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.read more

Exploring Ag(111) Substrate for Epitaxially Growing Monolayer Stanene: A First-Principles Study.
TL;DR: The study reveals that Ag(111) surface is an ideal candidate for growing large-area, high-quality monolayer stanene, and the perfect lattice structure of free-standingStanene can be achieved once the epitaxial stanenes monolayers is detached from Ag( 111) surface.

TL;DR: In this article, deep learning networks are developed for automated image analysis and recognition of the defects, creating a library of (meta) stable defect configurations, and density functional theory is used to estimate atomically resolved scanning tunneling microscopy signatures of the classified defects from the created library, allowing identification of several defect types across imaging platforms.
