The technology to build and study nanowires with sizes ranging from individual atoms to
tens of nanometres has been develo** rapidly over the last few years. We survey the …

A combination of angle-resolved photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy is used
to explore the possibilities for tailoring the electronic structure of gold atom chains on silicon …

The spectroscopy of quasi-one-dimensional (1D) systems has been a subject of strong
interest since the first experimental observations of unusual line shapes in the early 1990s …

One-dimensional atomic chains on A u/S i (557) feature two proximal 1D bands near the
Fermi level, which were controversially attributed as a spinon-holon pair of a Luttinger liquid …

A number of different families of nanowires which self-assemble on semiconductor surfaces
have been identified in recent years. They are particularly interesting from the standpoint of …

We study electronic and topographic properties of the vicinal Si (557)-Au surface using
scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) and a reflection of high-energy electron diffraction …

Combining first-principles total-energy calculation and scanning tunnelling microscopy
(STM), we obtain the atomic structure of the high-index Si (5 5 12) 2× 1 surface, which is a …

We investigated in detail the electronic structures of the Si (5 5 12) surface with Au
adsorbates, which features one-dimensional (1D) atomic chains and a 1D metallic band …

We study electronic and topographic properties of the Si (335) surface, containing Au wires
parallel to the steps. We use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) supplemented by …

We have investigated Au-induced faceting of the high-index Si (5512) surface for coverages
up to∼ 1 ML and temperatures between 600 and 800° C using scanning tunneling …
