Atomic scale nanowires attract enormous interest in a wide range of fields. On the one hand,
due to their quasi-one-dimensional nature, they can act as an experimental testbed for …

The geometry and electronic structure of self-assembled atomic scale Au wires on Si (775)
are investigated within density functional theory. The calculated surface diagram indicates …

The intensively studied Si (111)-(5× 2)-Au surface is reexamined using reflectance
anisotropy spectroscopy and density functional theory simulations. We identify distinctive …

We propose a quantitative and reversible method for tuning the charge localization of Au-
stabilized stepped Si surfaces by site-specific hydrogenation. This is demonstrated for Si …

Hybrid DFT calculations of atomic structure, electronic band structure, and reflectance
anisotropy (RA) are used to correlate atomic and electronic structures and optical transitions …

The conductivity of substrate‐supported metallic nanowires can be adjusted, eg, by strain or
adsorbates. In this article, the effect of atomic hydrogen and toluene‐3, 4‐dithiol (TDT) …

This chapter reviews the principles behind the theory and computation of interband
transitions at surfaces. Particular emphasis is given to state-of-the-art ab-initio …

Stepped gold‐stabilized Si (111) surfaces offer much potential for self‐organized assembly
of one‐and two‐dimensional nanostructured arrays of organic molecules due to the …

Metallic nanowires grown by self-organisation on Si surfaces may be interesting for future
applications in Si based nanotechnology, but they will also show unique physical …

Clean vicinal surfaces exhibit a stepped pattern due to the presence of narrow terraces
formed on a clean surface. Therefore, this provides a platform for the aligned growth of …
