Sputtering-induced reemergence of the topological surface state in Bi2Se3

Jan Hugo Dil, Stefan Peter Muff, Thorsten Schmitt, Vladimir N. Strocov

We study the fate of the surface states of Bi2Se3 under disorder with strength larger than the bulk gap, caused by neon sputtering and nonmagnetic adsorbates. We find that neon sputtering introduces strong but dilute defects, which can be modeled by a unit ...

Optical properties of small metal clusters

Chongqi Yu

This thesis is devoted to the study of the optical properties of small metal clusters and metal cluster organic compounds. For this purpose a ultra-high vacuum (UHV) experimental apparatus has been built which allows for the deposition of mass selected neu ...

Spectroscopy of 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) attached to rare gas samples: Clusters vs. bulk matrices. I. Absorption spectroscopy

Wolfgang Harbich, Alexandre Rydlo, Stefan Minniberger, Matthieu Dvorak

The interaction between 3, 4, 9, 10-perylenetetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and rare gas or para-hydrogen samples is studied by means of laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectroscopy. The comparison between spectra of PTCDA embedded in a neon matr ...

Ultraviolet-visible absorption of small silver clusters in neon: Ag-n (n=1-9)

Wolfgang Harbich, Sylvain Lecoultre, Alexandre Rydlo

We present optical absorption and fluorescence spectra in the UV-visible range of size selected neutral Ag-n clusters (n = 1-9) in solid neon. Rich and detailed optical spectra are found with linewidths as small as 50 meV. These spectra are compared to tim ...

Gold dimer in neon: an absorption and fluorescence study

Wolfgang Harbich, Sylvain Lecoultre, Alexandre Rydlo

We report for the first time the absorption and fluorescence spectra of gold dimers in a neon matrix. The dimer absorption spectra show the A←X transition predicted from measurements in the gas phase and not observed so far in a matrix, as well as the so-c ...
