This fully revised, updated and reorganised third edition provides a thorough introduction to
the characterisation techniques used in surface science and nanoscience today. Each …

We study the observed inhomogeneous band bending effects on cleaved MoS 2 (0001)
single-crystal surfaces. Both Mo 3d and S 2p core levels were found to shift to lower binding …

The inclusion of the global effects of semiconductor do** poses a unique challenge for
first-principles simulations, because the typically low concentration of dopants renders an …

Topologically trivial insulators can be classified into atomic insulators (AIs) and obstructed
atomic insulators (OAIs) depending on whether the Wannier charge centers are localized or …

Discontinuous (first-order) phase transitions constitute the most fundamental and
widespread type of structural transitions existing in Nature, forming a large majority of the …

The Si (111) 2× 1 is among the most investigated surfaces. Nonetheless, several issues are
still not understood. Its reconstruction is well explained in terms of the Pandey model with a …

Over the past five decades, photoemission has become one of the most popular
spectroscopies for investigating matter in its various aggregation states. It finds its …

The influence of the buckling type of the Si (111)-2× 1 surface on the electronic structure is
studied with high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling …

The modified Pandey π-bonded chain structure for the (2× 1) reconstruction of the Si (111)
surface has two nearly degenerate structures in which one or the other of two atoms in the π …

The incorporation of Li atoms into Si (111) is studied with the aid of density functional theory
(DFT). We find that Li adsorption removes the (1× 2) reconstruction on this surface. For the …
