Low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy allows to probe the electronic properties of clusters at surfaces with unprecedented accuracy. By means of quantum transport theory, using realistic tunneling tips, we obtain conductance…

In the last decade rare-earth hexaborides have been investigated for their fundamental importance in condensed matter physics, and for their applications in advanced technological fields. Among these compounds, LaB$_6$ has a special place,…

The spin-polarized surface states of topological insulators have attracted interest both from a fundamental and applied point of view. A recent proposal describes a method of probing these surface states with ferromagnetic contacts, which…

A tight binding model for scanning tunneling microscopy images of a molecule adsorbed on a metal surface is described. The model is similar in spirit to that used to analyze conduction along molecular wires connecting two metal leads and…

A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with a magnetic tip that has a sufficiently strong spin-polarization can be used to map the sample's spin structure down to the atomic scale but usually lacks the possibility to absolutely determine the…

We prove that scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of sub-surface Mn atoms in GaAs are formed by hybridization of the impurity state with intrinsic surface states. They cannot be interpreted in terms of bulk-impurity wavefunction…

Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SP-STM) experiments on ultrathin films with non-collinear spin textures demonstrate that resonant tunneling allows for atomic-scale spin-sensitive imaging in real space at tip-sample distances…

In this paper we study topological surfaces as gridded surfaces in the 2-dimensional scaffolding of cubic honeycombs in Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces.

Quasiparticle states near the surface of a quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductor $({TMTSF})_{2}{PF}_6$ are studied based on an extended Hubbard model on a quasi-one dimensional lattice at quarter-filling. Three types of pairing…

Simulations of scanning tunneling microscopy measurements for molecules on surfaces are traditionally based on a perturbative approach, most typically employing the Tersoff-Hamann method. This assumes that the STM tip is far from the sample…

Atoms at liquid metal surfaces are known to form layers parallel to the surface. We analyze the two-dimensional arrangement of atoms within such layers at the surface of liquid sodium, using ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) simulations…

Surface alloying is a straightforward route to control and modify the structure and electronic properties of surfaces. Here, We present a systematical study on the structural and electronic properties of three novel rare earth-based…

TaSb$_2$, a member of the transition metal dipnictide family of materials, hosts the very rare dual topological phase - weak topological insulating state and topological crystalline insulating state along different crystallographic…

The notion of strong electronic correlations arose in the context of $d$-metal oxides such as NiO but can be exemplified on systems as simple as the H$_2$ molecule. Here we shed light on correlation effects on B$_6^{2-}$ clusters as found…

This study presents a comprehensive first-principles investigation of the optoelectronic and thermoelectric properties of aluminum antimonide (AlSb) in its cubic (F-43m) and hexagonal (P63mc) phases. Structural optimization was performed…

Tunneling spectroscopy of epitaxial (100) oriented \chem{YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}} films was performed using an STM at 4.2 K. On atomically smooth areas, tunneling spectra revealing clear U-shaped gaps with relatively low zero bias conductance…

We have used ion-irradiation to damage the (001) surfaces of SmB_6 single crystals to varying depths, and have measured the resistivity as a function of temperature for each depth of damage. We observe a reduction in the residual…

We present a study of the rubidium adsorption on the Si(111)-(7x7) surface and the related Rb-induced reconstructions as a function of deposition temperature and Rb-coverage via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron…

We present self-consistent ab-initio total-energy and electronic-structure calculations on stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric TiO2 (110) surfaces. Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) topographs are simulated by calculating the local…

We have investigated the band structure and the band symmetry of mixed-valence insulator SmB$_{6}$ systematically within the density functional theory (DFT). We have analyzed the symmetries and characters of Sm $4f$ and $5d$ bands near the…
