We report on a combined scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) based investigation of Co atoms on Ge(111)2x1 surfaces. When deposited on cold surfaces, individual Co atoms have a limited diffusivity on the…
Based upon first-principles methods, we investigate the magnetic anisotropy and the spin-texture of Co adatoms embedded in the topmost Se network of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ surface. We find the formation of energetically…
We have investigated the magnetic Co atoms self-assembled on the ultraflat stanene on Cu(111) substrate by utilizing scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) in conjunction with density functional theory (DFT). By means of…
We examine the adsorption of a single Ni atom on a monolayer of MgO on a Ag substrate using DFT and DFT+U computational approaches. We find that the electronic and magnetic properties vary considerably across the three binding sites of the…
The adsorption of CO molecules at the Ca3Ru2O7(001) surface was studied using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Ca3Ru2O7 can be easily cleaved along the (001) plane, yielding a smooth,…
While the phenomenon of metal substrate adatom incorporation into molecular overlayers is generally believed to occur in several systems, the experimental evidence for this relies on the interpretation of scanning tunnelling microscopy…
Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is a topological insulator whose unique properties result from topological surface states (TSS) in the band gap. The adsorption of Cs onto a Bi$_2$Se$_3$ surface is investigated by low energy ion scattering and work function…

Chemisorption of CO on the stepped Cu(211) surface is studied within ab-initio density functional theory (DFT) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) imaging as well as manipulation experiments. Theoretically we focus on the experimentally…
We have used spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy to observe the spin-polarization state of individual Fe and Cr atoms adsorbed onto Co nanoislands. Both of these magnetic adatoms exhibit stationary out-of-plane spin-polarization…
The Niobium surface is almost always covered by a native oxide layer which greatly influences the performance of superconducting devices. Here we investigate the highly stable Niobium oxide overlayer of Nb(110), which is characterised by…
Theoretical and experimental investigation of the electronic and magnetic structure of transition metal atoms on an insulating interface with a metallic substrate at low temperatures is quite challenging. In this paper, we show a density…
We characterized CO2 adsorption and diffusion on the missing row reconstructed Cu(100)-O surface using a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations with dispersion. We deposited CO2…
Van der Waals semiconducting magnets exhibit a cornucopia of physical phenomena originating from the interplay of their semiconducting and magnetic properties. However, a comprehensive understanding of how semiconducting processes and…
We report scanning tunneling microscopy observations of Ge deposited on the Si(111)-7x7 surface for a sequence of sub-monolayer coverages. We demonstrate that Ge atoms replace so-called Si adatoms. Initially, the replacements are random,…
X-ray absorption fine-structure (XAFS) measurements supported by {\em ab initio} computations within the density functional theory (DFT) are employed to systematically characterize Fe-doped as well as Fe and Si-co-doped films grown by…
Understanding charge transfer at oxide interfaces is crucial for designing materials with emergent electronic and magnetic properties, especially in systems where strong electron correlations and spin-orbit coupling coexist.…
We use density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate structural models consisting of anatase TiO2(101) slabs covered by reduced overlayers formed by (101) crystallographic shear planes (CSPs). Ab initio thermodynamics supports…
