| Research |
| We have been interested in the problem of why the sticking probability is larger in the vicinity of steps than in the flat portion of metal surfaces. We calculated the van der Waals energy between an atom and a surface with a step. We also used LMTO (linear muffin-tin orbitals) method to calculate the electronic structure of Cu flat and stepped surfaces, respectively found in some semiconductors, including nonlinear dynamical behavior of n-GaAs doped with deep impurities at room temperature; and construction of a theoretical model to explain the observed longisemiconductors at liquid helium temperature. Teaching interests are solid state theory and statistical physics, etc.. |
