Borophene, a crystalline monolayer boron sheet, has been predicted to adopt a variety of
structures—owing to its high polymorphism—that may possess physical properties that …

Heteroatoms are essential for functional groups in organic structures and are
complementary to hydrocarbon molecules in reactivities and properties. However, it is still a …

Free and open-source hardware (FOSH) is rapidly gaining momentum because it provides
customized research hardware with over 90% savings compared to the costs of proprietary …

Scanning transmission electron microscopy is now the primary tool for exploring functional
materials on the atomic level. Often, features of interest are highly localized in specific …

Abstract Dynamic I (V)‐LEEM, ie, the continuous recording of low‐energy electron
microscopy (LEEM) images upon cycling the electron kinetic energy, enables time‐resolved …

Due to its single-molecule sensitivity, high-resolution atomic force microscopy (HR-AFM) has
proved to be a valuable and uniquely advantageous tool to study complex molecular …

One-to-one comparisons between indentation experiments and atomistic modelling have
until recently been hampered by the discrepancy in length scales of the two approaches …

We report on the set-up and performance of a dilution-refrigerator based spectroscopic
imaging scanning tunneling microscope. It operates at temperatures below 10 mK and in …

Cerium oxide plays an important role in catalysis due to its prominent ability to store,
transport, and release oxygen. Inverse model catalysts have attracted strong interest since …
