Momentum and photon energy dependence of the circular dichroic photoemission in the bulk Rashba semiconductors BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl)

Helmuth Berger, Arnaud Magrez, Marco Grioni, Oleg Yazyev, Philippe Bugnon, Alberto Crepaldi, Luca Moreschini, Gabriel Albert Autes, Jens Christian Johannsen, Cédric Tournier-Colletta

Bulk Rashba systems BiTeX (X = I, Br, Cl) are emerging as important candidates for developing spintronics devices because of the coexistence of spin-split bulk and surface states, along with the ambipolar character of the surface charge carriers. The need ...

Observation of filled states at the Fermi-level in alkali-metal intercalated organic films: dependence on substrate work function

Marco Grioni

We present ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy studies on alkali metal-intercalated thin films of electroluminescent p-sexiphenyl (6P) and the organic hole transporting material N,N'-bis-(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyll-1,1-biphenyl1-4,4'-diamine (alpha-NPD) ...

Volatile two-dimensional electron gas in ultrathin BaTiO3 films

Marco Grioni, Simon Karl Moser, Luca Moreschini, Sara Fatale

We investigate the metallic surface state in ultrathin films of BaTiO3 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find Fermi-surface contours derived from the Ti 3d t(2g) conduction band, similar as in SrTiO3 but with broader spectral features due to ...

Low-temperature spin-state transition in LaCoO3 investigated using resonant x-ray absorption at the CoK edge

Marco Grioni

LaCoO3 displays two broad anomalies in the DC magnetic susceptibility chi(DC), occurring, respectively, around 50 K and 500 K. We have investigated the first of them within the 10 K < T < RT temperature range using Co K alpha(1) x-ray absorption spectrosco ...

Orbital selective overlayer-substrate hybridization in a Pb monolayer on Ag(111)

Klaus Kern, Frédéric Mila, Harald Brune, Marco Grioni, Thomas Gloor, Stephan Fedrigo

The electronic structure of a Pb overlayer on Ag(111) has been studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We identify three p bands. While the p(xy) bands are sharp and closely resemble the corresponding bands of a free-standing Pb layer, the p( ...

Polarization dependence of angle-resolved photoemission with submicron spatial resolution reveals emerging one-dimensionality of electrons in NbSe3

Miguel Angel Valbuena, Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis

In materials with nearly commensurate band filling the electron liquid may spontaneously separate into components with distinct properties, yielding complex intra- and interunit cell ordering patterns and a reduced dimensionality. Polarization-dependent an ...

Electronic structure of one-dimensional copper oxide chains in LiCu2O2 from angle-resolved photoemission and optical spectroscopy

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni

Angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) and optical measurements were performed on single crystal samples of LiCu2O2, an antiferromagnetic S=1/2 spin-chain compound. The ARPES spectra show several dispersive branches associated with hybrid copper-oxygen state ...

Spin-orbit split two-dimensional electron gas with tunable Rashba and Fermi energy

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini

We demonstrate that it is possible to tune the Rashba energy, introduced by a strong spin-orbit splitting, and the Fermi energy in a two-dimensional electron gas by a controlled change of stoichiometry in an artificial surface alloy. In the BixPb1-x/Ag(111 ...

High-energy photoemission in silver: resolving d and sp contributions in valence band spectra

Marco Grioni

We present high-resolution valence band and core level spectra of silver for photoelectron kinetic energies up to 8 keV. At these kinetic energies we estimate a surface contribution of less than 3%. Taking advantage of the favourable sp/d relative cross-se ...

Influence of the substrate on the spin-orbit splitting in surface alloys on (111) noble-metal surfaces

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini

We have studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy the ordered XCu2 surface alloys formed by X=Sb and Bi on a Cu(111) substrate. We found clear analogies with the corresponding XAg2 alloys formed by the same elements on Ag(111). The electronic st ...

Assessing the atomic contribution to the Rashba spin-orbit splitting in surface alloys: Sb/Ag(111)

Klaus Kern, Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini

We have studied the electronic structure of the Ag(111)(root 3x root 3)R30 degrees-Sb surface alloy by angle-resolved photoemission. We find two hybrid surface bands, similar to the isostructural Ag(111)-Bi interface. The spin-orbit coupling induced spin s ...

Photoemission as a probe of coexisting and conflicting periodicities in low-dimensional solids

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Luca Perfetti

When two different periodic potentials are present at the same time in a solid, the electron wavefunctions must conform to the resulting overall periodicity. It is the case of the broken-symmetry phases which are often observed in low-dimensional systems. ...
