Observation of a Bulklike Fermi Surface for a Monolayer of Ni on Cu(001)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We find that the photoelectron angular distributions from the Fermi surface of a monolayer Ni film on Cu are identical to those from thick Ni films and single-crystal Ni(001), and agree well with theoretical predictions for bulk Ni. This bulklike behavior in the monolayer film is attributed to the short screening length of electrons in metals, the similarity of the Ni and Cu cores, and a hybridization between Ni and Cu facilitating an interaction with the underlying crystal field.

SURFACE MAGNETISM OF THE CLEAN Ni (111) SURFACE AND OF A Ni MONOLAYER ON Cu (111)
Results of highly precise all-electron local spin density FLAPW calculations on (i) a close-packed 7-layer Ni (111) slab and (ii) a p (1 x 1) Ni monolayer on Cu (111) are presented. For Ni ( I l l ) , we find an enhancement of the magnetic moment for both the surface (to 0.63 pB) and sub-surface Ni layers (from a center layer value of 0.58 pB). In contrast, a slight decrease of the magnetic hyp...
متن کاملDominance of the final state in photoemission mapping of the fermi surface of Co/Cu(001).
The Fermi surface of tetragonally distorted fcc Co films grown on Cu(001) has been investigated with first-principles calculations and compared with an experimental determination using angle-resolved photoemission. The angular distributions for hnu=21-45 eV are dominated by the structure of the final states rather than by the shape of the Fermi surface. Theoretical estimates of the photoemissio...
متن کاملSurface Modification of Glassy Carbon Electrode by Ni-Cu Nanoparticles as a Competitive Electrode for Ethanol Electro-Oxidation
In the present study, Nickel-Copper nanoparticles were electrodeposited on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by using electroplating deposition method. The prepared electrode was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and elemental mapping analysis. Results showed that Ni-Cu nanoparticles with a high density are distributed at the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. Subsequentl...
متن کاملThe anomaly Cu doping effects on LiFeAs superconductors.
The Cu substitution effect on the superconductivity of LiFeAs has been studied in comparison with Co/Ni substitution. It is found that the shrinking rate of the lattice parameter c for Cu substitution is much smaller than that of Co/Ni substitution. This is in conjugation with the observation of ARPES that shows almost the same electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FSs) size for undoped and Cu subs...
متن کاملThe influence of surface roughness on electrical conductance of thin Cu films: An ab initio study
First-principles calculations show that atomic-scale surface roughness dramatically affects the electrical conductivity of thin films. Atomic clusters, 1–3 atoms high, deposited on the flat Cu 001 surface of an 11 monolayer thick film lead to a 30−40% reduction of its conductance. This is attributed to the destruction of isotropic Fermi surface sheets. We provide a simple parametrized formula, ...
