The non-wetting phenomena of water on certain solid surfaces have been under intensive study for decades, but the nature of hydrophobic/water interfaces remains controversial. Here a water/graphite interface is investigated with…
We studied and optimized the molecular beam epitaxy of GaSb layers on vicinal (001) Si substrates using a GaAs nucleation layer. An in-depth analysis of the different growth stages under optimized conditions revealed the formation of a high…
The unique anisotropy of ice has endowed sea ice growth a peculiar and attractive subject from both fundamental and applied viewpoints. The distinct growth behaviors between edge and basal plane of ice are one of the central topics in ice…
We present our study of (0001) oriented Mn$_3$Sn (c-Mn$_3$Sn) thin films synthesized directly on an MgO (111) substrate via molecular beam epitaxy. We identify a growth window where Mn$_3$Sn growth can be controlled through slight…
Pristine, single-crystalline graphene displays a unique collection of remarkable electronic properties that arise from its two-dimensional, honeycomb structure. Using in-situ low-energy electron microscopy, we show that when deposited on…
We perform three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations of uniform dusty gas clouds irradiated by an active galactic nucleus (AGN) to investigate the dependence of evolution of clouds on the ionization parameter $\mathcal{U}$ and…
Cubic GaN layers were grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on 3C-SiC (001)substrates. In situ reflection high energy electron diffraction was used to quantitatively determine the Ga coverage of the GaN surface during growth.…
The authors have applied positron annihilation spectroscopy to study the effect of different growth conditions on vacancy formation in In- and N-polar InN grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The results suggest that the…
We report on an observation of propagating compression waves in a quasi-two-dimensional monolayer of apolar granular rods fluidized by an upflow of air. The collective wave speed is an order of magnitude faster than the speed of the…
We report low temperature current-voltage measurements on n-type InN films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The zero-resistance state with a large critical current around 1 mA has been observed at 0.3 K. Under in-plane field configuration,…
The thermodynamics of the Stranski-Krastanov mode of epitaxial growth and the effect of the sign of the lattice misfit are discussed. The Stranski-Krastanov mode of growth represents a sequence of layer-by-layer or Frank-van der Merwe…
GaN/AlxGa1-xN quantum wells were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on high quality bulk (0001) GaN substrates. The quantum well thickness was set in the 6-8 nm range to favor the photoluminescence emission of indirect excitons. Indeed, such…
The effects of mobility of small islands on island growth in molecular beam epitaxy are studied. It is shown that small island mobility affects both the scaling and morphology of islands during growth. Three microscopic models are…
We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of submonolayer heteroepitaxial growth of Ag on Si(111)-7x7 at temperatures from 420 K to 550 K when Ag atoms can easily diffuse on the surface and the reconstruction 7x7 remains…
GaAs:Mn nanowires were obtained on GaAs(001) and GaAs(111)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxial growth of (Ga,Mn)As at conditions leading to MnAs phase separation. Their density is proportional to the density of catalyzing MnAs…
Spin wave frequencies are observed in ultra-thin Fe/GaAs(100) films at temperatures where the spontaneous zero field magnetization is zero. The films exhibit good cyrstalline structure, and the effect of magnetic anisotropies is apparent…
Oceanic internal tides and other inertia-gravity waves propagate in an energetic turbulent flow whose lengthscales are similar to the wavelengths. Advection and refraction by this flow cause the scattering of the waves, redistributing their…
Mn-doped GaAs nanowires were grown in the self-catalytic growth mode on oxidized Si(100) surface by molecular beam epitaxy and characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Raman scattering, photoluminescence,…
The energetics of thin elongated ferromagnetic nano-islands is considered for some different shapes, aspect ratios, and applied magnetic field directions. These nano-island particles are important for artificial spin-ice materials. For low…
Self assembly on suitably chosen substrates is a well exploited root to control the structure and morphology, hence magnetization, of metal films. In particular, the Cu3Au(001) surface has been recently singled out as a good template to…
