Since the initial landmark study on the chiral induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect in 1999,
considerable experimental and theoretical efforts have been made to understand the …

As a consequence of Liouville's theorem, the momentum spread and the emittance in
charged-particle beams cannot be reduced by means of ion optics. This limits the number of …

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is traditionally the Cinderella of electron microscopy,
often seen as a playground for biologists and other disciplines remote from physics, and …

The increasingly prominent role of light in information processing makes optoelectronic
devices a technology of fundamental importance. Coherent control of currents in …

necessary? 2 1.2. 2 Production of ultrahigh vacuum 3 1.2. 3 Pressure measurement 4 1.2. 4 …

The rapid growth of the subject since the first edition ten years ago has made it necessary to
rewrite the greater part of the book. Except for the introductory portion and the section on …

The recent experimental progress in spin-polarized scanning tunnelling microscopy (SP-
STM)—a magnetically sensitive imaging technique with ultra-high resolution—is reviewed …

Much of our understanding of the atomic-scale magnetic structure and the dynamical
properties of solids and liquids was gained from neutron-scattering studies. Elastic and …

Recently discovered materials called three-dimensional topological insulators,,,, constitute
examples of symmetry-protected topological states in the absence of applied magnetic fields …

Angle-resolved photoemission is shown to be a very versatile technique which probes
electronic structure as well as geometric structure. All quantum numbers of an electronic …
