The concept of coupling a nanometer or subnanometer scale oxide phase to a metal surface
to form a metal–oxide hybrid material with novel properties is an attractive approach in the …

This paper reviews the current knowledge of the properties of ultrathin, well-ordered oxide,
nitride and oxynitride films grown on metal and metal alloy surfaces. Different modes of …

Imaging of vibrational excitations in and near nanostructures is essential for developing low-
loss infrared nanophotonics, controlling heat transport in thermal nanodevices,, inventing …

Effective optical constants of Ag thin films are precisely determined with effective thickness
simultaneously by using an ellipsometry iterated with transmittance method. Unlike the bulk …

We have investigated the phase transitions and the structure of thin aluminum oxide layers
on NiAl (001) using high-resolution electron energy loss spectroscopy (HREELS), low …

Abstract Using spatially resolved Electron Energy-Loss Spectroscopy, we investigate the
excitation of long-wavelength surface optical vibrational modes in elementary types of …

The classical surface and interface modes of dotlike microstructures and the optical
absorption corresponding to them are studied within a dielectric continuum approach …

In a recent paper [Lagos, Nature (London) 543, 533 (2017) NATUAS 0028-0836
10.1038/nature21699] we have used electron energy loss spectroscopy with sub-10 meV …

The phonon modes of a quantum dot quantum well (QDQW) in the nonpolar dielectric
surrounding medium are deduced by using the dielectric continuum model. The confined …

We use a classical dielectric response framework to evaluate the force components acting
on a point charge that moves parallel to an anisotropic two-dimensional material …
