The electronic structure of non-magnetic low-dimensional materials can acquire a spin
structure due to the breaking of the inversion symmetry at the surface or interface. This so …

The quantum confinement of strongly correlated electrons in artificial structures provides a
platform for studying the behavior of correlated Fermi-liquid states in reduced dimensions …

The structure of silicene fabricated on a Ag (111) surface was determined using reflection
high-energy positron diffraction with a linac-based brightness-enhanced intense positron …

Quantum well states (QWSs) in ultrathin Bi (001) films grown on Si (111)-7× 7 with
thicknesses up to several tens of nanometers were studied by angle-resolved …

The growth of Pb on Si (111) 7× 7 has been studied with photoelectron spectroscopy. At low
temperature (110 K), Pb grows in a quasi layer-by-layer mode that allows for the direct …

Negative differential resistance (NDR), a quantum nonlinear electron transport process, has
long attracted research interest owing to its intriguing underlying physics and promising …

Atomically uniform silver films grown on highly doped n-type Si (111) substrates show fine-
structured electronic fringes near the silicon valence band edge as observed by angle …

We present a study of a sub-nanometre interlayer of crystalline silicon nitride at the Ni/Si
interface. We performed transmission electron microscopy measurements complemented by …

In situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has been performed on SrVO 3
ultrathin films, which show metallic quantum well (QW) states, to unveil the origin of the …

Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) has been employed in conjunction with density
functional theory (DFT+ DMFT) to investigate the metal-insulator transition (MIT) of strongly …
