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. ...

Rare earths and their compounds show many interesting physical phenomena caused by the complex electronic structure related to f electrons. External pressure can affect the hybridization between 5d band electrons and the more atomic-like 4f ones, giving ri ...
We studied the neutral electronic excitations of NiO localized at the Ni sites by measuring the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra at the Ni M-2,M-3 edges. The good energy resolution allows an unambiguous identification of several spectral ...
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) ...
The status of the Volume PhotoEmission (VOLPE) project, now operational at ESRF, is reviewed. Commissioning phase and test experiments confirm that high energy resolution (71 meV at 5934 eV kinetic energy) with truly bulk sensitivity is achievable in Hard ...
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 ...
High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission data from the insulating phase of the charge-density-wave (CDW) material 1T-TaS2 reveal the backfolding of the electronic bands associated with the CDW superlattice, but also an additional, unexpected periodicit ...
The instrument VOLPE (volume photoemission from solids) is an experimental setup dedicated to high energy photoemission (PE) experiments. The instrument is equipped with an electrostatic hemispherical spectrometer especially designed to analyze high energy ...
In this Letter we report the observation, by scanning tunneling microscopy, of a Mott metal to insulator transition at the surface of 1T-TaSe2. Our spectroscopic data compare considerably well with previous angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measure ...
