Functional, porous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention as a
very flexible class of crystalline, porous materials. For more advanced applications that …

We demonstrate the realization of hierarchically organized MOF (metal–organic framework)
multilayer systems with pronounced differences in the size of the nanoscale pores …

Adsorption, interaction, and diffusion of adatoms on surfaces control growth and relaxation
of epitaxial nanostructures and nanofilms. Previous reports of key diffusion barriers for Pb …

Growth of Xene, referred to as the analog of graphene made of atoms other than carbon,
with higher lattice quality and more intrinsic electronic structures, is an important challenge …

Ultrathin Pb and Ge films deposited on Ag (111) surfaces have been investigated and
compared. We found that at 1/3 ML, both films formed surface alloys, Ag 2 Pb and Ag 2 Ge …

Films of Pb (111) with thickness ranging from 1 to 16 monolayers (ML) were grown on Ge
(111) and examined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The measured …

Quantum oscillations of work function and film stability as a function of the film thickness in
Pb thin films on Si (111) are measured directly using scanning tunneling microscopy and …

The dependence on thickness of electronic and lattice structures of Pb films deposited on Ge
(100) substrate was investigated with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and low …

Dirac cones in a two-dimensional environment have attracted much attention not only
because of the massless Dirac fermions but also due to their capability to lock the spin …

The observed heavy-hole, light-hole and split-off band edges of a semiconductor are the
well known consequence of two physical processes: atomic spin–orbital interaction and …
