Systems of adatoms on semiconductor surfaces display competing ground states and exotic spectral properties typical of two-dimensional correlated electron materials which are dominated by a complex interplay of spin and charge degrees of…

We present ab initio local-density-functional electronic structure calculations for the (111) and (-1-1-1) surfaces of cubic BN. The energetically stable reconstructions, namely the N adatom, N3 triangle models on the (111), the (2x1),…

We present a comprehensive theoretical investigation of the electron-phonon contribution to the lifetime broadening of the surface states on Cu(111) and Ag(111), in comparison with high-resolution photoemission results. The calculations,…

Using density functional theory, we investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of $3d$ transition-metal adatoms adsorbed on a monolayer of Mn on W(110). Mn/W(110) has a noncollinear cycloidal spin-spiral ground state with an angle…

We examine theoretically the signatures of magnetic adatoms in graphene probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS). When the adatom hybridizes equally with the two graphene sublattices, the broadening of the local adatom level is…

Surface alloying is shown to produce electronic states with a very large spin-splitting. We discuss the long range ordered bismuth/silver(111) surface alloy where an energy bands separation of up to one eV is achieved. Such strong…

When two or more atoms bind to a solid surface, the substrate can mediate an interaction between them. In this paper, we use density-functional theory to quantify the substrate-mediated pair interaction between two adatoms on a…

We address the nature of the disordered state that results from the adsorption of adatoms in graphene. For adatoms that sit at the center of the honeycomb plaquette, as in the case of most transition metals, we show that the ones that form…

In low temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments a cerium adatom on Ag(100) possesses two discrete states with significantly different apparent heights. These atomic switches also exhibit a Kondo-like feature in…

We present a theoretical study of resonance characteristics in graphene from adatoms with $s$ or $p_z$ character binding in top, bridge, and hollow positions. The adatoms are described by two tight-binding parameters: onsite energy and…

The density of two-dimensional Ag adatom gases on W(110) is determined by monitoring local electron reflectivity using low energy electron microscopy (LEEM). This method of adatom concentration measurement can detect changes in adatom…

We derive expressions for the lossy boundary-scattering contribution to the linewidth of surface electronic states confined with atomic corrals and island resonators. Correcting experimentally measured linewidths for these contributions…

We present a theoretical many-body analysis of the electron-electron (e-e) inelastic damping rate $\Gamma$ of electron-like excitations in the Shockley surface state band of Ag(111). It takes into account ab-initio band structures for both…

Elastic eta-d scattering is considered within the Alt-Grassberger-Sandhas (AGS) formalism for various eta-N input data. A three-body resonant state is found close to the eta-d threshold. This resonance is sustained for different choices of…

We have performed single-atom magnetization curve (SAMC) measurements and inelastic scanning tunneling spectroscopy (ISTS) on individual Fe atoms on a Cu(111) surface. The SAMCs show a broad distribution of magnetic moments with…

Superconducting resonators are widely used in many applications such as qubit readout for quantum computing, and kinetic inductance detectors. These resonators are susceptible to numerous loss and noise mechanisms, especially the…

The strong Coulomb correlations effects in the electronic structure of magnetic Co adatom on the Pt(111) surface have been investigated. Using a realistic five d-orbital impurity Anderson model at low temperatures with parameters determined…

We study Andreev bound state (ABS) and surface density of state (SDOS) of non-centrosymmetric superconductor where spin-singlet $d$-wave pairing mixes with spin-triplet $p$ (or $f)$-wave one by spin-orbit coupling. For $d_{xy} + p$-wave…

Due to underlying symmetries the ground states of magnetic adatoms may be highly stable, which opens perspectives for application as single-atom memory. A specific example is a single holmium atom (with $J=8$) on a platinum (111) surface…

We model electronic properties of the second monolayer Na adatom islands (quantum dots) on the Cu(111) surface covered homogeneously by the first Na monolayer. An axially-symmetric three-dimensional jellium model, taking into account the…
