We used a pump-probe technique to measure the transient change of optical reflectivity of both La2-xSrxCuO4, of various dopings, and slightly underdoped YBa2Cu3O7-x and NdBa2Cu3O7-x thin films. For the La2-xSrxCuO4 films, our data demonstrate the coexisten ...
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 ...
In YBa2Cu3O6+x the tetragonal to orthorhombic transition occurs around x equals 0.3, followed by a continuum variation of lattice parameters. Hence both, the structural and superconducting properties, depend upon the oxygen content in CuO chains. Conversel ...
One of the intrinsic difficulties for in situ photoemission studies of high T-c oxide films is the surface volatility, especially the oxygen loss. In order to solve this problem, we have constructed a dedicated system for high T-c film surface studies, in ...
We report on improved structural, crystallographic and electrical properties of epitaxial NdBa2Cu3O7-delta (NBCO) films grown on SrTiO3 by 'off-axis' pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Transport and XRD studies show that the c-axis-oriented epitaxial films, wi ...
We briefly summarize well established and the latest experimental results concerning the doping dependence of the so-called pseudogap (T*) and emphasize that surface related techniques, like ARPES or tunneling, give somewhat higher value of T* as compared ...
We report temperature-dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectra for overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+alpha single-crystal samples. The data indicate that there is a special temperature (T+) where the spectral function changes intensity, and where the energy di ...
Properties of ultra-thin films are different from their single crystal counterparts due to the presence of (substrate induced) strain, different degree and type of (growth induced) disorder and different average doping (distribution of oxygen vacancies, fo ...
