High-index surfaces of silicon with adsorbed gold can reconstruct to form highly ordered linear step arrays. These steps take the form of a narrow strip of graphitic silicon. In some cases - specifically, for Si(553)-Au and Si(557)-Au - a…
Stabilization of the Si(553) surface by Au adsorption results in two different atomically defined chain types, one of Au atoms and one of Si. At low temperature these chains develop two- and threefold periodicity, respectively, previously…
The step edges on the Si(553)-Au surface undergo a 1 x 3 reconstruction at low temperature which has recently been interpreted theoretically as the x3 ordering of spin-polarized silicon atoms at the edges of the graphitic Si nanowires on…
An ideal one-dimensional electronic system is formed along atomic chains on Au-decorated vicinal silicon surfaces but the nature of its low temperature phases has been puzzled for last two decades. Here, we unambiguously identify the low…
The self-assembly of submonolayer amounts of Au on the densely stepped Si(553) surface creates an array of closely spaced \atomic wires" separated by 1.5 nm. At low temperature, charge transfer between the terraces and the row of silicon…
A novel method invented to measure the minute thermodynamic spin magnetization of dilute two dimensional fermions is applied to electrons in a silicon inversion layer. Interplay between the ferromagnetic interaction and disorder enhances…
The total energy of the transverse spin-spiral wave as a function of the wave vector for all 3$d$ transition metal atomic chains has been calculated within {\it ab initio} density functional theory with generalized gradient approximation.…
We discuss the origin of an enigmatic low-temperature behavior of one-dimensional decorated spin systems which was coined the pseudo-transition. Tracing out the decorated parts results in the standard Ising-chain model with…
Recently has been observed for some one-dimensional models that exhibit unexpected pseudo-transitions and quasi-phases. This pseudo-transition resembles a first- and second-order phase transition simultaneously. One of those models is the…
The finite temperature behavior of small Silicon (Si$_{10}$, Si$_{15}$, and Si$_{20}$) and Tin (Sn$_{10}$ and Sn$_{20}$) clusters is studied using isokinetic Born-Oppenheimer molecular dynamics. The lowest equilibrium structures of all the…
The spin-1/2 Ising diamond chain in a magnetic field displays a remarkable pseudo-transition whenever it is driven sufficiently close to a ground-state phase boundary between a classical ferrimagnetic phase and a highly degenerate…
We present a Tight-Binding Molecular Dynamics investigation of the stability, the geometrical and the electronic structure of suspended monatomic transition metal chains. We show that linear and stable monatomic chains are formed at…
Great efforts have been made to the investigation of defects in silicon carbide for their attractive optical and spin properties. However, most of the researches are implemented at low and room temperature. Little is known about the spin…
We present theoretical studies of temperature dependent diamagnetic-paramagnetic transitions in thin quantum rings. Our studies show that the magnetic susceptibility of metal/semiconductor rings can exhibit multiple sign flips at…
Motivated by recent neutron scattering experiments, we study the ordering of spins in the iron-based superconductors La(O_{1-x}F_x)FeAs, assuming them in proximity to a Mott insulator in the phase diagram. The ground state of the parent…
We use the sixteen vertex model to describe bi-dimensional artificial spin ice (ASI). We find excellent agreement between vertex densities in fifteen differently grown samples and the predictions of the model. Our results demonstrate that…
The melting point of silicon in the cubic diamond phase is calculated using the random phase approximation (RPA). The RPA includes exact exchange as well as an approximate treatment of local as well as non-local many body correlation…
We formulate statistical mechanics for the mixed diamond chain with spins of magnitudes 1 and 1/2. Owing to a series of conservation laws, any eigenstate of this system is decomposed into eigenstates of finite odd-length spin-1 chains. The…
We investigate the impact of a uniform spin density on the critical temperature of the chiral phase transition in finite-temperature QCD in the scope of the linear sigma model. We demonstrate that at a finite spin potential $\mu_\Sigma$,…
The thermodynamic properties of ferromagnetic spin chains have been analyzed with a variety of microscopic methods over the years: Bethe ansatz, spin-wave theory, Schwinger-boson mean-field theory, Green functions and renormalization group…
