We present the results of a systematic study of the reconstruction of the Si (100) surface
based upon total energies calculated within the framework of the local-density …

The spectroscopy of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) systems has been a subject of strong
interest since the first experimental observations of unusual line shapes in the early 1990s …

Pt atoms adsorbed onto Ge (001) surface form extremely well-ordered nanowire arrays by
self-organization after high-temperature annealing. Using scanning tunneling spectroscopy …

Both cluster and extended slab models for the bare Si (001) surface and for acetylene
chemisorbed on that surface were studied by various theoretical methods. Our calculations …

Gold deposition onto Ge (001) at 675 K led to self-organized atomic chains in (4× 2) and c
(8× 2) surface reconstructions. The chains were separated by 1.6 nm and ran up to several …

An unexplored material of copper boride has been realized recently in two-dimensional form
at a (111) surface of the fcc copper crystal. Here, one-dimensional (1-D) boron growth was …

A number of different families of nanowires which self-assemble on semiconductor surfaces
have been identified in recent years. They are particularly interesting from the standpoint of …

Submonolayer coverages of Al were evaporated onto hydrogen-terminated Si (001)−(2× 1)
surfaces and studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Nanoscale patterns of bare …

Indium and gallium have been shown to self-assemble on the surface of Si (001) into long
single atom wide chains in a structure known as the parallel dimer structure. Previous …

The temperature dependent adsorption of sulfur on TiO2 (110) has been studied with X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), and low-energy …
