We used thermal neutron irradiation to produce disorder in Bi-2212 single crystals (T-c = 85 K), at a constant carrier density. The irradiated samples were insulators. High-temperature superconductivity with a lower T-c than prior to irradiation could be r ...
We measured at high energy and angular resolution the spectral width of photoemission features near the Fermi energy for Ag(100) and for the nearly-two-dimensional metal 2H-NbSe2. The results do not agree with the quadratic width-energy relationship predic ...
Photoelectron spectroscopy with high-energy resolution has been utilized to investigate the charge-density wave (CDW) in 1T-TaS2 between 20 and 360 K. Constant binding-energy curves reveal discontinuities in the temperature dependence of the photoelectron ...
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 ...
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 report high resolution angle-scanned photoemission and Fermi surface (FS) mapping experiments on the layered transition-metal dichalcogenide 1T-TaS2 in the quasicommensurate (metallic) and the commensurate (insulating) charge-density-wave (CDW) phase. I ...
We present an update on recent events concerning ultrabright synchrotron radiation. First and foremost, a new generation of sources has been put in operation in the past few months. Second, microscopy and spectromicroscopy - arguably the techniques that wi ...
The density of states at the Fermi level N(E-F) has been measured on hydrogenated polymorphous (pm-Si:H) silicon samples using both capacitance measurements on Schottky barriers and space-charge-limited current measurements on n(+)/i/n(+) structures. From ...
The reflectivity of TmS single crystals has been measured between 3 meV and 12 eV at room temperature and at 6 K, Besides 3p(6)-5d interband transitions a plasma edge due to free carriers is observed. In the middle infrared (near 50 meV) two sharp lines ar ...
Using high energy resolution angle-resolved photoemission, we have measured both the superconducting gap and the photoemission superconducting condensate spectral area of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu1O8+x as a function of temperature in two different locations of the Brill ...
