The structural and electronic properties of Si(335)-Au surface decorated with Pb atoms are studied by means of density-functional theory. The resulting structural model features Pb atoms bonded to neighboring Si and Au surface atoms,…
Dynamical clustering represents a characteristic feature of active matter consisting of self-propelled agents that convert energy from the environment into mechanical motion. At the micron scale, typical of overdamped dynamics, particles…
Recent data have determined that the structure of the high pressure $\epsilon$ phase of solid oxygen consists of clusters composed of four O$_2$ molecules. This finding has opened the question about the nature of the intermolecular…
Adsorption of Fe on the rutile (110)-surface is investigated by means of {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculations. We discuss the deposition of single Fe atoms, an increasing Fe coverage, as well as the adsorption of small Fe…
In order to construct a dielectric analog of spaser, we study theoretically and experimentally several configurations of cluster-based unit cells for an all-dielectric metasurface characterized by resonant conditions of the trapped mode…
The puzzling question about the floating of the topological surface state on top of a thick Pb layer, has now possibly been answered. A study of the interface made by Pb on Bi2Se3 for different temperature and adsorbate coverage condition,…
This study investigates the filamentary structural states of microgravity dusty plasma using data from the Plasmakristall-4 (PK-4) facility on board the International Space Station. The dust particles in the PK-4 discharge are observed to…
We present a density-functional theory study addressing the energetics and electronic structure properties of isolated oxygen adatoms at the SrTiO3(001) surface. Together with a surface lattice oxygen atom, the adsorbate is found to form a…
The possible importance of oxide formation for the catalytic activity of transition metals in heterogenous oxidation catalysis has evoked a lively discussion over the recent years. On the more noble transition metals (like Pd, Pt or Ag) the…
We report on the synthesis and Raman scattering characterization of composite materials based on the hostnanoporous matrices filled with nanostructured KH2PO4 (KDP) crystal. Silica (SiO2) and anodized aluminium oxide (AAO) were used as host…
In this note we apply a 4-fold sum operation to develop an associativity rule for the pairwise symplectic sum. This allows us to show that certain diffeomorphic symplectic $4$-manifolds made out of elliptic surfaces are in fact…
Using a first-principles parameterized lattice-gas Hamiltonian we study the adsorbate ordering behavior at atomic steps of a Pd(100) surface exposed to an oxygen environment. We identify a wide range of gas-phase conditions comprising near…
In this work, we study the hexagonal variant of the $\text{Ce}_2\text{PdGe}_3$ system that crystallizes in the $\text{AlB}_2$-type structure (space group $P6/mmm$, $hP3$) and exhibits cluster spin glass type behavior. The physical…
A new $\alpha$-cluster wave function is proposed which is of the $\alpha$-particle condensate type. Applications to $^{12}$C and $^{16}$O show that states of low density close to the 3 resp. 4 $\alpha$-particle threshold in both nuclei are…
We consider a mixture of one neutral and two oppositely charged types of molecules confined to a surface. Using analytical techniques and molecular dynamics simulations, we construct the phase diagram of the system and exhibit the…
We establish various stability results for symplectic surfaces in symplectic $4-$manifolds with $b^+=1$. These results are then applied to prove the existence of representatives of Lagrangian ADE-configurations as well as to classify…
Depositions of amorphous Lennard-Jones clusters on a crystalline surface are numerically investigated. From the results of the molecular dynamics simulation, we found that the deposited clusters exhibit a transition from multilayered…
Three-dimensional strong topological insulators (TIs) guarantee the existence of a 2-D conducting surface state which completely covers the surface of the TI. The TI surface state necessarily wraps around the TI's top, bottom, and two…
The local environment of metal-oxide supported single-atom catalysts plays a decisive role in the surface reactivity and related catalytic properties. The study of such systems is complicated by the presence of point defects on the surface,…
We consider the growth of clusters in disordered media at zero temperature, as exemplified by supercritical generalized percolation and by the random field Ising model. We show that the morphology of such clusters and of their surfaces can…
