Evolution of Fermi Level Crossings versus H Coverage on Ws110d

چکیده
Two-dimensional Fermi contours of clean and hydrogen-induced surface electronic states have been systematically measured vs coverage of H on W(110) using angle-resolved photoemission. We observe a new pair of spin-orbit-interaction-split surface states, whose splitting grows systematically with hydrogen coverage and whose Fermi contours are strongly nested due to their opposing curvatures. Momentum-dependent electronic transitions between these states drive two previously observed anomalous behaviors: The phonon anomalies along GH and GS observed with inelastic helium scattering and electron energy loss spectroscopy, and the shifted-upper-layer reconstruction observed by low-energy electron diffraction for coverages greater than 0.5 monolayer.

High-temperature symmetry breaking in the electronic band structure of the quasi-one-dimensional solid NbSe3.
The electronic band structure of the Peierls compound NbSe3 has been explored for its symmetries with microspot synchrotron photoemission. The Fermi level crossings and deviations from one-dimensional behavior are identified. Density-functional calculations of the Fermi surfaces confirm the nesting conditions relevant for the two phase transitions. The instability along the chains with superstr...

The knowledge of nuclear reaction rates is important for studying energy production and nucleosynthesis, especially in reactions including nuclei far from stability line, which are not accessible experimentally so far and thus it is necessary to be able to predict reaction cross sections in low excitation energies. Nuclear level density is one of the important key quantities in many nuclear phy...
متن کاملEnergetics and Solvation Effects at the Photoanode/Catalyst Interface: Ohmic Contact versus Schottky Barrier.
The design of optimal interfaces between photoelectrodes and catalysts is a key challenge in building photoelectrochemical cells to split water. Iridium dioxide (IrO2) is an efficient catalyst for oxygen evolution, stable in acidic conditions, and hence a good candidate to be interfaced with photoanodes. Using first-principles quantum mechanical calculations, we investigated the structural and ...
متن کاملSpin-Orbit Coupling Induced Surface Band Splitting in LiyW(110) and LiyMo(110)
The broken symmetry at surfaces can give rise to a nonzero spin-orbit splitting of valence bands. We observe such a splitting of the d-derived surface state on W(110) and, to a lesser extent, on Mo(110), and follow the evolution of the splitting as monovalent atoms are adsorbed. The observed evolution is directly relevant to recent observations of altered orbital magnetic structure versus adsor...
