Using ab initio molecular-dynamics simulations combined with linear-response theory, we studied the x-ray absorption near-edge spectra (XANES) of a two-temperature dense copper plasma. As the temperature increases, XANES spectra exhibit a…
Metal and magnetic overlayers alter the surface of the topological insulator (TI) bismuth selenide (Bi$_2$Se$_3$) through proximity effects but also by changing the composition and chemical structure of the Bi$_2$Se$_3$ sub-surface. The…
LaFe3/4Ni1/4O3 was subjected to oxygen near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy for 300 K < T < 773 K. The spectra show in the pre-edge a small hole doped peak originating from Ni substitution. The relative spectral…
X-ray emission K{\alpha}1,2 spectra of Mn in Heusler alloys Co2MnMe (Me = Al, Ga, Sb), Ni2MnIn, Cu2MnAl were studied. Shifts of Mn K{\alpha}1,2 lines relatively pure Mn in high-energy region and low-energy shifts of binding energy Mn 2p XPS…
We have used scanning micro x-ray diffraction to characterize different phases in superconducting K$_{x}$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_2$ as a function of temperature, unveiling the thermal evolution across the superconducting transition temperature…
We report on our investigation of the electrical properties of metal/Al2O3/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors. We determined the conduction band offset and interface charge density of the alumina/GaN interface by analyzing…
We have performed a depth profile study of thermally diffused Mn/GaAs (001) interfaces using photoemission spectroscopy combined with Ar$^+$-ion sputtering. We found that Mn ion was thermally diffused into the deep region of the GaAs…
Surface alloying can alter surface electronic and magnetic properties, which are key parameters when developing new materials tailored for specific applications. A magnetic surface alloy was formed by depositing Sb on Ni(111) at elevated…

Experimental and theoretical studies of manganese deposition on graphene/Ni(111) shows that a thin ferromagnetic Ni3Mn layer, which is protected by the graphene overlayer, is formed upon Mn intercalation. The electronic bands of graphene…
CrN/MgO(111) multilayers modeled via \textit{ab initio} calculations give rise to nanoscale, scalable, spatially separated two-dimensional electron and hole gases (2DEG+2DHG), each confined to its own CrN interface. Due to the Cr $3d^3$…
The effective barrier height between an electrode and a ferroelectric (FE) depends on both macroscopic electrical properties and microscopic chemical and electronic structure. The behavior of a prototypical electrode/FE/electrode structure,…
We have successfully demonstrated Si/GaAs p-n heterostructures using Al2O3 ultra-thin oxide interfacial layers. The band diagram and band offsets were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and confirm a small discontinuity in…
Al(110) has been studied for temperatures up to 900 K via ensemble density-functional molecular dynamics. The strong anharmonicity displayed by this surface results in a negative coefficient of thermal expansion, where the first interlayer…
The interface between topological and normal insulators hosts metallic states that appear due to the change in band topology. While these topological states at a surface, i.e., a topological insulator-air/vacuum interface, have been studied…
Cometary activity from interstellar objects provides a unique window into the environs of other stellar systems. We report blue-sensitive integral field unit spectroscopy of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS from the Keck-II-mounted Keck…
Semiconductor-superconductor hybrid materials are used as a platform to realise Andreev bound states, which hold great promise for quantum applications. These states require transparent interfaces between the semiconductor and…
