We present a study of graphene/substrate interactions on UHV-grown graphene islands with minimal surface contamination using \emph{in situ} low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We compare the physical and electronic…
A nearly-free-electron (NFE) model to describe STM spectroscopy of (111) metal surfaces with Kondo impurities is presented. Surface states are found to play an important role giving a larger contribution to the conductance in the case of…
We calculate the conductance spectra of a Co atom adsorbed on Cu(111), considering the Co $3d$ orbitals within a correlated multiple configurations model interacting through the substrate band with the Co $4s$ orbital, which is treated in a…
Theoretical investigations of surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals are reported. The dynamically screened interaction is computed, within many-body theory, by going beyond a free-electron description of the metal surface.…
Shockley surface states (SS) have attracted much attention due to their role in various physical phenomena occurring at surfaces. It is also clear from experiments that they can play an important role in electron transport. However,…
The 2D layer Green function scattering method is used to calculate the energy of surface states and resonances at Gamma-bar for Al(111) for both below and above the vacuum level. The surface barrier potential is represented by an empirical…
A new method to calculate the electric field inside a spherical shell with surface charge in terms of solid angle is presented. The integral can be readily carried out without invoking special functions typically used for this classical…
The "density-density" correlation function of conduction electrons in metal is investigated. It is shown, that the asymptotic behaviour of the CF depends on the shape and the local geometry of the Fermi surface. In particular, the exponent…
Electric field, uniform within the slab, emerging due to Fermi level pinning at its both sides is analyzed using DFT simulations of the SiC surface slabs of different thickness. It is shown that for thicker slab the field is nonuniform and…
We study the spectra and response of two electrons moving on a surface of a sphere and interacting via harmonic potential, to external static and laser fields. The spectrum of such system law is analysed in the light of varying coupling…
We explore an efficient way to numerically evaluate the response of the surface stress of a metal to changes in its superficial charge density by analysis of the strain-dependence of the work function of the uncharged surface. As an…
Our ab initio calculations of CO adsorption on several low and high miller index surfaces of Cu show that the adsorption energy increases as the coordination of the adsorption site decreases from 11 to 6, in qualitative agreement with…
Recently developed model allows for simulations of electric field influence on the surface states. The results of slab simulations show considerable change of the energy of quantum states in the electric field, i.e. Stark Effect associated…
A theoretical many-body analysis is presented of the electron-electron inelastic lifetimes of Shockley electrons and holes at the (111) surface of Cu. For a description of the decay of Shockley states both below and above the Fermi level,…
In this work we establish a density-functional reformulation of coupled matter-photon problems subject to general external electromagnetic fields and charge currents. We first show that for static minimally-coupled matter-photon systems an…
Quantum confinement of surface electrons in two-dimensional metal-organic porous networks offers a powerful route to engineer electronic states for emerging quantum and spintronic technologies at the molecular scale. To date, such…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) is used to study the dynamics of hot electrons trapped on a Cu(100) surface in field emission resonances (FER) above the vacuum level. Differential conductance maps show isotropic electron interference…
We investigated the electronic structure of the Si(111)--7$\times$7 surface below 20 K by scanning tunneling and photoemission spectroscopies and by density functional theory calculations. Previous experimental studies have questioned the…
Self-consistent calculations of the energy-loss spectra of charged particles moving near a plane-bounded free electron gas are reported. Energy-loss probabilities are obtained, within linear-response theory, from the knowledge of the…
Combining classical electrodynamics and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we develop a general and rigorous theoretical framework that describes the energetics of metal surfaces under high electric fields. We show that the…
