Depth profile photoemission study of thermally diffused Mn/GaAs (001) interfaces

We have performed a depth profile study of thermally diffused Mn/GaAs (001) interfaces using photoemission spectroscopy combined with Ar$^+$-ion sputtering. We found that Mn ion was thermally diffused into the deep region of the GaAs substrate and completely reacted with GaAs. In the deep region, the Mn 2$p$ core-level and Mn 3$d$ valence-band spectra of the Mn/GaAs (001) sample heated to 600 $^{\circ}$C were similar to those of Ga$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$As, zinc-blende-type MnAs dots, and/or interstitial Mn in tetrahedrally coordinated by As atoms, suggesting that the Mn 3$d$ states were essentially localized but were hybridized with the electronic states of the host GaAs. Ferromagnetism was observed in the dilute Mn phase.

Temperature dependent Luttinger surfaces

The Luttinger surface of an organic metal (TTF-TCNQ), possessing charge order and spin-charge separation, is investigated using temperature dependent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The Luttinger surface topology, obtained from momentum distribution curves, changes from quasi-2D(dimensional) to quasi-1D with temperature. The high temperature quasi-2D surface exhibits 4$k_F$ charge-density-wave (CDW) superstructure in the TCNQ derived holon band, in the absence of 2$k_F$ order. Decreasing temperature results in quasi-1D nested 2$k_F$ CDW order in the TCNQ spinon band and in the TTF surface. The results establish the link in momentum-space between charge order and spin-charge separation in a Luttinger liquid.

Observation of Conduction Band Satellite of Ni Metal by 3p-3d Resonant Inverse Photoemission Study

Resonant inverse photoemission spectra of Ni metal have been obtained across the Ni 3$p$ absorption edge. The intensity of Ni 3$d$ band just above Fermi edge shows asymmetric Fano-like resonance. Satellite structures are found at about 2.5 and 4.2 eV above Fermi edge, which show resonant enhancement at the absorption edge. The satellite structures are due to a many-body configuration interaction and confirms the existence of 3$d^8$ configuration in the ground state of Ni metal.
