Optical Properties And Electronic Structures Of The Intermetallic Compounds Auga2 And Ptga2, Kwang-Joo Kim, Bruce N. Harmon, Liang-Yao Chen, David W. Lynch
Physics and Astronomy Publications
The electronic structures of AuGa2 and PtGa2 have been studied with use of spectroscopic ellipsometry and the dielectric functions have been determined in the 1.2–5.5-eV region. Both compounds show interband absorption at low photon energies (<1.3 eV). The interband absorption for AuGa2 is strong at about 2 eV while that for PtGa2 shows a broad structure in the range 2.5–4.5 eV, with a shoulder at 3.3 eV. The observed interband features in ε2 can be interpreted in terms of self-consistent relativistic band-structure calculations using the linear augmented-plane-wave method. The interband contribution to the imaginary part of the dielectric function εb2 has been calculated including the effect of the electric dipole matrix elements. The overall agreement is good between the band calculations and the ellipsometry results in the 1.2–5.5-eV region for both the magnitude and the positions of the structures. Below 1.2 eV the calculational results for both compounds show interband absorption, which is also qualitatively suggested by the ellipsometry results.
Photoemission Study Of Au On A-Si:H, Tun-Wen Pi, A.-B. Yang, C. G. Olson, David W. Lynch
Photoemission Study Of Au On A-Si:H, Tun-Wen Pi, A.-B. Yang, C. G. Olson, David W. Lynch
Physics and Astronomy Publications
We report a high-resolution photoemission study of Au evaporated on rf-sputtered a-Si:H at room temperature. Three regions of coverage can be classified according to the behavior of the valence-band and core-level spectra: an unreacted region with an equivalent thickness of 2 Å, followed by an intermixed Au/a-Si overlayer (∼9 Å), and a dual-phase region at higher coverage. Au adatoms are dispersed in the unreacted region. They subsequently cluster in the intermixed region, where they attach to Si atoms that are not hydrogen bonded, suggesting that the intermixed Si is mainly from those that have dangling bonds ...
Photoemission Study Of Cr On A-Si:H, Tun-Wen Pi, C. G. Olson, David W. Lynch
Photoemission Study Of Cr On A-Si:H, Tun-Wen Pi, C. G. Olson, David W. Lynch
Physics and Astronomy Publications
We report a synchrotron-radiation photoemission study of Cr evaporated on rf-sputtered a-Si:H at room temperature. The evolution of the interface qualitatively follows that on c-Si, despite differences in the valence-band emission. The interface begins with an inactive layer (≤1 Å) of Cr, followed by an intermixed Cr/a-Si:H layer (≤12 Å). With further Cr deposition, bulklike Cr metal begins to develop on top of these. Some features exhibited by the Cr/a-Si:H interface are specific to a-Si:H surfaces. For instance, Cr adatoms are found around the dangling-bond neighborhood at coverages below ...
High-Resolution Angle-Resolved Photoemission Study Of The Fermi Surface And The Normal-State Electronic Structure Of Bi2sr2cacu2o8, C. G. Olson, R. Liu, David W. Lynch, R. S. List, A. J. Arko, B. W. Veal, Y. C. Chang, P. Z. Jiang, A. P. Paulikas
High-Resolution Angle-Resolved Photoemission Study Of The Fermi Surface And The Normal-State Electronic Structure Of Bi2sr2cacu2o8, C. G. Olson, R. Liu, David W. Lynch, R. S. List, A. J. Arko, B. W. Veal, Y. C. Chang, P. Z. Jiang, A. P. Paulikas
Physics and Astronomy Publications
High-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopic measurements were made of the Fermi edge of a single crystal of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 at 90 K along several directions in the Brillouin zone. The resultant Fermi-level crossings are consistent with local-density band calculations, including a point calculated to be of Bi-O character. Additional measurements were made where bands crossed the Fermi level between 100 and 250 K, along with measurements on an adjacent Pt foil. The Fermi edges of both materials agree to within the noise. Below the Fermi level the spectra show correlation effects in the form of an increased effective mass, but the essence ...
Ce-Catalyzed Oxidation Of Ta(110), C. Gu, David W. Lynch, A. B. Yang, C. G. Olson
Ce-Catalyzed Oxidation Of Ta(110), C. Gu, David W. Lynch, A. B. Yang, C. G. Olson
Physics and Astronomy Publications
Photoemission spectroscopy was used to investigate the initial oxidation of the Ce/Ta(110) interface at room temperature. The oxidation of Ta(110) is dramatically enhanced by a thin Ce overlayer. A Ta suboxide TaOχ (0.5≤χ≤1) is formed first in the interface, followed by the rapid formation of Ta2O5 upon further oxygen exposure. A weak interface reaction exists in Ce/Ta(110), but is excluded as the main cause of the catalytic oxidation. An earlier suggestion is reconfirmed that the Ce layer converts O2 to oxygen ions and thus promotes the oxidation of the substrate.
Inverse-Photoemission Measurement Of Iron Oxides On Polycrystalline Fe, Bong-Soo Kim, Sayong Hong, David W. Lynch
Inverse-Photoemission Measurement Of Iron Oxides On Polycrystalline Fe, Bong-Soo Kim, Sayong Hong, David W. Lynch
Physics and Astronomy Publications
We measured the inverse-photoemission spectra (IPES) of iron oxides grown on an Fe substrate and calculated the band structure of paramagnetic FeO to analyze the IPES. The band-structure calculation showed some overlap between Fe 3d states and O 2p states in the region of occupied states, and s,p-like states of Fe in the unoccupied region. Isochromatic IPES showed two structures at ∼2.5 and ∼7.5 eV above the Fermi energy. We estimated from the IPES data a full band gap of 2.5 eV for FeO.
Interpretation Of The Magnetization Mechanism In Terfenol‐D Using Barkhausen Pulse‐Height Analysis And Irreversible Magnetostriction, David C. Jiles, S. Hariharan
Interpretation Of The Magnetization Mechanism In Terfenol‐D Using Barkhausen Pulse‐Height Analysis And Irreversible Magnetostriction, David C. Jiles, S. Hariharan
Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications
The ternary alloy Dy0.7Tb0.3Fe1.9, known as Terfenol‐D, is a highly magnetostrictive alloy with magnetostriction coefficients along the principal crystallographic directions of λ1 1 1=1640×10−6and λ1 0 0≤100(±30)×10−6. The bulk magnetostriction λ is dependent on the state of magnetization M, on the original domain configuration, and on the texture of the material. This paper reports on Barkhausen measurements and magnetostriction. The pulse‐height distribution of Barkhausen emissions revealed events occurring at a specific amplitude which were stress dependent. The magnetostriction results gave ...
Low-Temperature Epitaxial Growth Of Thin Metal Films, James W. Evans, D. E. Sanders, Patricia A. Thiel, Andrew E. Depristo
Low-Temperature Epitaxial Growth Of Thin Metal Films, James W. Evans, D. E. Sanders, Patricia A. Thiel, Andrew E. Depristo
Chemistry Publications
We present a different mechanism to explain the occurrence of long-lived oscillations in diffraction spot intensities during epitaxial growth of metal films on fcc (100) substrates at low temperature. Rather than rely on the common picture of cyclical nucleation and growth to produce the oscillations, the model invokes ‘‘downward funneling’’ deposition dynamics to fourfold-hollow adsorption sites.
