This article reviews the progress of atomic force microscopy in ultrahigh vacuum, starting
with its invention and covering most of the recent developments. Today, dynamic force …

The semiconductor industry has seen a remarkable miniaturization trend, driven by many
scientific and technological innovations. But if this trend is to continue, and provide ever …

Many important energy-transfer and optical processes, in both biological and artificial
systems, depend crucially on excitonic coupling that spans several chromophores,,,,,,,,. Such …

Topological materials exhibit protected edge modes that have been proposed for
applications in, for example, spintronics and quantum computation. Although a number of …

Advances in high-resolution and spin-resolved scanning tunnelling microscopy, as well as
atomic-scale manipulation, have enabled the bottom-up, atom-by-atom creation and …

Using remarkably simple experimental techniques it is possible to gently break a metallic
contact and thus form conducting nanowires. During the last stages of the pulling a neck …

Quantum scars refer to eigenstates with enhanced probability density along unstable
classical periodic orbits. First predicted 40 years ago, scars are special eigenstates that …

The focusing of electric current by a single pn junction in graphene is theoretically predicted.
Precise focusing may be achieved by fine-tuning the densities of carriers on the n-and p …
