Total-reflection high-energy positron diffraction (TRHEPD) has recently been developed to
investigate the surface structure (atomic geometry) and surface properties of materials. It is …

We discuss the current state of a promising area of modern physics, the study of the physical
properties of metal nanowires and atomic chains. One-dimensional nanostructures are …

Platinum is a noble metal that is widely used for the electrocatalytic production of hydrogen,
but the surface reactivity of platinum toward water is not yet fully understood, even though …

In the two years, the TMDs materials perform a hugely great role in that they represent other
resources of getting a material with bandgap energy and stable dynamically for electronics …

The atomic structure of self-organizing iridium (Ir) induced nanowires on Ge (001) is studied
by density functional theory (DFT) calculations and variable-temperature scanning tunneling …

The issues raised in the comment by Manz are addressed through the presentation of
calculated atomic charges for NaF, NaCl, MgO, SrTiO _3, and La _2 Ce _2 O _7, using our …

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 geometric and electronic structure of the MIL-47 (V) metal-organic framework (MOF) is
investigated by using ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Special focus is …

The atomic configuration and electronic band structure of Pt-induced nanowires on a Ge
(001) surface are investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy, reflection high-energy …

A fundamental understanding of the atomic and electronic structures of metallic nanowires
(NWs) on semiconductors is critical for micro-or molecular electronics. The deposition of Au …
