The investigation of step and island dynamics on surfaces has enormously contributed to the
microscopic understanding of mass transport processes in equilibrium, during growth and …

One of the main goals of surface science is the understanding of the elementary steps
occurring in catalytic reactions in the heterogeneous phase, in order to identify promoters …

The hopping self diffusion coefficient of an adatom on the (100),(110) and (111) surfaces of
nine FCC metals have been investigated using Monte Carlo variational transition state …

Intriguing properties are frequently reported in various topologically non-trivial materials.
They include robust metallic surface states, high carrier mobility, chiral fermions, and …

Lateral confinement has been suggested as a possible mechanism for depopulation of
surface state levels and concomitant modification of metal surface related properties …

Surface states—the electronic states emerging as a solid material terminates at a surface—
are usually vulnerable to contaminations and defects. The robust topological surface state …

Quasiparticle interactions broaden spectral features at surfaces, which can be measured
using the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). We report the first study of lifetime effects …

Electrochemical sensors, with high accuracy, good selectivity, and linear response, have
been widely used for environmental protection, health monitoring, and disease treatment …

Lifetimes of electrons in the n= 1 and n= 2 image states on Cu (111) are studied with
femtosecond time-resolved photoemission. Adsorption of one monolayer of Xe results in a …

The dynamics of charge transfer and electronic excitations are of fundamental importance in
many areas of surface physics. At metal surfaces electronic relaxation occurs on the …
