This work unravels the atomic details of the interaction of solute atoms with nanoscale crystalline defects. The complexity of this phenomenon is elucidated through detailed atom probe tomographic investigations on epitaxially-strained,…

A hidden truncation hyperbolic (HTH) distribution is introduced and finite mixtures thereof are applied for clustering. A stochastic representation of the HTH distribution is given and a density is derived. A hierarchical representation is…

Molecular Dynamics simulations are reported for the structural and thermodynamic properties of submonolayer xenon adsorbed on the $(111)$ surface of platinum for temperatures up to the (apparently incipient) triple point and beyond. While…

Aluminum alloys, the most widely utilized lightweight structural materials, predominantly depend on coherent complex-structured nano-plates to enhance their mechanical properties. Despite several decades of research, the atomic-scale…

Advanced hydrogen lithography techniques and low-temperature epitaxial overgrowth enable patterning of highly phosphorus-doped silicon (Si:P) monolayers (ML) with atomic precision. This approach to device fabrication has made Si:P monolayer…

Planar, disordered assemblies of small particles incorporated in layered media -- sometimes called ``disordered metasurfaces'' in the recent literature -- are becoming widespread in optics and photonics. Their ability to scatter light with…

The deposition of one silicon monolayer on the silver (111) substrate in the temperature range 150-300$^\circ$C, gives rise to a mix of (4$\times$4), ($2\sqrt{3}\times 2\sqrt{3}$)R30$^\circ$ and ($\sqrt{13}\times\sqrt{13}$)R13.9$^\circ$…

We comment and discuss the findings and conclusions of a recent theoretical study of the diffraction of He atoms from a monolayer of Xe atoms adsorbed on the graphite (0001) surface [Khokonov et al., Surf. Sci. 496(2002)L13]. By revisiting…

We study the variation of the mean cross section with the density of the samples in the quantum scattering of a particle by a disordered target. The target consists of a set of pointlike scatterers, each having an equal probability of being…

Scanning tunneling microscopy combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveal a dislocation-mediated island diffusion mechanism for Cu on Ag(111), a highly mismatched system. Cluster motion is tracked with atomic precision at multiple…

Mixture quality plays a crucial role in the physical properties of multi-component immiscible polymer mixtures including nanocomposites and polymer blends. Such complex mixtures are often characterized by hierarchical internal structures,…

We present a quantum Monte Carlo study of the structure and energetics of silver doped helium clusters AgHe$_n$ for $n$ up to 100. Our simulations show the first solvation shell of the Ag atom to be composed by roughly 20 He atoms, and to…

We present helium atom micro-diffraction as an ideal technique for characterization of 2D materials due to its ultimate surface sensitivity combined with sub-micron spatial resolution. Thermal energy neutral helium scatters from the valence…

The measurement and analysis of electron scattering from He-3 and He-4 by Sick and collaborators reported 20 years ago remains a matter of current interest. By unfolding the measured free-proton charge distribution, they deduced a…

The $^{4}$He nucleus is a well bound and highly correlated four-nucleon system that is also found in form of $\alpha$-clusters as substructure in nuclear many-body systems. The standard single-particle shell model cannot represent these…

We investigated the initial growth of TiTe$_2$ on Au(111) from sub-monolayer to multi-layer coverage by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction intensity analysis (LEED-IV), and density functional theory (DFT).…

A dense cloud of atoms with randomly changing positions exhibits coherent and incoherent scattering. We show that an atomic cloud of subwavelength dimensions can be modeled as a single scatterer where both coherent and incoherent components…

From the spread of pollutants in the atmosphere to the transmission of nutrients across cell membranes, anomalous diffusion processes are ubiquitous in natural systems. The ability to understand and control the mechanisms guiding such…

We investigate the potential of mutual scattering, i.e., light scattering with multiple properly phased incident beams, as a method to extract structural information from inside an opaque object. In particular, we study how sensitively the…

The neutralization of low energy Na$^+$ and Li$^+$ ions scattered from Au nanoclusters formed by deposition onto oxide surfaces decreases as the cluster size increases. An explanation for this behavior is provided here, which is based on…
