The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has revolutionized our ability to explore and
manipulate atomic-scale solid surfaces. In addition to its unparalleled spatial power, the …

A review work is done for the electronic and optical properties of graphene nanoribbons in
magnetic, electric, composite, and modulated fields. Effects due to the lateral confinement …

Pt deposited onto a Ge (001) surface gives rise to the spontaneous formation of atomic
nanowires on a mixed Pt-Ge surface after high-temperature annealing. We study possible …

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 …

Ultrathin Au/Ag bimetallic nanowires with remarkable Coulomb blockade effects were
synthesized using octadecylamine as both a solvent and a surfactant. It is believed that the …

We develop the generalized tight-binding model to fully explore the magneto-electronic
properties of monolayer GaAs, where the buckled structure, multi-orbital chemical bondings …

We have studied the structural and electronic properties of atomic Pt chains on a Pt modified
Ge (001) substrate. Using scanning tunneling microscopy we show that these Pt chains …

Combining total-energy calculations, electronic-structure studies, and scanning tunneling
microscopy (STM), we demonstrate that the observed one-dimensional nanowires are …

We study formation of the nanowires formed after deposition of Pt on a Ge (001) surface. The
nanowires form spontaneously after high-temperature annealing. They are …

The structural and electronic properties of Au induced self-organized nanowires on Ge
(001), prepared by different procedures, are investigated with scanning tunnelling …
