The authors report experimental evidence for an enhanced density of states at the Fermi level in Al86Mn14 and Al75Mn20Si5 quasicrystals (QC) as indicated by the low-temperature specific heat and resistivity. The excess specific-heat term Δγ is proportional ...
The crystals of the system Ti1−xVxSe2 (C ≤ x ≤ 0.05) undergo a second order structural phase transition. Electron diffraction studies show that the transition temperature decreases with progressive V-doping. The phase transition considerably affects the in ...
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. ...
Random defects destroy long-range phase coherence, and inhibit the metal-insulator transition in the charge density wave (CDW) system 1T-TaS2. Photoelectron spectroscopy with high resolution reveals corresponding changes in the electronic structure. Core l ...
We have exploited the resonant enhancement of the Ce 4f cross section around 120 eV to investigate the nature of the 4f states in CePd3 and CeSb. Our results are qualitatively consistent with the predictions of the Anderson Impurity Model. In CePd3 our hig ...
Cobalt-doping of Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox beyond a critical level of 1.5-1.7 at % produces both a large decrease in the superconducting transition critical temperature and all of the classic symptoms of Anderson localization. These include: a negative slope of the ab ...
We have exploited angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) to study the electronic structure of single crystal samples of high T-c material Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta and of the antiferromagnetic insulator Sr2CuO2Cl2. As one moves away from optimal dopin ...
Photoelectron spectroscopy reveals a striking correspondence between charge-density-wave-related phase transitions and modifications of the electronic structure in 1T-TaS2. High-energy-resolution spectra indicate that the collapse of the Fermi surface is a ...
