This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

Abstract 2D materials and heterostructures have attracted significant attention for a variety of
nanoelectronic and optoelectronic applications. At the atomically thin limit, the material …

We have computed the surface energies, work functions, and interlayer surface relaxations
of clean (111),(100), and (110) surfaces of Al, Cu, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Pt, and Au. We interpret …

The existence of magnetic domains arises from the action of several interactions present in
magnetic materials, mainly exchange, anisotropy, and dipolar. This chapter deals with some …

Beryllium is a simple alkali earth metal, but has been the target of intensive studies for
decades because of its unusual electron behavior at surfaces. The puzzling aspects include …

Large-amplitude electron density oscillations were observed on a Be (0001) surface by
means of variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Fourier transforms of the …

This report features the recent progress in understanding the behaviour of atoms and
valence electrons involved in the process of oxidation, and some technological development …

The last decade has seen remarkable new developments in the field of low energy electron
diffraction (LEED) which are reviewed in the present paper. The arrival of sophisticated and …

Abstract The multilayer relaxation at (100),(110),(111),(210),(211),(310),(311) and (331)
surfaces of the fcc metals Cu, Ag, Au, Ni, Pd, Pt, Al and Pb are calculated using the modified …

ITER will use beryllium as a plasma-facing material in the main chamber, covering a total
surface area of about 620 m 2. Given the importance of beryllium erosion and co-deposition …
