In recent years, optical second-harmonic generation has matured into a versatile and
powerful technique for probing the electronic and structural properties of buried solid–solid …

The present report deals with the main aspects of the interaction of hydrogen with the
atomically clean crystalline silicon surfaces and submonolayer metal/silicon interfaces. After …

Designed as a textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in engineering
and physical sciences who are seeking a general overview of surface science, this book …

More than five years have passed since the first edition of this book was published. Surface
science is still a very active field of research, and the fact that the Nobel Prize 2007 in …

Owing to the development of efficient algorithms and the improvement of computer power it
is now possible to map out potential energy surfaces (PESs) of reactions at surfaces in great …

A fast, effective process using hydrogen annealing is introduced to perform profile
transformation on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) and to reduce sidewall roughness on silicon …

The dissociative adsorption of molecular hydrogen on silicon is considered to be the
prototype for an activated chemical reaction at a semiconductor surface. The covalent nature …

Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) from silicon surfaces may be resonantly
enhanced by dangling-bond-derived surface states. The resulting high sensitivity to …

Three different clusters, Si 9 H 12, Si 15 H 16, and Si 21 H 20, are used in density-functional
theory calculations in conjunction with ab initio pseudopotentials to study how the energetics …

Porous Silicon (PS) freestanding film is a derivative of single crystal Si wafer. PS films
obtained on electrochemical etching of p-type silicon (Si) wafer were used to synthesize Si …
