In this paper we analyse the mechanisms responsible for the bonding of electrons to metal surfaces. We present and validate a method to measure the energy distribution of dense electron ensembles at ambient conditions. We have found sharp…
In this work we combine density functional theory and quantum transport calculations to study the influence of atomic--scale defects on the work function and field emission characteristics of metal surfaces. We develop a general methodology…
We develop analytical models of optical-field electron tunneling from the edge and surface of two-dimensional (2D) materials, including the effects of reduced dimensionality, non-parabolic energy dispersion, band anisotropy, quasi-time…
The total energy distributions (TEDs) of the emission currents in field emission and surface photofield emission and the overlayer-induced modifications in the surface electronic structures from the technologically important W surfaces with…
The effect of external strain on surface properties of simple metals is considered within the modified stabilized jellium model. The equations for the stabilization energy of the deformed Wigner-Seitz cells are derived as a function of the…
Field emission effect is the emission of electrons from a cold metallic surface in the presence of an electric field. The emission current exponentially depends on the work function of the metallic surface. In this work we consider the role…
Combining classical electrodynamics and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we develop a general and rigorous theoretical framework that describes the energetics of metal surfaces under high electric fields. We show that the…
We investigate energy resolved electric current from various correlated host materials under out-of-equilibrium conditions. We find that, due to a combined effect of electron-electron interactions, non-equilibrium and multi-particle…
The break-down of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation is an important topic in chemical dynamics on metal surfaces. In this context, the most frequently used "work-horse" is electronic friction theory, commonly relying on friction…
The cold field electron emission from metallic nanowall array is investigated theoretically. Via conformal mapping method, analytic formulas of tunneling barrier, edge field enhancement factor, transmission coefficient, and area emission…
Surface effects on the electronic energy loss of charged particles entering a metal surface are investigated within linear-response theory, in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory. Interesting phenomena occur in the…
One of the most convenient methods to obtain information about the energy distribution function of electrons in conducting materials is the measurement of the energy resolved current $j(\omega)$ in field emission (FE) experiments. Its high…
A model is constructed to describe the thermal-field emission of electrons from a three-dimensional ($3$D) topological semimetal hosting Dirac/Weyl node(s). The traditional thermal-field electron emission model is generalised to accommodate…
We study the effect of electron-electron interaction on the surface resistivity of three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators. In the absence of umklapp scattering, the existence of the Fermi-liquid ($T^2$) term in resistivity of a…
We investigate the consequences of applying electric fields perpendicularly to thin films of topological semimetals. In particular, we consider Weyl and Dirac semimetals in a configuration such that their surface Fermi arcs lie on opposite…
We show that, in a magnetic field parallel to the 2D electron layer, strong electron correlations change the rate of tunneling from the layer exponentially. It results in a specific density dependence of the escape rate. The mechanism is a…
The electronic band structure of bulk ferromagnetic iron is explored by angle-resolved photoemission for electron correlation effects. Fermi surface cross-sections as well as band maps are contrasted with density functional calculations.…
The classic theory of electron field emission from a cold metal surface due to Fowler and Nordheim (FN) is re-examined and found to violate the validity criteria for the WKB approximation, for electric fields greater than about 1V per…
The "density-density" correlation function of conduction electrons in metal is investigated. It is shown, that the asymptotic behaviour of the CF depends on the shape and the local geometry of the Fermi surface. In particular, the exponent…
We analyze the convergence of the electron density and relative energy with respect to a perfect crystal of a class of volume defects that are compactly contained along one direction while being of infinite extent along the other two using…
