The electrical conductance and RHEED intensities as a function of the coverage have been measured during Pb depositions at 105 K on Si(111)-(6x6)Au with up to 4.2 ML of annealed Pb. The experiments show the strong influence of used…

We report a photoemission and x-ray absorption study on Au1-xPtxTe2 (x = 0 and 0.35) triangular lattice in which superconductivity is induced by Pt substitution for Au. Au 4f and Te 3d core-level spectra of AuTe2 suggests a valence state of…

Atomic-sized lead (Pb) contacts are deposited and dissolved in an electrochemical environment, and their transport properties are measured. Due to the electrochemical fabrication process, we obtain mechanically unstrained contacts and…

Single layer Pb on top of (111) surfaces of group IV semiconductors hosts charge density wave and superconductivity depending on the coverage and on the substrate. These systems are normally considered to be experimental realizations of…

The structural and electronic properties of Si(335)-Au surface decorated with Pb atoms are studied by means of density-functional theory. The resulting structural model features Pb atoms bonded to neighboring Si and Au surface atoms,…

We examined the effect of Pb substitution in the layered superconductor LaO0.5F0.5Bi1-xPbxS2 (x=0~0.15) through the measurements of the resistivity, thermal expansion, specific heat, and Seebeck coefficient. These transport and thermal…

The electronic, phonon and thermoelectric transport properties of (PbTe)2 layer are systematically investigated by using first-principles pseudopotential method and Boltzmann transport equation. Our calculations demonstrate that there is a…

Passivating lithium ion battery electrode surfaces to prevent electrolyte decomposition is critical for battery operations. Recent work on conformal atomic layer deposition (ALD) coating of anodes and cathodes has shown significant…

Electron conduction through quasi-one-dimensional (1D) indium atomic wires on silicon (the Si(111)-4x1-In reconstruction) is clarified with the help of local structural analysis using scanning tunneling microscopy. The reconstruction has a…

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…

The Si(111) - 7 x 7 surface is one of the most interesting semiconductor surfaces because of its complex reconstruction and fascinating electronic properties. While it is known that the Si - 7 x 7 is a conducting surface, the exact surface…

The electronic structure of Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface covered with submonolayer amount of Pb is investigated using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Already in small islands of Pb with thickness of 1 ML Pb$_{(111)}$ and with the diameter of…

By using a first-principles approach, monolayer PbI$_2$ is found to have great potential in thermoelectric applications. The linear Boltzmann transport equation is applied to obtain the perturbation to the electron distribution by different…

The charge-carrier transport properties of ultrathin metallic films are analysed with ab-initio methods using the density functional theory (DFT) on free-standing single crystalline slabs in the thickness range between 1 and 8 monolayers…

Since Br adsorption on Au(100) displays an incommensurate ordered phase, a lattice-gas treatment of the adlayer configurations is not reliable. We therefore use density functional theory slab calculations to determine the parameters…

We report on measurements of the electrical conductivity in both a 2D triangular lattice of metallic beads and in a chain of beads. The voltage/current characteristics are qualitatively similar in both experiments. At low applied current,…

Atomic configurations of two or three Pd substituents on the Au(111) surface are investigated using the first-principles pseudopotential plane wave approach. Pd atoms are found to form second neighborhoods on PdAu(111). The Pd-d band…

Lots of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been predicted theoretically, and further confirmed in experiment, which have wide applications in nanoscale electronic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric devices. Here, the thermoelectric…

We describe the evolution of the SU(4) Kondo effect as the number of magnetic centers increases from one impurity to the two-dimensional (2D) lattice. We derive a Hubbard-Anderson model which describes a 2D array of atoms or molecules with…

First-principles calculation was used to study the structural and electronic features of the low dimensional oxide structure, SrTiO_{3}/Sr_{1-x}La_{x}TiO_{3} (x=0.25) superlattices, constructed by submonolayer low dimensional La doping into…
