Hydrogen adsorption-induced nanomagnetism at the Si(111)-(77) surface
Xiao-Yan Ren, Chun-Yao Niu, Seho Yi +2
The creation of magnetism on non-magnetic semiconductor surfaces is of importance for the realization of spintronics devices. Especially, the coupling of electron spins within quan…

Spin-orbit coupling effects on the stability of two competing structures in Pb/Si(111) and Pb/Ge(111)
Xiao-Yan Ren, Hyun-Jung Kim, Seho Yi +2
Using first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, we investigate the 4/3-monolayer structure of Pb on the Si(111) or Ge(111) surface within the two competing str…

Origin of Symmetric Dimer Images of Si(001) Observed in Low-Temperature STM
Xiao-Yan Ren, Hyun-Jung Kim, Chun-Yao Niu +2
It has been a long-standing puzzle why buckled dimers of the Si(001) surface appeared symmetric below 20 K in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments. Although such symmetr…
