Following introductory remarks on the "future history" of superconductivity, I discuss several discrepances concerning doping dependence of the "pseudogap" and open questions across the complex electronic phase diagram. I argue that once we understand the ...
The temperature-dependent damping of quantum-mechanical interference patterns from surface-state electrons scattering off steps on Ag(111) and Cu(111) has been studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy in the temperature range 3,5- ...
Leakage conduction of (Pb, La)(Zr, Ti)O-3 (PLZT) films grown on Pt bottom electrode, with Pt and Pt/SrRuO3 (Pt/SRO) top electrodes is studied. It is found that the conduction behavior of the ferroelectric capacitors strongly varies depending on the degree ...
This thesis is concerned with the theoretical study of the physical characteristics of metallic surfaces. Ab initio quantum calculations are performed to determine the electronic properties of clean elemental metal surfaces, fully accounting for the materi ...
Ethylene oxidn. on IrO2, which is a metal-type conducting metal oxide, and on Pt and Rh was used as a model reaction to compare the rate enhancement and kinetic modification induced by (i) electrochem. promotion (non-Faradaic electrochem. modification of c ...
A 13 T-46 kA Nb3Al conductor with steel jacket has been developed in the framework of ITER-EDA. The thermal strain will appear on the Nb3Al strands after heat treatment, when the steel jacket is used because of difference in their thermal expansion. The co ...
We use infrared-visible double-resonance overtone excitation to prepare HOCl molecules in single, well-characterized rotational levels of the high OH stretching states v(OH) = 7 and v(OH) = 8. This work extends our recent studies on HOCl dissociation dynam ...
We discuss our systematic series of experiments on the photoelectric detection of the Fermi edge using a cylindrical mirror analyser on films of high-T-c oxides. grown in situ by pulsed laser ablation. The Fermi edge (comparable to the edge of the referenc ...
Recent high-resolution photoemission results on high-T-c superconductors and other low-dimensional systems solve some critical issues but also open new fundamental questions. A recent breakthrough enabled us to clarify the interplay of conflicting periodic ...
A review. Recent work on the charge transport in mesoscopic nanostructured film electrodes is summarized. Results from intensity-modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) studies are given, and the ...
