Electron-hole excitation and relaxation in the bulk, at interfaces, and surfaces of solid state
materials play a key role in a variety of physical and chemical phenomena that are important …

▪ Abstract The problem of the binding of an excess electron to polar molecules and their
clusters has long fascinated researchers. Although excess electrons bound to such species …

A well known semiconductor Cd3As2 has reentered the spotlight due to its unique electronic
structure and quantum transport phenomena as a topological Dirac semimetal. For …

Magnetic materials have become controllable on the nanometre scale. Such fine structures
exhibit a wide range of fascinating phenomena, such as lowdimensional magnetism …

More than five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published. Surface
science is still a very active field of research, and the fact that the Nobel Prize 2007 in …

We present self-consistent pseudopotential calculations of both surface and image potential
states on simple metal surfaces: Li (110), Na (110), Be (0001), Mg (0001), Al (100), and Al …

Time-resolved two-photon photoemission in combination with the coherent excitation of
several quantum states was used to study the ultrafast electron dynamics of image-potential …

The present report deals with the main aspects of the interaction of slow (impact velocity
typically below 1 au) multicharged ions (MCI) with atomically clean solid surfaces of metals …

Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) at molecule-metal or molecule-semiconductor interfaces
is of interest to many research fields. Examples include, among others, photocatalysis, 1-3 …

Using inverse photoemission and photoemission we find that the bulk bands become
discretized in highly perfect layer structures, such as Cu on fcc Co (100), Cu on fcc Fe (100) …
