We present an ab initio investigation of the interaction between methane, its dehydrogenated forms and the cerium oxide surface. In particular, the stoichiometric CeO2(111) surface and the one with oxygen vacancies are considered. We study…

Due to the excellent physical properties, two dimensional materials have attracted widespread attention from researchers. In this article, we discuss a transition metal dichalcogenide, ReSeS monolayer with 1T" phase, with extremely low…

By combining neutron inelastic scattering (NIS) and first-principles calculations, we have investigated the lattice dynamics of MOF5. The structural stability of MOF5 was evaluated by calculating the three cubic elastic constants. We find…

Thin-film colossal magnetoresistance manganites such as La$_{0.67}$Ca$_{0.33}$MnO$_{3}$ (LCMO) have now been intensely studied for more than a decade, but the issue of possible nanoscale electronic phase separation is not fully solved.…

In this work, we report the growth of a single mixed Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_x$ layer, with diverse stoichiometries, on a Ag(111) substrate. The atomic geometry has been thoroughly investigated by low energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling…

High-efficiency organic photocathodes, based on regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (rr-P3HT:PCBM) bulk heterojunction sandwiched between charge-selective layers, are emerging as efficient and…

Irradiation with high-energy particles has recently emerged as an effective tool for tailoring the properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides. In order to carry out an atomically-precise manipulation of the lattice, a…

By means of Diffusion Monte Carlo calculations, we obtained the complete phase diagrams of H$_2$ adsorbed on the outer surface of isolated armchair carbon nanotubes of radii ranging from 3.42 to 10.85 \AA. We only considered density ranges…

Using density-functional theory in combination with a thermodynamic formalism we calculate the relative stability of various structural models of the polar O-terminated (000-1)-O surface of ZnO. Model surfaces with different concentrations…

When thin films are grown on a substrate by chemical vapor deposition, the evolution of the first deposited layers may be described, on mesoscopic scales, by dynamical models of the reaction-diffusion type. For monoatomic layers, such…

The layer stacking order in 2D materials strongly affects functional properties and holds promise for next generation electronic devices. In bulk, octahedral MoTe$_2$ possesses two stacking arrangements, the Weyl semimetal T$_d$ phase, and…

In this article, a dynamical force microscopy study of self-assembled monolayers of organosilanes, grafted on a silica support, is reported. Organosilanes, terminated either with a functional group (ethylene glycol) or with a methyl group,…

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of monolayer VTe2 grown on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite by molecular-beam epitaxy. Using various in-situ microscopic and spectroscopic techniques, including scanning tunneling…
