An instrument for the investigation of actinides with spin resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new system for spin resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy has been built and commissioned at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory for the investigation of the electronic structure of the actinides. Actinide materials are very toxic and radioactive and therefore cannot be brought to most general user facilities for spectroscopic studies. The technical details of the new system and preliminary data obtained therein will be presented and discussed.

Spectrum for nonmagnetic mott insulators from power functional within reduced density matrix functional theory.
We demonstrate that reduced density matrix functional theory (RDMFT), in conjunction with the power functional, can successfully treat the nonmagnetic insulating state of the transition metal oxides NiO and MnO, finding for both a gapped single particle spectrum. While long-range spin order is thus not necessary for qualitative agreement with experiment, we find that it is required for good agr...
متن کاملAn investigation of electron-phonon coupling via phonon dispersion measurements in graphite using angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy
Electron-phonon coupling (EPC) plays an important role in solid state physics. Here, we demonstrate an experimental method that enables investigation of the elemental processes of the indirect transition, in which EPC participates in photoexcitation in solids, by resolving the energy and momentum of phonons and electrons simultaneously. For graphite, we used angle-resolved photoelectron spectro...
متن کاملEvidence for the half-metallic ferromagnetic state of Fe3O4 by spin-resolved photoelectron
The spin-dependent electronic structure of thin epitaxial films of magnetite, Fe3O4(111), has been investigated at room temperature by means of spin-, energy-, and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Near the Fermi energy EF a spin polarization of 2(8065)% is found. The spin-resolved photoemission spectra for binding energies between 1.5 eV and EF show good agreement with spin-split band...
متن کاملSpin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy of the MgO/Fe(110) system
The surface structure and electronic properties of ultrathin MgO layers grown on epitaxial Fe(110) films were investigated at room temperature by means of electron diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. The spin polarization at the Fermi level (EF) of the Fe(110) film decreases sharply with increasing thickness of t...

Electronic and structural properties of ultrathin MgO layers grown on epi-taxial Fe(110) films were investigated at room temperature by means of spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger-electron spectroscopy, and low energy electron diffraction. The spin polarization at the Fermi level of the Fe(110) film decreases abruptly with increasing thickness of MgO layer up to 7 ˚ A. This behavio...
