TL;DR: Pulsed UV-laser irradiation can produce submicron periodic linear and dot patterns on polymer surfaces without photomask, which can be used to increase surface roughness of inert polymers for improved adhesion as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural, electronic, chemical and catalytic properties of well-defined bimetallic surfaces are reviewed and a very good correlation is found between the electronic perturbations in a bimetal system and its cohesive energy.

TL;DR: In this article, a review discusses how CO 2 surface chemistry has developed since the early 1950s, focusing on studies of well-characterized surfaces of metals, oxides and some more complex systems involving in particular alkali modified surfaces and also of coadsorbed molecules.

TL;DR: The first application of hydrogen-terminated surfaces as electron devices is presented in this article for the metal-semiconductor field effect transistor (MSE transistor), where the surface states of (1 1 1) and (0 0 1) were discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a survey of new theoretical models of semiconductor heterojunctions and illustrate their newfound ability to derive from first principles rules of heterojunction behavior.

TL;DR: A review of theoretical methods used to describe chemisorption and adsorbate reactions on metal surfaces is contained in this paper, where a comprehensive perspective on state-of-the-art electronic structure methods suitable for these problems and a review of applications that illustrate current capabilities of theory are presented.

TL;DR: A review of recent studies of adsorption and coadsorption using specifically structural techniques can be found in this paper, with the intention of highlighting recent developments, providing a useful reference base to the community, and drawing attention to some unifying concepts.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive review of the structures of the clean, low-index surfaces of elemental and compound semiconductors is presented using the general physical principles that determine them.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of applications of scanning tunneling and atomic force microscopes in bio/organic researches is presented with a special emphasis on the types of researches that are expected to contribute to the creation of a new field of single molecule biochemistry in the near future.

TL;DR: In contrast to the thermodynamics of fluid surfaces, the thermodynamic properties of solid surfaces were not elaborated in detail by Gibbs and other founders of surface thermodynamics as mentioned in this paper, but significant progress in this field has been achieved in both the understanding of old notions, like chemical potentials, and in formulating new areas.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional stick-slip model was proposed to predict spatially quantized adhesions and jumps with the lattice periodicity on an atomic scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of existing studies of magnetic properties in the far infrared, particularly resonance, reflectivity and transmissivity of antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a review of experimental techniques and results, and theoretical approaches applied to the Schottky barrier formation of group-V covered III-V (1 1 0) surfaces.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of the technique and application of adsorption calorimetry on fine wires, vacuum-evaporated films and single crystal surfaces from its beginning in the 1930s up to the present is reviewed.
