We present a variable temperature Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy (STM and STS) study of the Si(553)-Au atomic chain reconstruction. This quasi one-dimensional (1D) system undergoes at least two charge density wave (CDW)…

When gold is deposited on Si(553), the surface self-assembles to form a periodic array of steps with nearly perfect structural order. In scanning tunneling microscopy these steps resemble quasi-one-dimensional atomic chains. At temperatures…

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…

The one-dimensional (1D) model system Au/Ge(001), consisting of linear chains of single atoms on a surface, is scrutinized for lattice instabilities predicted in the Peierls paradigm. By scanning tunneling microscopy and electron…

Recent photoemission experiments on the Si(553)-Au reconstruction show a one-dimensional band with a peculiar ~1/4 filling. This band could provide an opportunity for observing large spin-charge separation if electron-electron interactions…

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…

Using scanning tunneling microscopy together with the first-principles density functional theory calculations we study structural properties of the Si(111)5x2-Au surface covered by Ag adatoms. The STM topography data show that a…

A new structural model of Au induced Si(553) surface is proposed. The model accounts for recently experimentally found value of the Au coverage, i.e. 0.48 monolayer, which suggests formation of two gold chains on each Si(553) terrace. The…

We identify the atomic structure of the Au/Si(111)-5x2 surface by using density functional theory calculations. With seven Au atoms per unit cell, our model forms a bona fide 5x2 atomic structure, which is energetically favored over the…

We propose a relevant lattice distortion to stabilize the spin-Peierls state in CeRu2Al10, compatible with the 27Al-NQR spectra and the neutron diffraction patterns on the assumption that Al atoms at Al(1) to Al(4) sites displace toward…

Our it ab initio calculations show that spin-orbit coupling is crucial to understand the electronic structure of the Si(557)-Au surface. The spin-orbit splitting produces the two one-dimensional bands observed in photoemission, which were…

We have carried out a density functional study of unoccupied, resonance states in a single Au atom, dimers, a trimer and infinite Au chains on the NiAl(110) surface. Two inequivalent orientations of the ad-chains with substantially…

We investigate quasi one-dimensional atomic chains on Si(553)-Au with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The observed periodicity at the Si step edge can be altered by the STM and depends on the magnitude of the tunneling current. In a…

We use first principles density functional theory calculations to examine the effect of multiple anions on the Peierls distortion in the rutile oxyfluoride TiOF. By using a structure enumeration approach, we obtain the ground state atomic…

It has been suggested that the metal-insulator transitions in a number of spinel materials with partially-filled t_2g d-orbitals can be explained as orbitally-driven Peierls instabilities. Motivated by these suggestions, we examine…

Because the three-leg ladder behaves like a renormalized single Heisenberg chain we argue that a spin-Peierls instability must occur in this system when it is coupled to three-dimensional phonons. Using the bond-mean-field theory, we show…

We have performed a density functional study of fifteen different structural models of the Si(557)-Au surface reconstruction. Here we present a brief summary of the main structural trends obtained for the more favourable models, focusing…

We present a survey of the structural and magnetic properties of submonolayer transition metal dioxides on the (001) surfaces of the heavy face-centered cubic (fcc) noble metals Ir and Pt performed by spin-averaged scanning tunneling…

We predict a new type of phase transition in a quasi-two dimensional system of electrons at high magnetic fields, namely the stabilization of a density wave which transforms a two dimensional open Fermi surface into a periodic chain of…

The Si(557)-Au surface, containing monatomic Au wires parallel to the steps, has been proposed as an experimental realization of an ideal one-dimensional metal. In fact, recent photoemission experiments on this system (Nature 402, 504…
