Charge distribution and Fermi level in bimetallic nanoparticles

Upon metal-metal contact, a transfer of electrons will occur between the metals until the Fermi levels in both phases are equal, resulting in a net charge difference across the metal-metal interface. Here, we have examined this contact electrification in b ...

Nature and topology of the low-energy states in ZrTe5

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Luca Moreschini, Jens Christian Johannsen

Long known for its peculiar resistivity, showing a thus far unexplained anomalous peak as a function of temperature, ZrTe5 has recently received rising attention in a somewhat different context. While both theoretical and experimental results seem to point ...

In situ photoelectron spectroscopic characterization of reactively sputtered, doped vanadium oxide thin films

Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer, Rosendo Sanjines, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

Thin films of pure vanadium oxide (VOx) and Ge doped vanadium oxide (VOx:Ge) have been deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering on Si (100) substrates. These films were characterized by means of in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and ultraviolet ph ...

SmB6 electron-phonon coupling constant from time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy

Alberto Crepaldi, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

SmB6 is a mixed valence Kondo system resulting from the hybridization between localized f electrons and delocalized d electrons. We have investigated its out-of-equilibrium electron dynamics by means of time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. ...

Free-standing electronic character of monolayer

Andras Kis, Dumitru Dumcenco, Olivier Renault, Yen-Cheng Kung, Ming-Wei Chen, Hokwon Kim

We have evaluated as-grown MoS2 crystals, epitaxially grown on a monocrystalline sapphire by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), with direct electronic band-structure measurements by energy-filtered k-space photoelectron emission microscopy performed with a c ...

Gate Tuning of Electronic Phase Transitions in Two-Dimensional NbSe2

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

Recent experimental advances in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) metals have unveiled a range of interesting phenomena including the coexistence of charge-density-wave (CDW) order and superconductivity down to the monolayer limit. The ...

Oxygen defects in amorphous Al2O3: A hybrid functional study

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Zhendong Guo

The electronic properties of the oxygen vacancy and interstitial in amorphous Al2O3 are studied via ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and hybrid functional calculations. Our results indicate that these defects do not occur in amorphous Al2O3, due to ...

Self-compensation due to point defects in Mg-doped GaN

Alfredo Pasquarello, Giacomo Francesco Leonardo Miceli

Using hybrid density functional theory, we address point defects susceptible to cause charge compensation upon Mg doping of GaN. We determine the free energy of formation of the nitrogen vacancy and of several Mg-related defects. The entropic contribution ...

In situ core-level and valence-band photoelectron spectroscopy of reactively sputtered tungsten oxide films

Andreas Schueler, Anna Krammer, Olivia Valérie Charlotte Bouvard

In this paper, we study tungsten oxides deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering. The total working pressure during deposition was varied in order to obtain different morphology. The effects on the electronic properties and chemical composition were stud ...
