The epitaxial system Sm/Co(0001) was studied for Sm coverages up to 1 monolayer (ML) on top of ultrathin Co/W(110) epitaxial films. Two ordered phases were found for 1/3 and 1 ML Sm, respectively. The valence state of Sm was determined by means of photoemission and magnetic properties were measured by magneto-optical Kerr effect. We find that 1 ML Sm causes a strong increase of the coercivity with respect to that of the underlying 10 ML Co film. Element-specific hysteresis loops, measured by using resonant soft x-ray reflectivity, show the same magnetic behaviour for the two elements.

We demonstrate a method for synthesizing large scale single layer graphene by thermal annealing of ruthenium single crystal containing carbon. Low energy electron diffraction indicates the graphene grows to as large as millimeter dimensions with good
long-range order, and scanning tunneling microscope shows perfect crystallinity. Analysis of Moire pattern augmented with first-principles calculations shows the graphene layer is incommensurate with the underlying Ru(0001) surface forming a N by N superlattice with an average lattice strain of ~ +0.81%. Our findings offer an effective method for producing high quality single crystalline graphene for fundamental research and large-scale graphene wafer for device fabrication and integration.
Most spectroscopic methods for studying the electronic structure of metal surfaces have the disadvantage that either only occupied or only unoccupied states can be probed, and the signal is cut at the Fermi edge. This leads to significant uncertainti
es, when states are very close to the Fermi level. By performing low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we study the surface-electronic structure of La(0001) and Lu(0001), and demonstrate that in this way detailed information on the surface-electronic structure very close to the Fermi energy can be derived with high accuracy.
Interfaces of sapphire are of technological relevance as sapphire is used as a substrate in electronics, lasers, and Josephson junctions for quantum devices. In addition, its surface is potentially useful in catalysis. Using first principles calculat
ions, we show that, unlike bulk sapphire which has inversion symmetry, the (0001) sapphire surface is piezoelectric. The inherent broken symmetry at the surface leads to a surface dipole and a significant response to imposed strain: the magnitude of the surface piezoelectricity is comparable to that of bulk piezoelectrics.
We investigated the atomic fill site probability distributions across supercell structures of RT12-xTi (R=Nd, Sm, T=Fe, Co). We use a combined molecular dynamics and Boltzmann distribution approach to extrapolate the probability distributions for Ti
substitution from lower to higher temperatures with an equilibrium condition to assess how temperature affects the predictability of the structures fill path. It was found that the Nd and Sm based Fe systems have the highest filling probability path at lower temperatures but the cohesive energy change due to Ti substitution in Sm and Nd based crystals indicates that a more stable system could be achieved with a combination Co and Fe in the transition metal site.
In this manuscript we report helium atom scattering (HAS) measurements of the structure of the first H2O layer on Au(111). The interaction between H2O and Au(111) is believed to be particularly weak and conflicting evidence from several indirect stud
ies has suggested that water either grows as 3D ice crystals or as an amorphous wetting layer. In contrast, our measurements show that between 110K and 130K, H2O grows as highly commensurate well ordered islands which only partially wet the gold surface. The islands produce a clear (sqrt3Xsqrt3)R30 diffraction pattern and are characterized by a well defined height of ~ 5 Angstrom with respect to the surface gold atoms. These findings provide support for a unique double bilayer model which has recently been suggested for this surface.
