As a much-enriched supplement to the previous review paper entitled the “Effective work
functions for ionic and electronic emissions from mono-and polycrystalline surfaces”[Prog …

In this review, we examine the contributions of surface science research to the
understanding of metal-semiconductor interfaces. In particular, we survey conventional …

The object of this report is to given a systematic overview of the characteristics of the
formation of the noble-metal/elemental-semiconductor interface. The growth mechanisms …

I first learned of the existence of this book on high-temperature superconduc tivity when I
received a copy in the office of one of the co-editors, Prof. VL Ginzburg, shortly after …

Solid-state aspects of solar energy conversion systems are discussed, with attention given to
spectrally selective surfaces, carrier lifetimes in silicon, solar photoelectrolysis with …

By utilizing a variety of surface superstructures formed on silicon surfaces and atomic layers
grown on them, close correlations between the atomic-scale structures and electrical …

It has been found that the kind and amount of damage produced in silicon following Ar+ ion
bombardment at 1.0 keV and the annealing properties of the damage depend strongly on …

Ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS),
Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) have been …

Abstract k-resolved inverse-photoemission spectroscopy has been used to determine the
empty surface-state band structures of Si (111)√ 3×√ 3-Al,-Ga, and-In surfaces. The results …

In this article, the current understanding of semiconductor surface reconstructions and the
role of total-energy calculations in achieving this understanding is reviewed. The methods …
