We present a detailed analysis of the band structure of the BiAg$_2$/Ag/Si(111) trilayer system by means of high resolution Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES). BiAg2/Ag/Si(111) exhibits a complex spin polarized electronic structure due to giant spin-orbit interactions. We show that a complete set of constant energy ARPES maps, supplemented by a modified nearly free electron calculation, provides a unique insight into the structure of the spin polarized bands and spin gaps. We also show that the complex gap structure can be continuously tuned in energy by a controlled deposition of an alkali metal.

The formation of a Ag stabilized regular step lattice on vicinal Si(111) miscut towards [11-2] is reported. The step bunching characteristic of the clean surface is prevented by a single-domain Si(111)-(3x1)-Ag reconstruction. The nanostructured surf ace is used as a template for growing one-dimensional arrays of 1 nm sized Ag quantum dots with a preferential spacing of 1.5 nm along the rows.
The shape and alignment of silver nanoparticles embedded in a glass matrix is controlled using silicon ion irradiation. Symmetric silver nanoparticles are transformed into anisotropic particles whose larger axis is along the ion beam. Upon irradiatio n, the surface plasmon resonance of symmetric particles splits into two resonances whose separation depends on the fluence of the ion irradiation. Simulations of the optical absorbance show that the anisotropy is caused by the deformation and alignment of the nanoparticles, and that both properties are controlled with the irradiation fluence.

We propose a natural two-speed model for the phase dynamics of Si(111) 7$times$7 phase transition to high temperature unreconstructed phase. We formulate the phase dynamics by using phase-field method and adaptive mesh refinement. Our simulated resul ts show that a 7$times$7 island decays with its shape kept unchanged, and its area decay rate is shown to be a constant increasing with its initial area. LEEM experiments concerned are explained, which confirms that the dimer chains and corner holes are broken first in the transition, and then the stacking fault is remedied slowly. This phase-field method is a reliable approach to phase dynamics of surface phase transitions.

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of submonolayer heteroepitaxial growth of Ag on Si(111)-7x7 at temperatures from 420 K to 550 K when Ag atoms can easily diffuse on the surface and the reconstruction 7x7 remains stable. STM me asurements for coverages from 0.05 ML to 0.6 ML show that there is an excess of smallest islands (each of them fills up just one half-unit cell - HUC) in all stages of growth. Formation of 2D wetting layer proceeds by continuous nucleation of the smallest islands in the proximity of larger 2D islands (extended over several HUCs) and following coalescence with them. Such a growth scenario is verified by kinetic Monte Carlo simulation which uses a coarse-grained model based on a limited capacity of HUC and a mechanism which increases nucleation probability in a neighbourhood of already saturated HUCs (correlated nucleation). The model provides a good fit for experimental dependences of the relative number of Ag-occupied HUCs and the preference in occupation of faulted HUCs on temperature and amount of deposited Ag. Parameters obtained for the hopping of Ag adatoms between HUCs agree with those reported earlier for initial stages of growth. The model provides two new parameters - maximum number of Ag atoms inside HUC, and on HUC boundary.
