X-ray photoemission spectra of the valence bands of the3dtransition metals, Sc to Fe

Electron energy loss spectroscopy study of nickel, chromium and a nickel–chromium alloy

“…They have consequently been as- signed as excitations due to the surface and bulk plasmons [15], which is also in accordance with previous ELS studies [16][17][18]. The energy loss feature at 4.8 eV is consistent with a d → d transition from filled 3d states in the valence band to unfilled 3d states in the conduction band [16][17][18][19]. A similar feature is observed in the Ni ELS spectra at 3.7 eV (Fig.…”

Million-atom molecular dynamics simulations of magnetic iron

“…Fig. 1 shows that the inclusion of four exact moments in the recursion expansion makes it possible to reproduce the experimentally observed [26] two-peak structure of the density of states. At the same time Fig.…”

Mn doped ZnTe(1 1 0)-(1 × 1) surface in resonant photoemission study

“…The photoemission spectra of Mn/ZnTe at low manganese coverage (θ ≤ 1.5 Å) are clearly different from those of pure metallic manganese. This indicates that manganese atoms interact with ZnTe(1 1 0) crystal surface [9,10]. The structure of the photoemission spectra of Mn/ZnTe is similar to that of the spectra of Zn 1−x Mn x Te bulk alloys [11,12].…”

“…The Fermi edge corresponding to the metallic Mn island formation [9,10] can be observed (see Fig. 5) for Mn coverage θ = 2 Å.…”
