At the lowest fluencies, there is a power law divergence in the relaxation time.

Research paper thumbnail of Surface effects on YBa2Cu3O7−δ by angle-resolved photoemission

In the spectra it is very pronounced around the X(Y) point of the Brillouin zone where its binding energy is 0.92 eV. It shows slight k ∥ -, no k ⊥-dispersion , and a strong sensitivity to surface contamination. The existence of this state points to a rearrangement of electron charge in the surface layers and consequences for the superconducting behaviour on the surface of 1:2:3 superconductors will be discussed.

Research paper thumbnail of Band-gap engineering with HfSxSe2-x

Physical Review B, 2004

ABSTRACT The band gaps of HfS2 (1.96 eV) and HfSe2 (1.13 eV) cover the range of ideal band gaps f... more ABSTRACT The band gaps of HfS2 (1.96 eV) and HfSe2 (1.13 eV) cover the range of ideal band gaps for photovoltaic applications which is for a single-junction cell about 1.45 eV and for a two-junction cell about 1.1 eV and 1.8 eV. Additionally, in favor of applications the transition-metal dichalcogenides have a strong tendency to grow as thin films due to their quasi-two-dimensional character. Employing the chemical vapor transport method, single crystals of this ternary semiconductor were grown with nine different compositions. They were characterized in detail by low-energy electron diffraction, Laue diffraction, and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. In addition the absorption at room temperature was measured, revealing an absorption coefficient alpha(hnu) that is remarkably high for an indirect semiconductor. The determined band gaps of HfSxSe2-x show a nearly linear dependence on x, which is perfect for band-gap engineering. Furthermore, in the gap an exponential behavior of alpha(hnu) is observed, which could be interpreted as an Urbach tail.

The exact shape of the superconducting dome in the Bi-cuprates depends on the proper determination of the hole content in the CuO2 layers. Single crystals of Bi (Pb)-2201 were studied over a wide doping range from the overdoped to the heavily underdoped regime by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) in order to determine the hole content of the compounds. By analysing the Cu-LIII edge this technique proved to be successful for polycrystalline oxide-based high-Tc superconductors, while for single crystals an ...

Research paper thumbnail of Spin orbit splitting in the valence bands of ZrSxSe2−x: Angle resolved photoemission and density functional theory

Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena, 2013

ABSTRACT Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation has been performed... more ABSTRACT Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation has been performed on 1T–ZrSxSe2−x, where x varies from 0 to 2, in order to study the influence of the spin-orbit interaction in the valence bands. The crystals were grown by chemical vapour transport technique using Iodine as transport agent. A characteristic splitting of the chalcogen p-derived valence bands along high symmetry directions has been observed experimentally. The size of the splitting increases with the increase of the atomic number of the chalcogenide, e.g. at the A point of the Brillouin zone from 0.06 eV to 0.31 eV with an almost linear dependence with x, as progressing from ZrS2 towards ZrSe2, respectively. Electronic structure calculations based on the density functional theory have been performed using the model of Tran–Blaha [1] and the modified version of the exchange potential proposed by Becke and Johnson [2] (TB–MBJ) both with and without spin-orbit (SO) coupling. The calculations show that the splitting is mainly due to spin-orbit coupling and the degeneracy of the valance bands is lifted.

Research paper thumbnail of High temperature oxygen NEXAFS valence band spectra and conductivity of LaFe3/4Ni1/4O3 from 300 K to 773 K

The spectra show in the pre-edge a small hole doped peak originating from Ni substitution. The relative spectral weight of this transition to the weight of the hybridized O (2p)-Fe (3d) transitions scales with T and has a maximum at around 600 K. The characteristic energies of the thermal activated spectral intensity and conductivity suggest that the concentration of charge transferred electrons from O (2p) to ...

Research paper thumbnail of Polaron character of the near-E F band of cleaved In 2 O 3 (111) single crystals

EPL (Europhysics Letters), 2016

Several criteria to pin down Fermi level crossings and Fermi momenta were applied. The near-E F band is of three-dimensional character connected to the bottom of the conduction band. Since the model of a degenerate semiconductor due to high n-type doping is not sufficient the interaction of electron and phonon degrees of freedom is discussed. It is found that the model of Landau-Pekar polarons is capable of describing the observed lineshape qualitatively and the bandwidth of the occupied part of the conduction band quantitatively.

The crystals were grown by the chemical vapor transport technique using iodine as a transport agent. They are found to be degenerate extrinsic n -type semiconductors with an indirect bandgap character. The experimental valence band structure of the complete series of ZrS x Se 2− x is reported along the major symmetry azimuthal directions in the Brillouin zone parallel to the layers. The results show that the binding energies of the topmost valence band shift almost linearly with the composition parameter x . Further, an emission from the conduction band minimum observed just below the Fermi edge enabled us to estimate the energy gap values. The electronic structure deduced from the photoemission measurements are discussed and compared to band structure calculations.
