The present report deals with the main aspects of the interaction of hydrogen with the
atomically clean crystalline silicon surfaces and submonolayer metal/silicon interfaces. After …

Over the last three decades reactions of organic and organometallic compounds on silicon
surfaces have been of great interest. This interest has been fueled by potential applications …

Length-dependent charge redistribution in dangling-bond (DB) linear chains fabricated on a
hydrogen-terminated Si (100)−(2× 1) surface is analyzed by using scanning tunneling …

Current information technologies use semiconductor devices and magnetic/optical discs,
however, it is foreseen that they will all face fundamental limitations within a decade. This …

A number of different families of nanowires which self-assemble on semiconductor surfaces
have been identified in recent years. They are particularly interesting from the standpoint of …

The ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscope (STM) enables patterning and
characterization of the physical, chemical, and electronic properties of nanostructures on …

The technology to build and study nanowires with sizes ranging from individual atoms to
tens of nanometres has been developing rapidly over the last few years. We survey the …

The adsorption of hydrogen on semiconductors strongly modifies the electronic and
chemical properties of the surfaces, whether on the surface or in the sub-surface region. This …

The formation mechanism of low-dimensional self-assemblies of adenine, one of the DNA
base molecules, on Cu (111) surfaces and its control by chemical modification have been …

A new approach to future nanodevice fabrication is proposed which could, if successful,
realize practical 3-dimensional control over electron transport in silicon and silicon-based …
