Fidgety particles on surfaces: how do they jump, walk, group, and settle in virgin areas?
TL;DR: In this article, the history and current status of surface diffusion, its vital importance in diverse surface phenomena and numerous industrial applications, the recent significant progress in its understanding, and, in particular, many unsettled questions concerning surface diffusion mechanisms are described.

Electron–phonon coupling at metal surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the renormalization of surface phonon and electron dispersion due to electron-phonon coupling as well as the impact of the electron and phonon interaction on the lifetime of electronic excitations.

Observation of top-site adsorption for Xe on Cu(111)
TL;DR: In this article, a low-energy electron diffraction study of Cu(111) −(√ 3×√3)R30°Xe at 50 K indicates that Xe atoms occupy the top sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
A fresh look at an old nano-technology: catalysis.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how charge transfer between the support and the particle determines the shape of nanoparticles and a concept is developed that uses charge transfer control through dopants in the support to understand and design catalytically active materials.

Introduction to solid state physics
TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree-Fock Approximation of many-body techniques and the Electron Gas Polarons and Electron-phonon Interaction are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ordering, metastability and phase transitions in two-dimensional systems
TL;DR: In this article, a new definition of order called topological order is proposed for two-dimensional systems in which no long-range order of the conventional type exists, and the possibility of a phase transition characterized by a change in the response of the system to an external perturbation is discussed in the context of a mean field type of approximation.

Adsorbate-substrate and adsorbate-adsorbate interactions of Na and K adlayers on Al(111)
TL;DR: The interesting result of the studied systems is that the difference in bond strengths between the ``normal'' and substitutional geometries is sufficiently large to kick out a surface Al atom.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dislocation-mediated melting in two dimensions
TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of dislocation-mediated melting in two dimensions is described in detail, with an emphasis on results for triangular lattices on both smooth and periodic substrates, and the behavior of the specific heat, structure factor, and various elastic constants near these transitions is worked out.
