Linear chains of about 10-13 carbon atoms were predicted to be the most favorable phase on different metal surfaces prior to graphene nucleation. However, unlike the graphene that widely studied both theoretically and experimentally, carbon…

We study via density functional-based molecular dynamics the structural and dynamical properties of the rare earth silicon amorphous alloy Y_xSi_{1-x} for x=0.093 and x=0.156. The Si network forms cavities in which a Y^{3+} cation is…

In Si(111) crystals, a strong biaxial tensile strain applied within the (111) plane is considered to shift the lowest energy point of the conduction band from the $\Delta$ valley to the L valley. Electrons confined in this L valley…

Recent experimental studies have shown that well-annealed, unstrained Si(105) surfaces appear disordered and atomically rough when imaged using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM). We construct new models for the Si(105) surface that are…

We study a mechanism for superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional materials with Ising anisotropy. In an isolated chain Ising anisotropy opens a spin gap; if inter-chain coupling is sufficiently weak, single particle hopping is suppressed…

The transition between gapped (semiconducting) and gapless (metallic) phases and tunability of bandgap in materials is a very lucrative yet considerably challenging goal for new-age device preparation. For bulk materials and for…

The STM induced rotation and dissociation dynamics of a single oxygen molecule on the Pt(111) surface have been finally determined by first principles calculations together with a newly developed statistical model for inelastic electron…

A weakly disordered quasi-one-dimensional tight-binding hopping model with $N$ rows is considered. The probability distribution of the Landauer conductance is calculated exactly in the middle of the band, $\epsilon=0$, and it is shown that…

According to the classification using projective representations of the SO(3) group, there exist two topologically distinct gapped phases in spin-1 chains. The symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase possesses half-integer projective…

Conserved lattice gas (CLG) models in one dimension exhibit absorbing state phase transition (APT) with simple integer exponents $\beta=1=\nu=\eta$ whereas the same on a ladder belong to directed percolation (DP)universality. We conjecture…

The morphology and electronic structure of pentacene (Pn) deposited on Cu(111) was studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS). Deposition of a multilayer followed by annealing to reduce coverage to a monolayer…

Electron transport through Si-C bound alkyl chains, sandwiched between n-Si and Hg, is characterized by two distinct types of barriers, each dominating in a different voltage range. At low voltage, current depends strongly on temperature…

We calculate the radiative properties for a linear dipole-coupled chain of qubits. Using the explicit energy eigenstates of the system, we find the radiation patterns for spontaneous transitions from the one-photon eigenstates to the ground…

Pentagon is one of the most beautiful geometric structures in nature, but it is rarely seen simply because five-fold symmetry is mathematically forbidden in a 2D or 3D periodic lattices. Fortunately, pentagon as a structural element is…

In this paper evolution of silicon surface topography, under low energy ion bombardment, is investigated at higher oblique incident angles in the range of 63\degree-83\degree. Si(100) substrates were exposed to 500 eV argon ions. Different…

We have studied the electronic properties, in relation to their structural properties, of monolayers of 1-octadecene attached on a hydrogen-terminated (111) silicon surface. The molecules are attached using the free-radical reaction between…

We demonstrate single crystal growth of wafer-scale hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), an insulating atomic thin monolayer, on high-symmetry index surface plane Cu(111). The unidirectional epitaxial growth is guaranteed by large binding energy…

Amorphous silicon films prepared by electron beam evaporation have systematically and substantially greater atomic density for higher thickness, higher growth temperature, and slower deposition rate, reaching the density of crystalline Si…

This paper reports state-of-the-art electronic structure calculations on the deposition of strontium on the technologically relevant, (001) orientated silicon surface. We identified the surface reconstructions from zero to four thirds…

It is shown that the experimentally observed inverse linear decay of surface corrugations in Si(001) (Erlebacher et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5800 (2000)) is due to the two dimensional nature of the surface in the experimental system. The…
