Formation of Surface and Quantum-Well States in Ultra Thin Pt Films on the Au(111) Surface
(MDPI, 2017-12-09)
The electronic structure of the Pt/Au(111) heterostructures with a number of Pt monolayers n ranging from one to three is studied in the density-functional-theory framework. The calculations demonstrate that the deposition ...
New generation of two-dimensional spintronic systems realized by coupling of Rashba and Dirac fermions
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015-08-04)
Intriguing phenomena and novel physics predicted for two-dimensional (2D) systems formed by electrons in Dirac or Rashba states motivate an active search for new materials or combinations of the already revealed ones. Being ...
One-dimensional potential for image-potential states on graphene
(IOP Publishing, 2014-02-05)
In the framework of dielectric theory, the static non-local self-energy of an electron near an ultra-thin polarizable layer has been calculated and applied to study binding energies of image-potential states near free-standing ...
Hole-Phonon Relaxation and Photocatalytic Properties of Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide: First-Principles Approach
(Hindawi Publishing, 2014)
First-principles calculations for the temporal characteristics of hole-phonon relaxation in the valence band of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have been performed. A first-principles method for the calculations of the ...
Quantum ricochets: surface capture, release and energy loss of fast ions hitting a polar surface at grazing incidence
(IOP Publishing, 2014-06-09)
A diffraction mechanism is proposed for the capture, multiple bouncing and final escape of a fast ion (keV) impinging on the surface of a polarizable material at grazing incidence. Capture and escape are effected by elastic ...
Time-dependent electron phenomena at surfaces
(US National Academy of Sciences, 2011-01)
Femtosecond and subfemtosecond time scales typically rule electron dynamics at metal surfaces. Recent advance in experimental techniques permits now remarkable precision in the description of these processes. In particular, ...
Giant diamagnetism of gold nanorods
(IOP Publishing, 2014-07-30)
The presence of giant diamagnetism in Au nanorods, NRs, is shown to be a possible consequence of field induced currents in the surface electrons. The distance, Delta , between quantum surface energy levels has been calculated ...
Spin-helical Dirac states in graphene induced by polar-substrate surfaces with giant spin-orbit interaction: a new platform for spintronics
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014-11-04)
Spintronics, or spin electronics, is aimed at efficient control and manipulation of spin degrees of freedom in electron systems. To comply with demands of nowaday spintronics, the studies of electron systems hosting giant ...
