Atomic and Electronic Structure of Bulk Intermetallic and Heteroepitaxially Grown Surface Alloys

It has been well documented that the surfaces of solids may differ from their bulk counterpart. The symmetry that a bulk possesses is broken at the surface. Due to this broken symmetry in the reduced dimension of the surface, the energetic of the surface also differs from the bulk counterpart. Reco...
