Graphene epitaxially grown on Ru(0001) displays a remarkably ordered pattern of hills and valleys in Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) images. To which extent the observed "ripples" are structural or electronic in origin have been much…
We compare the optical response of isolated nanowires, double-wire systems, and Pi-structures, and show that their radiation is well described in terms of their electric and magnetic dipole moments. We also show that both dielectric…
The mechanisms of ripple formation on silicon surface by femtosecond laser pulses are investigated. We demonstrate the transient evolution of the density of the excited free-carriers. As a result, the experimental conditions required for…
Patterned magnetic nanostructures are advanced materials characterized by their unique magnetic properties at the nanoscale, which are the result of tailored geometric configurations and compositional engineering. As interest in…
A Reflective Intelligent Surface (RIS) consists of many small reflective elements whose reflection properties can be adjusted to change the wireless propagation environment. Envisioned implementations require that each RIS element be…
Nanoscale polar structures are significant for understanding polarization processes in low-dimensional systems and hold potential for developing high-performance electronics. Here, we demonstrate a polar vortex superstructure arising from…
Density functional theory and molecular dynamics simulations have been used to optimize the structure of nanowires of SiO2. The starting structures were based on b-cristobalite, orthotridymite, b-tridymite, and rutile crystals. The analysis…
A general linear stability analysis of simple metal nanowires is presented using a continuum approach which correctly accounts for material-specific surface properties and electronic quantum-size effects. The competition between surface…
A microscopic approach is developed to scattering of surface states from a non-magnetic linear defect at a surface with strong spin-orbit interaction. Spin-selective reflection resonances in scattering of Rashba-split surface states by an…
We report narrow quadrupolar surface lattice resonances (SLRs) under normal incidence, and the observation, for the first time, of the band reversal effect of SLRs supported by a vertical metal-insulator-metal nanograting, which is embedded…
Herein we report experimental evidence of directional SERS from molecules situated inside a single nanowire-nanoparticle junction cavity. The emission was confined to a narrow range of wavevectors perpendicular to the axis of the cavity. In…
Computer simulations suggest that ultrathin metal wires should develop exotic, non-crystalline stable atomic structures, once their diameter decreases below a critical size of the order of a few atomic spacings. The new structures, whose…
We investigate theoretically the optical properties associated to plasmon resonances of metal nanowires with cross section given by low-order Chebyshev nanoparticles (like rounded-tip nanostars or nanoflowers). The impact of the nanoflower…
When a solid object or wheel is repeatedly dragged on a dry sandy surface, ripple patterns are formed. Although the conditions to form ripple patterns have been studied well, methods to eliminate the developed ripple patterns have not been…
In this paper, we investigate the ruled surfaces generated by a straight line according to rotation minimizing frame (RMF). Using this frame of a straight line, we obtained the necessary and sufficient conditions when the ruled surface is…
Rashba spin-orbit coupling is a quintessential spin interaction appearing in virtually any electronic heterostructure. Its paradigmatic spin texture in the momentum space forms a tangential vector field. Using first-principles…
We show that the decay of sinusoidal ripples on crystal surfaces, where mass transport is limited by the attachment and detachment of atoms at the step-edges, is remarkably different from the decay behavior that has been reported until now.…
We describe a strategy for using resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS) to study the electronic structure of transition metal oxide quantum wires. Using electron beam lithography and ion milling, we have produced periodic, patterned arrays…
We have reported nanopattern formation on carbon thin film and Si(100) surfaces by low energy inert and carbon ion beams. It is interesting to observe the role of carbon as target as well as projectile for nano patterning. Using carbon thin…
We present that surface two-plasmon resonance (STPR) in electron plasma sheet produced by femtosecond laser irradiating metal surface is the self-formation mechanism of periodic subwavelength ripple structures. Peaks of overdense electrons…
