There is a rapidly growing interest in the surface chemistry of the group (IV) semiconductors,
silicon and germanium, not only for the many technological applications presently in use …

We present an overview of various aspects of the self-assembly of organic monolayers on
silicon substrates for molecular electronics applications. Different chemical strategies …

Photoelectron diffraction is the consequence of the coherent interference of the directly-
emitted component of the photoelectron wavefield emitted from a core level of a surface …

Methods that can be used to tailor the surface properties of semiconductors will become
increasingly important as new applications for semiconductor-based materials continue to …

The carbon 1s X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) of acetylene, ethylene, and benzene in
gas phase and adsorbed on the Si (100) surface is studied using time-dependent density …

The cycloaddition chemistry of several representative unsaturated hydrocarbons (1, 3-
butadiene, benzene, ethylene, and acetylene) and a heterocyclic aromatic (thiophene) on a …

The local atomic structure around a specific element atom can be recorded as a
photoelectron diffraction pattern. Forward focusing peaks and diffraction rings around them …

Adsorbate and substrate core-level binding energies for adsorption layers of six unsaturated
hydrocarbons (C 2 H 2, C 2 H 4, C 3 H 4, C 4 H 6, C 6 D 6 (C 6 H 6), and 1, 2− C 2 H 2 Cl 2) …

Using a first-principles pseudopotential technique, we have investigated the adsorption of C
2 H 2 on the Si (001) surface. We have found that, at low temperatures, the di-σ-bond …

The coherent elastic scattering by surrounding atoms of a photoelectron wave field emitted
from an atomic core level provides structural information on the environment of the emitter …
