Measuring the Electronic Structure of Atomically Uniform Silver Films Grown on Silicon Using Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

Abstract

dc:description

As the film thickness increases, the electronic structure evolves to form the bulk band continuum plus separates surfaces states. A careful analysis of this evolution allows us to separate surface from bulk effects, an important and troubling problem in photoemission spectroscopy. As a result, we are able to clearly identify, for the first time, many surface states buried in the pockets of the d-band manifold that had previously only been theoretically predicted.
