Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:The main factor that determines which of the two domains form upon reconstruction of the Si(110)"16 x 2" surface has been investigated. LEED and STM images showed that the domain orientation was independent of the heating current direction used to induce the Si(110)"16 x 2" reconstruction. Reciprocal-space lattice models of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | Summary:Two-dimensional hexagonal and oblique lattices were investigated theoretically with the aim of observing differences in the spin expectation values between chiral and achiral systems. The spinresolved band structures were derived from the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Hamiltonian that includes the lattice potential and the spin-orbit interaction. The spin […]
