Insight into the electronic structure of semiconducting epsilon-GaSe and epsilon-InSe

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Alberto Crepaldi, Daniela Pacilè

Metal monochalcogenides (MX) have recently been rediscovered as two-dimensional materials with electronic properties highly dependent on the number of layers. Although some intriguing properties appear in the few-layer regime, the carrier mobility of MX co ...

Structural investigation of InSe layered semiconductors

Helmuth Berger, Daniela Pacilè

During the last decade, III-VI layered semiconductors (GaSe, InSe, GaS, etc.) have emerged as potential candidates for various applications, such as FET and optoelectronic devices. The properties of this class of layered materials are strongly dependent on ...

Two Distinct Phases of Bilayer Graphene Films on Ru(0001)

Harald Brune, Marco Grioni, Stefano Rusponi, Donat Fabian Natterer, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Anne Lehnert, Daniela Pacilè, Quentin Dubout

By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy we reveal the structural and electronic properties of multilayer graphene on Ru(0001). We prove that large ethylene exposure allows the synthesis of two distinct phase ...

Electronic properties and atomic structure of graphene oxide membranes

Klaus Kern, Daniela Pacilè, Marko Burghard, Ravi Shankar Sundaram

We have performed a near-edge X-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) and a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigation of freely suspended graphene oxide (GO) sheets. We utilized a photoemission electron microscope to identify GO membranes and t ...

Spin-orbit split two-dimensional electron gas with tunable Rashba and Fermi energy

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Daniela Pacilè

We demonstrate that it is possible to tune the Rashba energy, introduced by a strong spin-orbit splitting, and the Fermi energy in a two-dimensional electron gas by a controlled change of stoichiometry in an artificial surface alloy. In the BixPb1-x/Ag(111 ...

Near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure investigation of graphene

Marco Grioni, Daniela Pacilè

We report the near-edge x-ray absorption fine-structure (NEXAFS) spectrum of a single layer of graphite (graphene) obtained by micromechanical cleavage of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite on a SiO2 substrate. We utilized a photoemission electron microscop ...

Giant spin splitting through surface alloying

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Daniela Pacilè

The long-range ordered surface alloy Bi/Ag(111) is found to exhibit a giant spin splitting of its surface electronic structure due to spin-orbit coupling, as is determined by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. First-principles electronic structure ...

Photoemission and optical studies of ZrSe3, HfSe3, and ZrS3

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Daniela Pacilè

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and optical measurements were performed on single crystal samples of ZrSe3, HfSe3, and ZrS3, which belong to the class of low-dimensional band insulators. By ARPES, we traced the dispersion of the (S 3p, Se ...

Local detection of spin-orbit splitting by scanning tunneling spectroscopy

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Daniela Pacilè, Peter Wahl

We demonstrate that the spin-orbit coupling of two-dimensional surface states can be detected locally by scanning-tunneling spectroscopy (STS). The spin splitting of the surface state induces a singularity in the local density of states which can be detect ...
