Reflective ptychography is a promising lensless imaging technique with a wide field of view, offering significant potential for applications in semiconductor manufacturing and detection. However, many semiconductor materials are coated with…
Recently, layered copper chalcogenides Cu2X family (X=S, Se, Te) has attracted tremendous research interests due to their high thermoelectric (TE) performance, which is partly due to the superionic behavior of mobile Cu ions, making these…
$\alpha$-Sn thin films can exhibit a variety of topologically non-trivial phases. Both studying the transitions between these phases and making use of these phases in eventual applications requires good control over the electronic and…
As-rich GaAs (001) surfaces are successfully observed during As4-irradition by a system in which scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and molecular beam epitaxy can be performed simultaneously. With a substrate temperature of 440 C and an…
Indium phosphide and derived compound semiconductors are materials often involved in high-efficiency solar water splitting due to their versatile opto-electronic properties. Surface corrosion, however, typically deteriorates the performance…
The adsorption of CO on unreconstructed and reconstructed Ir{100} has been studied, using a combination of density functional theory and thermodynamics, to determine the relative stability of the two phases as a function of CO coverage,…
The extent of hydrogen coverage of the Si(001)c(4x2) surface in the presence of hydrogen gas has been studied with dispersion corrected density functional theory. Electronic energy contributions are well described using a hybrid functional.…

The detailed knowledge of the inner skin temperature behavior is very important to evaluate and manage the aging of large pipes in cooling systems. We describe here a method to obtain this information as a function of outer skin temperature…
We present a comprehensive investigation of reconstructions on $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$(001) combining first-principles calculations with experimental observations. Using ab initio atomistic thermodynamics and replica-exchange grand-canonical…
We performed a combined study of the (001)-cleavage plane of lanthanum hexaboride (LaB$_\text{6}$) using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT). Experimentally, we found a (2$\times$1) reconstructed surface…
The structure of titanium films on \alpha - Al2O3(0001) surfaces at room temperature was investigated through in situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The \alpha-phase of titanium was observed to grow with the Ti(0001)…

The heteroepitaxial growth of Re (0001) films on Nb (110) surfaces has been investigated. Nb/Re bilayers were grown on A-plane sapphire -- alpha-Al2O3 (11-20) -- by molecular beam epitaxy. While Re grew with a (0001) surface, the in-plane…
We demonstrate a motion-free intensity diffraction tomography technique that enables direct inversion of 3D phase and absorption from intensity-only measurements for weakly scattering samples. We derive a novel linear forward model,…
Tin telluride (SnTe) is an IV-VI semiconductor with a topological crystalline insulator band structure, high thermoelectric performance, and in-plane ferroelectricity. Despite its many applications, there has been little work focused on…
We present a pulsed laser deposition (PLD) system that can monitor growth by simultaneously using in situ optical spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). The RHEED precisely monitors the…

We introduce the EMC algorithm for reconstructing a particle's 3D diffraction intensity from very many photon shot-noise limited 2D measurements, when the particle orientation in each measurement is unknown. The algorithm combines a…
