The hydroxylated surface structures of seven morphologically important crystallographic surfaces of hematite were calculated allowing the determination of the surface energies and, consequently,the hematite equilibrium morphology. The docking of two organi ...
The goal of this paper is to develop some aspects of the deformation theory of piecewise flat structures on surfaces and use this theory to construct new geometric structures on the moduli space of Riemann surfaces. ...
The long-range ordered surface alloy Bi/Ag(111) is found to exhibit a giant spin splitting of its surface electronic structure due to spin-orbit coupling, as is determined by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. First-principles electronic structure ...
Various surfaces can successfully be coated with reactive polymer coatings and then patterned with DNA features using supramocular nanostamping (SuNS). Surfaces as different as silicon, quartz, polystyrene, PMMA and PDMS have been patterned using the same ...
We present a novel approach to cover different substrates with thin light-sensitive layers that consist of org.-capped TiO2 nanorods (NRs). Such NR-based coatings exhibit an increasing initial hydrophobicity with increasing NR length, and they demonstrate ...
Nous présentons un modèle itératif de figures à motifs fractals. Ce modèle est exprimé dans un formalisme type IFS (Iterated Function System), qui est relié à l’approche par schéma de subdivision. Ce modèle itératif permet de définir des formes à pôles mul ...
We present an efficient method for importance sampling the product of multiple functions. Our algorithm computes a quick approximation of the product on-the-fly, based on hierarchical representations of the Local maxima and averages of the individual terms ...
First developed by the architectural avante-garde in the early 20th century, the idea of the open plan was the result of a desire for greater transparency and flexibility in the design of interior environments. Essential to the functioning of the open plan ...

Electrons trapped in field emission resonances (FERs) in front of a Ag(100) surface covered with ultrathin NaCl islands are probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. The eigenstates in the potential well formed between the tip and the sample are calculate ...
Using a first-principles approach, we investigate the origin of the fine structure in Si 2p photoelectron spectra at the Si(100)2x1 surface and at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface. Calculated and measured shifts show very good agreement for both systems. By usin ...
