Plasmons in a Square of Two-Dimensional Electrons

Microwave absorption spectra of a single square of two-dimensional electrons (2DES) have been investigated using an optical detection technique. Fundamental dipole and harmonic quadrupole plasmon modes have been identified and compared to those in the disk geometry. In the square-shaped 2DES, a strong interaction is discovered between the neighboring plasmon modes, whereas no such hybridization is observed in the disk-shaped geometry. We establish a rigid theoretical platform to analytically describe the magneto-optical response of confined two-dimensional systems. The developed theory provides a proper description of the obtained experimental results.

Atomic structure of the single step and dynamics of Sn adatoms on the Si(111)-\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}-Sn surface

The atomic structure of well-ordered single steps on the Si(111)-\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}-Sn surface and the dynamics of Sn adatoms in the vicinity of these steps was studied. The work was performed using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and ab initio calculations based on the density-functional theory. The STM tip was used to record the tunneling current versus time on top of oscillating adatoms, keeping the feedback loop turned off. The dynamics of adatoms, detected as the telegraph noise present in the tunneling current, was registered near the steps at 80 K. The atomic structure model of the single steps consisting of Sn atomic chains along the steps was developed. This structure leads to the formation of potential double wells near the steps acting as traps for Sn atoms and explains the fluctuating current recorded in these areas.
