The surface structure of Bi(110) has been investigated by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity analysis and by first-principles calculations. Diffraction patterns at a sample temperature of 110 K and normal incidence reveal a…
The results of ultra-high vacuum low-temperature scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) of atomically clean (111) surface of the topological insulator Bi$_2$Se$_3$ are presented. We observed several types of new…
Four-point measurements using a multi-tip scanning tunneling microscope (STM) are carried out in order to determine surface and step conductivities on Si(111) surfaces. In a first step, distance-dependent four-point measurements in the…
Bismuth (Bi) atomic layers are known as 2D topological materials with variety of the electronic structures and topological orders depending on the number of stacking layers. Recently, it is reported that few layers of Bi grown on…

Pre-growth preparation of the Si(001) clean surface is a key process for Ge/Si UHV MBE. It usually includes pre-cleaning by liquid etchants, thermal pretreatment in UHV and removal of SiO2 or a different protective coat prior to MBE.…
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) in combination with density functional theory (DFT) calculations are employed to study the surface and subsurface properties of the metastable phase of the phase change material…
Heating a long-range ordered adsorbate phase beyond its stability temperature does not necessarily result in a disordered phase, it can also break up into heavily fluctuating ordered domains. Temporal and/or spatial averaging over these…
The electronic states of a single Bi(111) bilayer and its edges, suggested as a two dimensional topological insulator, are investigated by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and first-principles calculations. Well-ordered bilayer films…
