Direct observation of surface plasmon-polariton dispersion.
We describe a method to observe the directional emission of electromagnetic radiation produced by the radiative decay of surface plasmonpolaritons (SPPs) that allows the dispersion of the modes in k-space to be directly visualized. The method presented here opens up the possibility of characterizing the effect of a wide range of surface morphologies on SPP dispersion. As an example we show the ...
متن کاملDirect observation of H2 binding to a metal oxide surface.
Inelastic neutron scattering is used to probe the dynamical response of H2 films adsorbed on MgO(100) as a function of film thickness. Concomitant diffraction measurements and a reduced-dimensionality quantum dynamical model provide insight into the molecule-surface interaction potential. At monolayer thickness, the rotational motion is strongly influenced by the surface, so that the molecules ...
متن کاملDirect observation of charge transfer at a MgO(111) surface.
Transmission electron diffraction (TED) combined with direct methods have been used to study the sqrt[3]xsqrt[3]R30 degrees reconstruction on the polar (111) surface of MgO and refine the valence charge distribution. The surface is nonstoichiometric and is terminated by a single magnesium atom. A charge-compensating electron hole is localized in the next oxygen layer and there is a nominal char...
متن کاملDirect observation of strain-induced change in surface electronic structure.
We have observed a novel modification of a surface state due to a local strain field induced by a nanopattern formation. N adsorption on the Cu(100) surface induces a nanoscale grid pattern, where the clean Cu regions remain periodically. The lattice is contracted on the clean region by adjacent c(2 x 2)N domains, which have a larger lattice constant. On this patterned surface, we have investig...
متن کاملDirect Observation of Superheating and Supercooling of Vortex Matter using Neutron Diffraction
We report the first observation of a striking history dependence of the structure function of the vortex matter in the peak effect regime in a Nb single crystal by using small angle neutron scattering combined with in situ magnetic susceptibility measurements. Metastable phases of vortex matter, supercooled vortex liquid and superheated vortex solid, have been identified. We interpret our resul...
