This report features the recent progress in understanding the behaviour of atoms and
valence electrons involved in the process of oxidation, and some technological development …

In the last couple of decades, high-performance electronic and optoelectronic devices based
on semiconductor heterostructures have been required to obtain increasingly strict and well …

We have studied by means of density functional theory (DFT) plane-wave calculations the
adsorption properties of ultrathin MgO films grown on Mo (100) as function of the thickness …

The electronic properties of unsupported and supported NiO films on Ag (100) have been
studied theoretically using two methods. Results from density functional theory using the …

The magnetic properties of low dimensional ferromagnetic systems have been widely
investigated over the past decades, since they present exotic new features that cannot be …

Ultra-thin oxide films grown on a metal substrate and of thickness smaller than 1 nm may
exhibit unusual properties with respect to thicker films or single crystal oxide surfaces. In a …

We report high-resolution polarization-dependent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS)
at the OK resonance of NiO showing a rich excitation spectrum. We perform multisite Ni 6 O …

We report thickness dependence of magnetic linear dichroism (MLD) of in situ grown NiO
(001) films on Ag (001) substrate at the Ni L2 absorption edge. Antiferromagnetic domains at …

A periodic slab model consisting of five layers of Ag covered on both sides by NiO
monolayers has been adopted to simulate the properties of ultrathin layers of nickel oxide …

This paper reports a structural study of 3 and 10 monolayer (ML) thick NiO films grown on Ag
(001). Polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Ni K edge allowed us to …
