Title : Bring nanowires down to the real bottom: atomic wires on silicon surfaces

Abstract :
  During last ten years, we have investigated metallic atomic wire arrays of In, Au, Gd, and Pb self-assembled on silicon surfaces. These wires have truly atomic dimension in width and thus are the thinnest wires one can get.
The motivations have been twofold; they might be (i) exploited in future
nano- or molecular-scale device architectures and (ii) useful as a new class of model systems for physics studies on low dimensional electrons. In particular, these systems feature well-defined multiple 1D electron bands, which drive Peierls-type metal-insulator transitions through strong electron-lattice interactions [1].
  In the first half of this talk, I will review the present understanding of these atomic wires focusing on the metal-insulator transitions. In the second part of the talk, I will introduce a few recent systems and issues such as Pb/Si(557) [2] and Au/Si(110), which are stable at low temperature against the Peierls instability. In these systems, interesting electron-electron interactions were observed, which lead to giant kink in the electron dispersion and the possibility of non-Fermi liquid behaviors. A few future directions in this prospering filed of researches will be suggested, such as doping and breaking down the wires into finite length rods.
