We have studied metallic SrVO3 and CaVO3 by inverse photoemission and high-resolution photoemission. In going from Sr to Ca, considerable spectral weight is transferred from the coherent band to the upper and lower Hubbard bands. Meanwhile, the overall intensity rather than the width of the coherent band decreases, implying that the bandwidth remains finite as the system approaches the Mott transition. The result implies that the e6'ect of long-range Coulomb interaction as well as short-range interaction becomes increasingly important towards the transition.It is well known that electron correlation enhances the conduction electron mass m * in metals. The mass should diverge toward a metal-insulator transition if the transition is of second order and the carrier number remains finite up to the transition point. ' Recent studies of a filling-control system La& Sr"Ti03 suggest that such a mass divergence indeed occurs in the electronic specific heats and the magnetic susceptibilities. ' In bandwidthcontrol systems, where the ratio between the interaction strength U and the bandwidth 8' is varied for a fixed band filling, a mass divergence has also been predicted by Brinkman and Rice. Recent studies of the infinitedimension Hubbard model at half filling indicate that the coherent quasiparticle (QP) band, which crosses the Fermi level (EF), is narrowed with U/W while the spectral intensity at E~r emains unaltered.In previous work, ' we made photoemission studies of various compounds with a d ' configuration ranging from a Mott-Hubbard insulator to a normal metal (YTi03, LaTi03, SrVO3, VO2, and Re03) in order to investigate how the single-particle spectral function p(co) evolves with U/W across the transition. The result has shown that, with increasing U/W; spectral weight is transferred from the coherent part (QP excitations) around E~to the incoherent part (reminiscent of the lower Hubbard band) -1.5 eV below EF, but that the overall intensity rather than the bandwidth of the coherent part appears to decrease in contrast to what has been predicted by the Hubbard-model calculations. From analysis of the photoemission spectra using a phenomenological self-energy correction, it has been suggested that the mass enhancement associated with the spectral weight transfer is largely compensated for by the band widening which is represented by an increasing degree of the k dependence of the self-energy. However, the limited energy resolution in the previous work ' has precluded detailed and unambiguous information about the low-energy electronic structure of these compounds such as the presence or absence of the narrow QP band at Ez, as predicted theoretically.In order to clarify these points, we have performed detailed photoemission and inverse-photoemission spectroscopy [bremsstrahlung isochromat spectroscopy (BIS)] studies of two metallic compounds CaVO& and SrVO3.With much improved energy resolution, we have established that the intensity at EF indeed decreases with U/W, and that there is no detectable narrow peak in the...
We have studied Y 1Ϫx Ca x TiO 3 by photoemission and inverse-photoemission spectroscopy. Valence-band photoemission spectra show a d-band peak ϳ1.4 eV below the Fermi level (E F ), which evolves into the lower Hubbard band in the xϭ 0 (d 1 ) limit. The spectra show quasiparticle emission at E F with an extremely small spectral weight, zϳ0.01, which vanishes as the system approaches either the Mott insulator limit (xϭ0) or the band insulator limit (xϭ1). Correspondingly, inverse-photoemission spectra show the upper Hubbard band and a quasiparticle feature in the unoccupied state. The fact that the observed quasiparticle spectral weight is smaller than that of La 1Ϫx Sr x TiO 3 is attributed to the larger U/W, where U is the on-site d-d Coulomb energy and W is the d-band-width. The presence of the ϳ1.4-eV peak for a nearly empty d band (xϳ 1͒ and the small spectral weight at E F cannot be explained within the Hubbard model, indicating the importance of interactions which are not included in the model, such as the long-range Coulomb interaction and the electron-phonon interaction.
Single-cell analyses have recently become important to understand cell heterogeneity, the mechanism of cell function, and diseases. In contrast to single-cell analyses that target nucleic acids, single-cell protein analyses still...
