Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium-doped DLC coatings were prepared by hybrid PECVD/direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS). In this study, we show that the operating conditions of titanium-doped DLC coatings used for implants in surgical devices si ...
Interaction effects can change materials properties in intriguing ways, and they have, in general, a huge impact on electronic spectra. In particular, satellites in photoemission spectra are pure many-body effects, and their study is of increasing interest ...
A predictive understanding of soft x-ray near-edge absorption spectra of small molecules is an enduring theoretical challenge and of current interest for x-ray probes of molecular dynamics. We report the experimental absorption spectrum for the electron sp ...
The interplay between structural and electronic phases in iron-based superconductors is a central theme in the search for the superconducting pairing mechanism. While electronic nematicity is competing with superconductivity, the effect of purely structura ...
Multiphoton spectroscopy of monodeuterated water is employed to determine more than 210 new energy levels of HDO in the 25 000–35 000 cm region. These new empirical energy levels are used to fit a potential energy surface (PES) valid between 20 000 cm and ...
The electronic spectral function of BaNi2As2 is investigated using both angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and a combined computational scheme of local density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory (LDA + DMFT). In contrast to the we ...
Excitons, Coulomb-bound electron-hole pairs, are the fundamental excitations governing the optoelectronic properties of semiconductors. Although optical signatures of excitons have been studied extensively, experimental access to the excitonic wave functio ...
Molecular spectroscopy is an essential experimental technique in both fundamental physical sciences and applied research. For example, electronic spectroscopy, in which light induces a change in the electronic state of a molecule, is a powerful tool for st ...
Vertical heterostructures of MoS2 and WSe2 layers are studied by spectroscopic photoemission electron microscopy as an effective technique for correlating chemical and electronic states at the micrometer scale. Element-specific, surface-sensitive images re ...
The middle-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range hosts the most intense roto-vibrational absorption lines of many important molecules. Particularly, mid-IR spectroscopy constitutes a unique tool for identifying and quantifying molecular species through their mi ...
