Surface lattice vibration and electron–phonon interaction in Pb(111) ultrathin superconducting films from first principles: both with and without Si substrate
The lattice vibration and electron–phonon (EP) coupling of three types of Pb ultrathin films were calculated from first principles. For free-standing films, our calculations showed that softening and stiffening of the surface phonons coexist. The obtained EP coupling λ and the superconducting transition temperature TC are smaller than their bulk values. For (1× 1)-Pb/Si(111) films, the obtained...

Work function and surface energy per unit area were calculated in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) with Linearized A ug mented Plane Wave Plus Local Orbital method in full potential for a clean symmetric slab of silicon containing two (top and bottom) surfaces. The surfaces were theoretically modeled using supercell technique by stacking a variety of silicon layers along (111)...
متن کاملFine tuning of spin-orbit splitting in Ag ultrathin films deposited on Au(111)
Due to their surface localization, sp-derived Shockley states have been shown to be a unique spectroscopic probe of surface phenomena [1]. In particular, any perturbation of the surface like gas adsorption [2], lateral confinement [3], or surface reconstruction [4] should influence the free-electron like surface state parameters : band minimum, effective mass and lifetime. For exemple, by compa...
متن کاملRole of spin-orbit coupling and hybridization effects in the electronic structure of ultrathin Bi films.
The electronic structure of Bi(001) ultrathin films (thickness > or =7 bilayers) on Si(111)-7x7 was studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. In contrast with the semimetallic nature of bulk Bi, both the experiment and theory demonstrate the metallic character of the films with the Fermi surface formed by spin-orbit-split surface states (SSs) showin...
متن کاملCharge-carrier transport properties of ultrathin Pb films
The charge-carrier transport properties of ultrathin metallic films are analysed with ab-initio methods using the density functional theory (DFT) on free-standing single crystalline slabs in the thickness range between 1 and 8 monolayers and compared with experiments for Pb films on Si(111). A strong interplay between bandstructure, quantised in the direction normal to the ultrathin film, charg...
