The fabrication methods of the microelectronics industry have been refined to produce ever
smaller devices, but will soon reach their fundamental limits. A promising alternative route to …

Based on a first-principles approach, we present scaling rules for the band gaps of
graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) as a function of their widths. The GNRs considered have …

In the last decade a tremendous progress has taken place in understanding the basis of
magnetism, especially in reduced dimensions. In the first part, the fundamentals of …

Controlling magnetism on metal surfaces with non-magnetic means: electric fields and surface
charging - IOPscience Skip to content IOP Science home Accessibility Help Search Journals …

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 …

The DEIMOS (Dichroism Experimental Installation for Magneto-Optical Spectroscopy)
beamline was part of the second phase of the beamline development at French Synchrotron …

We report on a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the magnetic
anisotropy of Fe and Co ultrathin layers on strongly polarizable metal substrates. Monolayer …

We report on the magnetic properties of two-dimensional Co nanoparticles arranged in
macroscopically phase-coherent superlattices created by self-assembly on Au (788). Our …

Magnetic impurities in solids cause manifold changes in their macroscopic properties, such
as anomalous low temperature resistance due to Kondo screening, reduction of the …

We explore the emergence of chiral magnetism in one-dimensional monatomic Mn, Fe, and
Co chains deposited at the Pt (664) step edge carrying out an ab initio study based on …
