At the atomic-cluster scale, pure boron is markedly similar to carbon, forming simple planar
molecules and cage-like fullerenes. Theoretical studies predict that two-dimensional (2D) …

Two-dimensional (2D) bilayer hexagonal ice (BHI) is regarded as the first intrinsic 2D ice
crystal. However, the robustness of such a structure or its derivatives against surface …

MoS2 on polycrystalline metal substrates emerges as an intriguing growth system compared
to that on insulating substrates due to its direct application as an electrocatalyst in hydrogen …

Fractals are of fundamental importance in science and technology. Theoretical simulations
indicate that Sierpiński triangles (STs) possess specific optical and electronic properties. To …

Au (001) surfaces exhibit a complex reconstructed structure [Hex− Au (001)] comprising a
hexagonal surface and square bulk lattices, yielding a quasi-one-dimensional corrugated …

Metal surfaces have long been known to reconstruct, significantly influencing their structural
and catalytic properties. Many key mechanistic aspects of these subtle transformations …

Silicene, a honeycomb lattice of silicon, presents a particular case of allotropism on Ag
(111). Silicene forms multiple structures with alike in-plane geometry but different out-of …

Crystalline structures with Sierpiński triangles as building blocks were constructed via a
templating method in an ultra-high vacuum and studied by low-temperature scanning …

Tin‐based halide perovskite solar cells can be efficient and environmentally friendly
substitutions to lead‐based halide perovskite solar cells, but they have a drawback due to …

We model the amplitude line shape and absolute phase of the infrared-visible sum-
frequency signals produced by a thiolated polycrystalline gold surface as a function of the …
