Abstract
A theory is presented for vacuum tunneling between a real solid surface and a model probe with a locally spherical tip, applicable to the recently developed "scanning tunneling microscope." Calculations for 2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1 and 3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}1 reconstructions of Au(110) are in excellent agreement with recent experimental results, if an effective radius of curvature of 9 \AA{} is assumed for the tip.

In-Depth Investigation of Copper Surface Chemistry Modification by Ultrashort Pulsed Direct Laser Interference Patterning.

TL;DR: An in-depth investigation of the chemical surface modification occurring during surface patterning of copper by ultrashort pulsed direct laser interference patterning (USP-DLIP) allows a more targeted use of this technology for surface functionalization.

Micrometre-scale single-crystalline borophene on a square-lattice Cu(100) surface

TL;DR: In this paper , the synthesis of borophene on a square-lattice Cu(100) surface was reported and it was shown that incommensurate coordination reduces the boropoulos-substrate interactions and also leads to a boropshene polymorph different from those previous reported.

Structure of incommensurate gold sulfide monolayer on Au(111)

TL;DR: An atomic-scale model for an ordered incommensurate gold sulfide (AuS) adlayer is developed and its chemistry has implications for related S-Au interfaces, as in those involved in self-assembled monolayers of thiols on Au substrates.

Giant magnetization canting due to symmetry breaking in zigzag Co chains on Ir(001)

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate a canted magnetization of biatomic zigzag Co chains grown on the (5 × 1) reconstructed Ir(001) surface using density functional theory (DFT) calculations and spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SP-STM) experiments.
