We present a theoretical study of lifetimes of interface states (IS) on metal-organic interfaces PTCDA/Ag(111), NTCDA/Ag(111), PFP/Ag(111), and PTCDA/Ag(100), describing and explaining the recent experimental data. By means of unfolding the…
Energy-dependent apparent step heights of two-dimensional ultra-thin Pb islands grown on the Si(111)6$\times$6Au surface have been investigated by a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy, first-principles density functional theory…
The spectral properties of up to four interacting electrons confined within a quasi one--dimensional system of finite length are determined by numerical diagonalization including the spin degree of freedom. The ground state energy is…
We analyze the effects of electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in the dynamics of a system of two or three electrons that can be trapped to a localized state and detrapped to ab extended band states of a quantum dot using a…
Quantum confinement profoundly affects the properties and interactions of electrons, holes, and excitons in nanomaterials. We apply first-principles calculations to study the effects of extreme quantum confinement on the electronic,…
The existence of an auto-detaching state of O$^-$ with a lifetime on the scale of a hundred nanoseconds is demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically. The O$^-$ lifetime values are determined using two recently developed methods.…
Single-layer atom or vacancy clusters in the presence of electromigration are studied theoretically assuming an isotropic medium. A variety of distinctive behaviors distinguish the response in the three standard limiting cases of periphery…
Carbon nanotubes provide a unique system to study one-dimensional quantization phenomena. Scanning tunneling microscopy is used to observe the electronic wave functions that correspond to quantized energy levels in short metallic carbon…
Studies of weak localization by scattering from vapor atoms for electrons on a liquid helium surface are reported. There are three contributions to the dephasing time. Dephasing by the motion of vapor atoms perpendicular to the surface is…
Various-thickness Ag islands were prepared on Si(111)-7$\times$7 using the one-step deposition at a high substrate temperature. An electronic state centered at -0.40$\sim$-0.15eV versus E$_{Fermi}$, detectable on the surface of the Ag…
An effect generated by the nonexponential behavior of the survival amplitude of an unstable state in the long time region is considered. We find that the instantaneous energy of the unstable state for a large class of models of unstable…
Electronic surface states in one-dimensional two-band TBA model are studied by use of the Green function method. The local density of states (LDOS) at successive atoms in a semi-infinite chain, even in the case of atoms distant from the…
We study exact time-evolving many-electron states of an open double quantum-dot system with an interdot Coulomb interaction. A systematic construction of the time-evolving states for arbitrary initial conditions is proposed. For any initial…
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…
The effect of vacancies on the robustness of zero-energy edge electronic states in zigzag-type graphene layer is studied at different concentrations and distributions of defects. All calculations are performed by using the Green's function…
Inelastic scattering of electrons incident on a solid surface is determined by the two properties: (i) electronic response of the target system and (ii) the detailed quantum-mechanical motion of the projectile electron inside and in the…
We report the first direct observation of the decay of the excited-state population in electrons trapped on the surface of liquid helium. The relaxation dynamics, which are governed by inelastic scattering processes in the system, are…
We study electron scattering in graphene quantum dots (GQDs) under the combined influence of a magnetic field, an energy gap, and circularly polarized laser irradiation. Using the Floquet approach and the Dirac equation, we derive the…
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,…
Recent measurements of electron escape from a non-equilibrium charged quantum dot are interpreted within a 2D separable model. The confining potential is derived from 3D self-consistent Poisson-Thomas-Fermi calculations. It is found that…
