We demonstrate the Au-assisted growth of semiconductor nanowires on different engineered substrates. Two relevant cases are investigated: GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures capped by a $50 {\rm nm}$-thick InAs layer grown by molecular beam…
Semiconductor nanowires are believed to play a crucial role for future applications in electronics, spintronics and quantum technologies. A potential candidate is HgTe but its sensitivity to nanofabrication processes restrain its…
Bulk FeSe is superconducting with a critical temperature $T_c$ $\cong$ 8 K and SrTiO$_3$ is insulating in nature, yet high-temperature superconductivity has been reported at the interface between a single-layer FeSe and SrTiO$_3$. Angle…
A single-crystal sheet of graphene is synthesized on the low-symmetry substrate Ir(110) by thermal decomposition of C$_2$H$_4$ at 1500 K. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, angle-resolved photoemission…
Systems with flat bands are ideal for studying strongly correlated electronic states and related phenomena. Among them, kagome-structured metals such as CoSn have been recognized as promising candidates due to the proximity between the flat…
We present a method for density-functional modeling of metallic overlayers grown on metallic supports. It offers a tool to study nanostructures and combines the power of self-consistent pseudopotential calculations with the simplicity of a…
Isolated oxygen impurities and fully oxidized structures of four stable two-dimensional (2D) SiS structures are investigated by {\em ab initio} density functional calculations. Binding energies of oxygen impurities for all the four 2D SiS…
Inspired by adhesive bio-filamentous structure, such as bacterial pili, this work details the methods used to fabricate and characterize a surface-anchored array of thin, flexible and shape-responsive mesoscale polymer ribbons with a…
High-quality and sizable single crystals are crucial for studying the intrinsic properties of unconventional superconductors, which are lacking in the 1111 phase of the Fe-based superconductors. Here we report the successful growth of…
Superconducting boron doped silicon is a promising material for integrated silicon quantum devices. In particular, its low electronic density and moderate disorder make it a suitable candidate for the fabrication of large inductances with…
We develop a method to design tunable quasiperiodic structures of particles suspended in a fluid by controlling standing acoustic waves. One application of our results is to ultrasound directed self-assembly, which allows fabricating…
Unintentionally formed interfacial layers are ubiquitous in semiconductor devices that operate at extreme conditions. However, these layers' structure and properties often remain unknown due to the thinness of these naturally formed…
We present ultra-shallow diffusion profiles performed by short-time diffusion of boron from the gas phase using controlled surface injection of self-interstitials and vacancies into the n-type Si(100) wafers. The diffusion profiles of this…
Silicon thin films for coverages ($\theta$) between 0.3 and 3 monolayers have been grown on rutile \ce{TiO2}(110)-(1x1) at room temperature and studied by x-ray and ultra-violet photoelectron spectroscopies, Auger electron spectroscopy, and…
In this work, we studied the adsorption behavior of deposited Si atoms along with their diffusion and other dynamic processes on a Pb monolayer-covered Si(111) surface from 125-230 K using a variable-temperature scanning tunneling…
The origin of the insulating state in 1T-TaS$_2$ has long been a subject of debate. A short current pulse transforms this insulating state into a metastable metallic phase. Using micro-ARPES, we investigate the electronic structure of this…
Reconstruction of the Fermi surface of high-temperature superconducting cuprates in the pseudogap state is analyzed within nearly exactly solvable model of the pseudogap state, induced by short-range order fluctuations of antiferromagnetic…
Opals are naturally occurring photonic crystals which can be formed easily using low-cost self-assembly methods. While the optical behaviour of opals has received significant attention over the last number of decades, there is limited…
We present a superconductor-semiconductor material system that is both scalable and monolithically integrated on a silicon substrate. It uses selective area growth of Al-InAs hybrid structures on a planar III-V buffer layer, grown directly…
It has recently been shown that submonolayer Pd on W(110) forms highly-ordered linear mesoscopic stripes at high temperatures. The stripes display an internal Pd superstructure with a nano-scale periodicity along the direction perpendicular…
