• Probing the dynamics of bond formation and relaxation and the associatedenergetics, entrapment and polarization of electrons that mediate theperformance of a substance accordingly.

• Correlating STM/S, UPS, XPS, AES, APECS, and ZPS.

• Formulating bond relaxation and electronic binding energy associated withill-coordinated atoms.

• Quantifying coordination-resolved bond length, bond energy, energy density,atomic cohesive energy, and energy levels of an isolated atom and their shifts.

• Clarifying physical origins and constraints in energetic spectroscopyidentities as quantum entrapment and polarization.

• Unifying under-coordinated adatoms, defects, monolayer skins,nanocrystals, and hetero-coordinated interface and alloys.

• Connecting the skills, knowledge, to applications in predictive design andcontrollable devise of functional materials.
