Structure and Electronic Properties of Ultrathin Indium Films on Si(111)

Ultrathin metal films on atomically flat semiconductor substrates have been of great interest to investigate physical properties of two-dimensional (2D) metals. Indium-adsorbed Si(111) surfaces are one of the most explored metal/semiconductor systems. [more]

Polarons Imaged in Real Space by Combined AFM/STM

Polarons [1] are quasiparticles that form in ionic lattices due to the interaction of excess charges with lattice distortions. This leads to a spatial confinement of the charge and appearance of many novel phenomena. In past decades, polarons turned out to play an important role in electrical transport, optical properties, organic electronics, catalysis, or in exotic materials properties such as colossal magnetoresistance or high-Tc superconductivity.
