We demonstrate by using density functional calculations that the In/Si (111)-7× 3 surface
consists of an In double layer, contrary to the prevailing idea that the In overlayer on this …

The atomic structure of a superconducting atomic sheet of indium grown on Si (111) surface,
ie, In/Si (111)-7× 3, is determined by using surface x-ray diffraction (SXRD) and low-energy …

Density-functional calculations are used to identify one-atom-thick metallic In phases grown
on the Si (111) surface, which have long been sought in quest of the ultimate two …

Atomic sandwiches consisting of In layers with coverages ranging from∼ 0.5 to∼ 2.5
monolayers atop a single-atomic-layer NiSi 2 have been grown on Si (111) and have been …

The Si (111) 2× 2-In reconstruction can be considered as a precursor phase for the
formation of the metallic 7× 3 phases of In overlayers on a Si (111) surface. Using the ab …

We have studied the In/Si (1 1 1)()-hex and striped phases by low-energy electron diffraction
(LEED) and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The two phases are …

2D oxide quasicrystals (OQCs) are unique structures arising from atoms positioned at the
vertices of a dodecagonal triangle–square–rhombus tiling. The prototypical example for …

Density-functional calculations are used to verify the atomic structure of the hexagonal In/Si
(111)-(7× 3) surface, which has been considered to represent an ultimate two-dimensional …

We have studied the atomic structure and phase transition of a dense metallic monolayer of
In on Si (111). Although the monolayer phase was previously considered to have a (7× 3) …

Density functional calculations predict that the In/Si (111)-(2× 2) surface, a key intermediate
phase leading to the complex In phase development on Si (111), consists of an intriguing …
