Synthesis and photo-response study on GaSe and InSe atomic layers
The two dimensional atomically layered materials are drawing intense attention in recent years, because of their special physical properties. Graphene, as a layered material with large charge carrier mobility, has been studied for years. Besides, graphene, large amounts of materials exhibit unique …

The thermal boundary conductance between a thin ⁴He film and its substrate
… strength and Q for films between 1.35 and 4.40 atomic layers shows that the boundary conductance between a thin film and its substrate is three to five orders of magnitude smaller than the boundary conductance between bulk liquid helium and a solid. The conductance for the bulk case is the …

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional magnetism in ultrathin epitaxial rare-earth metal films
… rare-earth element layer, between 0.1 and 10 atomic layers thick and magnetically separated from one another by thick spacers, is grown in layer-by-layer growth mode to insure high crystal quality. Magnetization of the resulting films is measured to identify the spin structures and the …

Photoemission Studies of *Interface Effects on Thin Film Properties
… 3 x 3 /Si(111), films made of odd numbers of atomic layers are observed to be more stable than the even ones, but this trend is reversed for the other cases studied. For Pb/Au-6x6/Si(111), the maximum stability temperatures are in excess of room temperature, unlike the other systems. These …

Ab initio calculations of the electronic properties of the nickel oxide surface
… calculations are presented for the adsorption of atomic oxygen onto the nickel oxide (100) surface. The perfect surface is shown to be non-reactive, but enhanced binding is found for vacancy sites in the first two atomic layers. Of particular interest are a first layer cation vacancy and a second …

Measurements of Vortex Diffusivity in 2d Superfluid Helium-4
… of coverage .25 < (sigma)(,s) < 1.9 superfluid atomic layers and with .55 < T(,KT) < 1.9(DEGREES)K. We use a third sound resonator combined with a new detection technique('17) which allows us to measure the vortex dynamics in the superfluid. Using a model developed by Gillis, et al('16,32), we …

The Effect of Lead on Dealloying and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) of Ni-Cr-Fe Alloys in Boiling Caustic Environments
… Ni-rich surface formed after dealloying of a few atomic layers. Pb deposition blocked dissolution pathways which slowed dealloying kinetics and subsequently hindered SCC initiation in comparison to pure caustic conditions.

Mechanics of deformation and fracture of silicon electrodes in high-capacity lithium-ion batteries
… and weakly bonded Si-Cu and Li-Cu crystalline atomic layers form within this interphase structure and then sliding can happen between the electrode and the current collector. This interfacial sliding will help release stresses introduced by the lithiation process. However, it can be terminated …

Coherent light-matter interactions in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides
Semiconductors that are thinned down to a few atomic layers can exhibit novel properties beyond those encountered in bulk forms. Transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) such as MoS 2, WS2 and WSe2 are prime examples of such semiconductors. They appear in layered structure that can be reduced to a …

Quantum Electronic Effects in Ultrathin Metal Films on Semiconductors
As the size of a metallic system approaches the atomic scale, deviations from the bulk are expected in a plethora of different physical properties due to quantum size effects. In this work, two of these effects are investigated in detail: the structural distortions that arise due to quantum …
