The hydrogen response of gas-sensitive field-effect devices is mainly due to trapping of atomic hydrogen on the insulator side of the metal-insulator interface of the metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure. Therefore an influence of the choice of in ...
We present infrared and Raman measurements of magnetite (Fe3O4). This material is known to undergo a metal-insulator and a structural transition (Verwey transition) at T-V = 120 K. The structural aspect of the Verwey transition is disclosed by the appearan ...
Abstract Electronic properties of low-dimensional systems — and particularly quasi-one-dimensional systems — together with related correlated electron phenomena have for quite some time been at the very frontier of condensed matter physics. The interest ra ...
We present ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy studies on alkali metal-intercalated thin films of electroluminescent p-sexiphenyl (6P) and the organic hole transporting material N,N'-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyll-1,1-biphenyl1-4,4'-diamine (alpha-NPD) ...
By angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and polarization-dependent infrared reflectivity measurements the electronic and vibrational properties of the low-dimensional perovskites Sr1-yLayNbO3.5-x were studied along different crystal directions. The el ...
We performed a photoemission investigation of the electronic structure of PrNiO3 and NdNiO3 through the first order (paramagnetic) metal to (antiferromagnetic) insulator transition. Surprisingly, the data reveal a temperature-dependent loss of spectral wei ...
Nucleation and growth models are well developed for nucleation on homogeneous substrates, and they can typically be described-in terms of three energy parameters. Nucleation on substrates containing point-defect traps has been investigated, at the cost of ...
Combined optical and photoemission experiments on the quasi-one dimensional Bechgaard salts reveal the non-Fermi liquid character of these prototype quasi-one dimensional interacting electron systems. We show that various aspects of the exotic normal state ...
We performed optical and photoemission experiments on the Bechgaard salt (TMTSF)(2)ReO4, a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) organic conductor that undergoes a metal-insulator (Peierls) transition at T-c similar to 180 K. As in other compounds of the same family, ...
Random defects destroy long-range phase coherence, and inhibit the metal-insulator transition in the charge density wave (CDW) system IT-TaS/sub 2/. Photoelectron spectroscopy with high resolution reveals corresponding changes in the electronic structure. ...
