One of the outstanding advancements in electronic‐structure density‐functional methods is
the Sankey–Niklewski (SN) approach [Sankey and Niklewski, Phys. Rev. B 40, 3979 (1989)]; …

Many quasi-one-dimensional (1D) materials are experimental approximations to the
textbook models of Peierls instabilities and collective excitations in 1D electronic systems …

Chirality-driven optical properties in charge density waves are of fundamental and practical
importance. Here, we investigate the interaction between circularly polarized light and …

Transient control over the atomic potential-energy landscapes of solids could lead to new
states of matter and to quantum control of nuclear motion on the timescale of lattice …

Wires having a width of one or two atoms are the smallest possible physical objects that may
exhibit one-dimensional properties. In order to be experimentally accessible at finite …

Density functional theory calculations are performed to determine the mechanism and origin
of the intensively debated (4× 1)–(8× 2) phase transition of the Si (111)-In nanowire array …

We used ultrafast electron diffraction and density-functional theory calculations to gain
insight into the charge density wave (CDW) formation on In/Si (111). Weak excitation by a …

Light-control of structural dynamics at surfaces promises switching of chemical and physical
functionality at rates limited only by the velocity of directed atomic motion. Following optical …

In stark contrast to the conventional charge density wave (CDW) materials, the one-
dimensional CDW on the In/Si (111) surface exhibits immediate dam** of the CDW …

Metallic nanowires are of great interest as interconnects in nanoelectronic devices. They
also represent important systems for understanding the complexity of electronic interactions …
