The Roughening Transition on Surfaces
1991The concept of a roughening transition on surfaces has been introduced in 1951 by Burton,Cabrera and Frank1 in order to explain why the growth of crystals was observed to proceed in two very different regimes: layer by layer or tridimensional. They have shown that a surface layer of a simple cubic crystal in which every site can be either occupied or ...

Surface-state–surface-resonance transition on Ta(011)
Physical Review Letters, 1990High-resolution angle-resolved-photoemission results are presented which probe in detail the transition of intrinsic surface bands on clean and hydrogen-covered Ta(011) from pure states to resonances. This is manifested by both a resonant broadening of \ensuremath{\sim}0.5 eV and a level shift. An unusual avoided crossing between surface and bulk bands

Surface structure transitions on InAs and GaAs (001) surfaces
Physical Review B, 1995Surface structure transitions on InAs and GaAs (001) surfaces are studied by using reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Monte Carlo simulations. The RHEED study shows that the change in surface structure between As-stabilized (2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}

The Surface of the Transition Metals
1989The main characteristic of a metal is the presence of free electrons (the so-called electron gas), which account for the high electroconductivity of metals. In the transition metals the d electrons are more localized than the sp electrons, the latter therefore being mainly responsible for the conduction of electricity.

Abstract We discuss some of the properties of random surfaces and report on a numerical simulation of a system of surfaces weighted with an action that depends on the extrinsic curvature. We give evidence for the existence of a third (or higher) order crumpling transition.

Phase transitions in flexible polymeric surfaces
Physical Review A, 1987The statistical mechanics of polymerized surfaces with a finite bending rigidity \ensuremath{\kappa}' is studied via the Monte Carlo method. The model system consists of a hexagon, L atoms across, excised from a triangular lattice embedded in three-dimensional space.

Abstract One of the principal motivations for modern studies of adsorbed films, surfaces and interfaces is an abiding interest in the roles of dimensionality in condensed matter. While research during the last two decades has shown that physisorbed monolayers can be good experimental representations of two dimensional matter, more recent studies have ...

Wetting transitions on textured hydrophilic surfaces
The European Physical Journal E, 2008We consider the quasi-static energy of a drop on a textured hydrophilic surface, with taking the contact angle hysteresis (CAH) into account. We demonstrate how energy varies as the contact state changes from the Cassie state (in which air is trapped at the drop bottom) to the Wenzel state (in which liquid fills the texture at the drop bottom) assuming

Transition metals represent very interesting materials in which one can fairly readily analyze trends in their properties along the transition series. Although there have been recent calculations of their bulk and surface properties in the local-density approximation, our discussion here will be mainly based on the tight-binding method. This is because

Surface transition in athermal polymer solutions
Physical Review E, 2006According to a recently developed density functional theory, athermal polymer solutions, in which the solvent particles are smaller than the monomers, may undergo a bulk fluid-fluid phase separation, driven by excluded volume effects. In recent work, we showed that an inert surface immersed in the dilute polymer phase can, in principle, be wetted by ...
