Characterizing the wetting of metallic thin films with angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy
The wetting of thin Ag films on Cu 111 is characterized in detail with angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. After constructing disordered Ag films on Cu 111 , we monitored the evolution of their layer-resolved Shockley states during wetting. Our results provide the first observation of a transitional state, which implies a coexistence of clean Cu 111 , 1 ML of Ag on Cu 111 , and 2 ML of A...
متن کاملCoverage-Dependent Modification of the Surface Electronic Structure of an Organic-Semiconductor-Adsorbate Layer
The electronic structure of a hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene (HBC)/ Cu(111) interface is investigated by two-photon photoemission over a range of coverage from 0 to 2 ML monolayers. It is found that increasing the HBC coverage shifts the vacuum level of the Cu substrate until this shift saturates at a coverage of ∼2 ML. Over this same range of coverage, the Shockley and the bare-surface Cu(111) im...
متن کاملPTCDA on Au(111), Ag(111) and Cu(111): Correlation of interface charge transfer to bonding distance
The electronic structure at the interfaces of 3,4,9,10-perylene tetracarboxylic dianhydride (PTCDA) and the metal surfaces Au(111), Ag(111) and Cu(111) was investigated using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). By combining these results with recent X-ray standing wave data from PTCDA on the same substrates clear correlation between the electronic properties and the interface geometry...
متن کاملExchange splitting of the three Γ ̄ surface states of Ni(111) from three-dimensional spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
The valence-band electronic structure of a clean Ni(111) surface is investigated by spin-resolved photoemission. At room temperature the orientation of the photoelectron spins on the Bloch sphere and the exchange splitting of surface and bulk states along the surface normal (Γ̅ ) are determined. All investigated states are found to have a sizable exchange splitting >50 meV. Since the splitting i...
متن کاملRashba-type spin splitting and spin interference of the Cu(111) surface state at room temperature
We report on the measurement of the Rashba-type spin splitting of the Shockley surface state on Cu(111) by spinand angle-resolved photoemission at room temperature. Along the spatial direction expected for a Rashba-type effect the measured spin splitting corresponds to what has previously been reported by first principle calculations which were verified by high resolution ARPES using low temper...
