been reported to produce titanium…

The deposition of one silicon monolayer on the silver (111) substrate in the temperature range 150-300$^\circ$C, gives rise to a mix of (4$\times$4), ($2\sqrt{3}\times 2\sqrt{3}$)R30$^\circ$ and ($\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$)R13.9$^\circ$…

The 10-nm-scale structure in silicon cleavage is studied by the quantum mechanical calculations for large-scale electronic structure. The cleavage process on the order of 10 ps shows surface reconstruction and step formation. These…

The hydrogen-terminated Silicon(100)-2x1 surface (H-Si(100)-2x1) provides a promising platform for the development of atom scale devices, with recent work showing their creation through precise desorption of surface hydrogen atoms. While…

Ferroelectric ceramics (Ba0.85Ca0.15)(Ti0.9Zr0.1-xSnx)O3 (x=0.00, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06) were prepared by a sol-gel method. Structural investigation revealed the co-existence of tetragonal (P4mm) and orthorhombic (Pmm2) symmetries at room…

The kinetics of the sorption and the subsequent desorption of 4He by the starting graphite oxide (GtO) and the thermally reduced graphene oxide samples (TRGO, Treduction = 200, 300, 500, 700 and 900 C) have been investigated in the…

We analyze both the stationary and time-dependent properties of molecular states in atomic chains on a surface, some of which are composed of atomic states decoupled from the substrate - a phenomenon analogous to dark states in quantum dot…

Over the last two decades, scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) has become one of the most important ways to investigate the structure of crystal surfaces. STM has helped achieve remarkable successes in surface science such as finding the…

Black Phosphorus (bP) has emerged as an interesting addition to the category of two-dimensional materials. Surface-science studies on this material are of great interest, but they are hampered by bP's high reactivity to oxygen and water, a…

We studied dynamics of Au (001) surface in situ in 0.1 M HClO4 electrolyte solution using both coherent x-ray scattering and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The surface of Au (001) is known to reconstruct at cathodic potentials; the…

We investigated STM-induced chlorine desorption and lithographic patterning of Cl-terminated Si(100)-(2x1) surfaces at sample temperatures from 4 K to 600 K. STM lithography has previously focused on hydrogen-based chemistry for donor…

To understand surface structural modifications for Au/Si (100) system, a thin gold film of ~2.0 nm was deposited under ultra high vacuum (UHV) condition on reconstructed Si surfaces using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Post annealing was…

The physical properties of ultrathin NaCl overlayers on the stepped Cu(311) surface have been characterized using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy, and density functional calculations. Simulations of STM images and…

Low energy electron diffraction (LEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and photoelectron spectroscopy have been used to study an ordered structure formed by Ge atoms deposited onto the Au(111) surface. Based on a careful analysis of…

Graphene films prepared by heating the SiC(000-1) surface (the C-face of the {0001} surfaces) in a Si-rich environment are studied using low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM). Upon graphitization,…

We have used Ultrahigh Vacuum (UHV) Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to investigate the effect of thermal annealing of graphene grown by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) on a Cu(110) foil. We show that the annealing appears to induce a…

The electronic structure of Si(110)"16 x 2" double-domain, single-domain and 1 x 1 surfaces have been investigated using spin- and angle-resolved photoemission at sample temperatures of 77 K and 300 K. Angle-resolved photoemission was…

Reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) is a powerful tool for characterizing crystal surface structures. However, the setup geometry leads to distorted and complicated patterns, which are not straightforward to link to the…

While the phenomenon of metal substrate adatom incorporation into molecular overlayers is generally believed to occur in several systems, the experimental evidence for this relies on the interpretation of scanning tunnelling microscopy…

We present a computational study of the void-induced microstructure in amorphous silicon ($\it a$-Si) by generating ultra-large models of $\it a$-Si with a void-volume fraction of 0.3$\%$, as observed in small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS)…
