We present scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of single-layer graphene crystals examined under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. The samples, with lateral dimensions on the micron scale, were prepared on a silicon dioxide surface by…
We studied the structural and magnetic properties of \FeC~thin films deposited by co-sputtering of Fe and C targets in a direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) process at a substrate temperature (\Ts) of 300, 523 and 773\,K. The…
We investigate the fluorescence and relaxation dynamics of Cs atoms embedded in a cryogenic argon matrix using spectroscopy measurements combined with diatomic-in-molecule (DIM) simulations. The data reveal complex emission spectra, large…
We present a theoretical study of the role of the local environment in the electronic properties of carbon nanotubes: isolated single- and multi-wall nanotubes, nanotube-ropes, tubes supported on gold and cutted to finite length.…
The formation of a novel surface reconstruction upon Co deposition on freshly cleaved Ge(111)2x1 surfaces is studied by means of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at low temperature. The deposited Co atoms are immobile at substrate…
The optical absorptions of different Au32 isomers in the whole frequency range from the far-infrared (FIR) to near-ultraviolet (UV) have been calculated using the relativistic density-functional method in order to identify their geometrical…
Monolayer Tellurium (Te) or tellurene has been suggested by a recent theory as a new two-dimensional (2D) system with great electronic and optoelectronic promises. Here we present an experimental study of epitaxial Te deposited on highly…
We experimentally demonstrate optical trapping of 87Rb atoms using a two-color evanescent field around an optical nanofiber. In our trapping geometry, a blue-detuned traveling wave whose polarization is nearly parallel to the polarization…
The in-plane optical properties of the inhomogeneous iron-chalcogenide superconductor K_{0.8}Fe_{2-y}Se_2 with a critical temperature Tc = 31 K have been modeled in the normal state using the Bruggeman effective medium approximation for…
Investigations of clathrate structures have gained a new impetus with the recent discovery of room-temperature superconductivity in metal hydrides. Here we report the finding, through density functional theory calculations, of a clathrate…
Alternating layers of granular Iron (Fe) and Titanium dioxide (TiO$_{2-\delta}$) were deposited on (100) Lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO$_3$) substrates in low oxygen chamber pressure using a controlled pulsed laser ablation deposition…
We present a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of a gently-graphitized 6H-SiC(0001) surface in ultra high vacuum. From an analysis of atomic scale images, we identify two different kinds of terraces, which we unambiguously attribute…
A complicating factor in unraveling the theory of high-temperature (high-Tc) superconductivity is the presence of a "pseudogap" in the density of states, whose origin has been debated since its discovery [1]. Some believe the pseudogap is a…
Transition-metal dichalcogenides containing tellurium anions show remarkable charge-lattice modulated structures and prominent interlayer character. Using cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), we map the atomic-scale…
Semiconducting nanoparticles are the building blocks of optical nanodevices as their electronic states, and therefore light absorption and emission, can be controlled by modifying their size and shape. CdSe is perhaps the most studied of…
The formation of planetesimals requires that primordial dust grains grow from micron- to km-sized bodies. Dust traps caused by gas pressure maxima have been proposed as regions where grains can concentrate and grow fast enough to form…
We present an improved way for imaging the local density of states with a scanning tunneling microscope, which consists in mapping the surface topography while keeping the differential conductance (d$I$/d$V$) constant. When archetypical…
Context. The [CII] 158 {\mu}m far-infrared (FIR) fine-structure line is one of the most important cooling lines of the star-forming interstellar medium (ISM). High spectral resolution observations have shown complex structures in the line…
Silicon thin films for coverages ($\theta$) between 0.3 and 3 monolayers have been grown on rutile \ce{TiO2}(110)-(1x1) at room temperature and studied by x-ray and ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopies, Auger electron spectroscopy, and…
The electron-conduction properties of fullerene chains are examined by first-principles calculations based on the density functional theory. The conductivity of the C$_{60}$ dimer is low owing to the constraint of the junction of the…
