Despite major advances in the understanding of the formation and dynamics of nanoclusters
in the past decades, theoretical bases for the control of their shape are still lacking. We …

In this review, we discuss several fundamental processes taking place in semiconductor
nanocrystals (quantum dots (QDs)) when their electron subsystem interacts with …

The moiré of a monolayer of hexagonal boron nitride on Ir (111) is found to be a template for
Ir, C, and Au cluster superlattices. Using scanning tunneling microscopy, the cluster structure …

Quantum confinement of graphene Dirac‐like electrons in artificially crafted nanometer
structures is a long sought goal that would provide a strategy to selectively tune the …

Graphene, with its unique band structure, mechanical stability, and high charge mobility,
holds great promise for next-generation electronics. Nevertheless, its zero bandgap …

The development of approaches to provide ordered networks of metal nanoparticles is a
topic of great interest due to its potential contribution to the advent of a more efficient …

A deep grasp of the properties of the interface between organic molecules and hexagonal
boron nitride (h-BN) is essential for the full implementation of these two building blocks in …

Predicting the properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials as graphene and hexagonal
boron nitride (h-BN) monolayers after their growth on any given substrate is a major …

The goal toward the ultimate density limit of magnetic information storage is now focused on
the creations of identical magnetic clusters as well as their arrangements on a template …

Hydrogen adsorption on graphene can be increased by functionalization with Ti. This
requires dispersing Ti islands on graphene as small and dense as possible, in order to …
