A grounded structure can interact with a lightning flash in two different ways. It can interact either with a downward or upward lightning flash. The initiation of a downward lightning flash takes place in the cloud, whereas in the case of upward lightning flash, the point of initiation is usually at the tip of a tall…

The electronic properties of nanometer size Au(111) vacancy islands are modified by covering the islands with an atomically thin NaCl(001) layer. The large-scale commensurability between the atomic lattices of the cover layer and the islands gives rise to various Moiré-effect-induced standing wave patterns of which th…
