Atomically precise Si(331)-(12x1) surfaces
Corsin Battaglia, Claude Monney, Clement Didiot +4
Si(331)-(12x1) is the only confirmed planar silicon surface with a stable reconstruction located between (111) and (110). We have optimized the annealing sequence and are able to o…
Elementary structural building blocks encountered in silicon surface reconstructions
Corsin Battaglia, Katalin Gaal-Nagy, Claude Monney +5
Driven by the reduction of dangling bonds and the minimization of surface stress, reconstruction of silicon surfaces leads to a striking diversity of outcomes. Despite this variety…
Spontaneous exciton condensation in 1T-TiSe2: a BCS-like approach
C. Monney, H. Cercellier, F. Clerc +9
Recently strong evidence has been found in favor of a BCS-like condensation of excitons in 1\textit{T}-TiSe. Theoretical photoemission intensity maps have been generated by the…
A new structural model for the Si(331)-(12x1) reconstruction
Corsin Battaglia, Katalin Gaal-Nagy, Claude Monney +5
A new structural model for the Si(331)-(12x1) reconstruction is proposed. Based on scanning tunneling microscopy images of unprecedented resolution, low-energy electron diffraction…
Stability and structure of atomic chains on Si(111)
Corsin Battaglia, Philipp Aebi, Steven C. Erwin
We study the stability and structure of self-assembled atomic chains on Si(111) induced by monovalent, divalent and trivalent adsorbates, using first-principles total-energy calcul…
