Vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) route and its variants are routinely used for scalable synthesis of semiconducting nanowires yet the fundamental growth processes remain unknown. Here, we employ atomic-scale computations based on model potentials…

We use a one-dimensional step model to study quantitatively the growth of step bunches on Si(111) surfaces induced by a direct heating current. Parameters in the model are fixed from experimental measurements near 900 deg C under the…

This communication covers investigation of the structural properties of surfaces of Si epitaxial layers deposited on different Si(001) vicinal substrates. We have shown processes of generation and growth of surface defects to depend on tilt…

We present a detailed study of the structural and electronic properties of a self-assembled silicon nanoline embedded in the H-terminated silicon (001) surface, known as the Haiku stripe. The nanoline is a perfectly straight and defect free…

The geometrical and electronic properties of the monolayer (ML) of tetracene (Tc) molecules on Ag(111) are systematically investigated by means of DFT calculations with the use of localized basis set. The bridge and hollow adsorption…

Scanning tunneling microscopy experiments show that the unstable growth morphology observed during molecular beam homoepitaxy on slightly vicinal Si(001) surfaces consists of straight step bunches. The instability occurs under step- flow…

We report the fabrication of a low cost, and highly reproducible large scale surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrate using an inkjet-printed Ag nanoparticle ink (AgNI). The AgNI SERS substrates were evaluated for SERS using BPY as a…

In this Letter, we present the first non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) of a silicene on silver (Ag) surface, obtained by combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). STM images…

GaN(0001) surfaces with Ga- and H-adsorbates are fundamental stages for epitaxial growth of semiconductor thin films. We explore stable surface structures with nanometer scale by the density-functional calculations combined with Bayesian…

By using first-principles calculations, we systematically investigated several observed phases of silicene on Ag(111) substrates and their electronic structures. We find that the original Dirac cone of silicene is about 1.5-1.7 eV deeply…

The influence of substrate steps on the bottom-up synthesis of atomically precise graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) on an Au(111) surface is investigated. A straight surface step is found to promote the assembly of long and compact arrays of…

To help provide insight into the remarkable catalytic behavior of the oxygen/silver system for heterogeneous oxidation reactions, purely sub-surface oxygen, and structures involving both on-surface and sub-surface oxygen, as well as…

We compare the electron dynamics at monocrystalline Cu(111), Au(100) and Pd(111) precursor substrates with vicinal nanosteps. The unoccupied bands of a surface superlattice are populated \textit{via} the resonant charge transfer (RCT)…

Hybrid Monte Carlo (MC)/molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are conducted to study the microstructures of nanocrystalline (nc) Cu/Ag alloys with various Ag concentrations. When the Ag concentration is below 50 Ag atoms/nm!, an increase in…

We have fabricated 5nm-high Fe(110) stripes by self-organized (SO) growth on a slightly vicinal R(110)/Al2O3(11-20) surface, with R=Mo, W. Remanence, coercivity and domain patterns were observed at room temperature (RT). This contrasts with…

The morphology of GaN samples grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) was systematically studied as a function of impinging Ga/N flux ratio and growth temperature (750-850{\deg}C).Two different growth regimes were…

We study the electron dynamics at a monocrystalline Pd(111) surface with stepped vicinal nanostructures modeled in a simple Kronig-Penney scheme. The unoccupied bands of the surface are resonantly excited \textit{via} the resonant charge…

We report the growth of Si nanostructures, either as thin films or nanoparticles, on graphene substrates. The Si nanostructures are shown to be single crystalline, air stable and oxidation resistive, as indicated by the observation of a…

Pattern formation induced by wrinkling is a very common phenomenon exhibited in soft-matter substrates. In all these systems wrinkles develop in presence of compressively stressed thin films lying on compliant substrates. Here we…

We combine experimental observations by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and density functional theory (DFT) to reveal the most stable edge structures of graphene on Ni(111) as well as the role of stacking-driven activation and…
