The atomistic structure of the tip apex plays a crucial role in performing reliable atomic-scale
surface and adsorbate manipulation using scanning probe techniques. We have developed …

We investigate the energy and symmetry of Zn and Be dopant-induced acceptor states in
GaAs using cross-sectional scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy at low …

In this second paper, we develop transferable semiempirical extended Hückel theoretical
(EHT) parameters for the electronic structure of another technologically important material …

We present reflectance-anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) and surface differential reflectivity
(SDR) experiments carried out on well-characterized single-domain nominal silicon (100) …

Specific surfaces allowing the ultra-high vacuum (UHV) creation of electronic interconnects
and atomic nanostructures are required for the successful development of novel nanoscale …

We present a comparative study of the electronic properties of the clean Si (100) and the
hydrogenated Si (100): H surfaces performed with a low-temperature (5 K) scanning …

Photoinduced trans− cis isomerization studies of stilbene molecules in the gas phase have
led to a precise understanding of the corresponding molecular dynamics. Yet, when such …

This article reports on the growth of Au islands on the Si (111) surface as a function of the Au
evaporation rate and the temperature of the surface in ultrahigh vacuum. By controlling the …

We combine theory and experiments to study bias-dependent scanning tunneling
microscopy (STM) images of the different reconstructions of Si (100) surfaces. Coupling with …

The probe effect, the effect of parameters in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM)
measurement, on the Si (100) surface with two competing phases in delicate balance, was …
