Step Bunching with Alternation of Structural Parameters [PDF]
By taking account of the alternation of structural parameters, we study bunching of impermeable steps induced by drift of adatoms on a vicinal face of Si(001).

Electron states of mono- and bilayer graphene on SiC probed by STM [PDF]
We present a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) study of a gently-graphitized 6H-SiC(0001) surface in ultra high vacuum. From an analysis of atomic scale images, we identify two different kinds of terraces, which we unambiguously attribute to mono- and ...

Influence of topography and Co domain walls on the magnetization reversal of the FeNi layer in FeNi/Al$\_2$O$\_3$/Co magnetic tunnel junctions [PDF]
We have studied the magnetization reversal dynamics of FeNi/Al$\_2$O$\_3$/Co magnetic tunnel junctions deposited on step-bunched Si substrates using magneto-optical Kerr effect and time-resolved x-ray photoelectron emission microscopy combined with x-ray

The morphology of fractal nano-objects in crystals of A2VB3VI
On interlayer surfaces of crystals of Bi2Te3 and Sb2Te3 as a result of self-organisation are formed nano formations of following types: the pyramidal inclusions, parallel plates and the fragments similar Koch fractal surface.
