Quantum-well wave-function localization and the electron-phonon interaction in thin Ag nanofilms.
The electron-phonon interaction in thin Ag nanofilms epitaxially grown on Cu(111) is investigated by temperature-dependent and angle-resolved photoemission from silver quantum-well states. Clear oscillations in the electron-phonon coupling parameter as a function of the silver film thickness are observed. Different from other thin film systems where quantum oscillations are related to the Fermi...
متن کاملElectron–interface phonon interaction in multiple quantum well structures
Intersubband relaxation rates due to electron interactions with the interface phonons are evaluated for multiple quantum well structures designed for step quantum well lasers operating at mid-infrared to submillimetre wavelengths. The interface phonon modes and electron–phonon interaction Hamiltonians for the structures are derived using the transfer matrix method, based on the macroscopic diel...
متن کاملElectronic-structure dependence of the electron-phonon interaction in Ag.
The linewidths of sp- and d-band derived electronic quantum-well states in thin films of Ag on Fe(100) are measured as a function of temperature to yield the electron-phonon coupling parameters. The results vary by a factor of up to 35 among the different states. The origin of these huge differences is traced to the decay path selection for the various initial states of the holes created by the...
متن کاملElectron - phonon interaction in thin copper and gold films
We have studied the electron-phonon (e-p) interaction in thin Cu and Au films at sub-Kelvin temperatures with the help of the hot electron effect, using symmetric normal metal-insulator-superconductor tunnel junction pairs as thermometers. By Joule heating the electron gas and measuring the electron and the lattice temperatures simultaneously, we show that the electron-phonon scattering rate fo...
متن کاملA NUMERICAL RENORMALIZATION GROUP APPROACH FOR AN ELECTRON-PHONON INTERACTION
A finite chain calculation in terms of Hubbard X-operators is explored by setting up a vibronic Harniltonian. The model conveniently transformed into a form so that in the case of strong coupling a numerical renormalization group approach is applicable. To test the technique, a one particle Green function is calculated for the model Harniltonian
