The paramagnetic Mn is assigned to interstitials with surface segregation tendency. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

A variety of experimental techniques has been involved such as scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), low-energy electron diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES). Distance-dependent STM measurements show a nontrivial geometrical behavior in the topography data, demonstrating five different patterns representing the superstructure at different values of the tip-surface separation. Atomic resolution was achieved at lower tunneling gap resistance. An unexpected spatial asymmetry in the distribution of the local density of states across the surface unit cell has been observed as well. Photoelectron spectroscopy of C1s and W4f core levels clarifies the nature of the chemical bonding in the system. The band mapping with ARPES provides information on the wave- vector dependence of the electronic states. Notable quantum size and superlattice effects were discovered in the dispersion of the valence-band states. The experimental data suggests an apparent one-dimensional character of the electronic structure. Lateral quantization and umklapp scattering are proposed as explanation. Finally, based on photoemission and STM measurements, an improved crystallographic model of the tungsten surface carbide is introduced Y1 - 2005 SN - 1098-0121 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Varykhalov, Andrei A1 - Shikin, A.

A1 - Rader, Oliver T1 - Probing the ground state electronic structure of a correlated electron system by quantum well states: Ag/ Ni(111) N2 - The ground state electronic properties of the strongly correlated transition metal Ni are usually not accessible from the excitation spectra measured in photoelectron spectroscopy. We show that the bottom of the Ni d band along [111] can be probed through the energy dependence of the phase of quantum-well states in Ag/Ni(111). Our model description of the quantum-well energies measured by angle-resolved photoemission determines the bottom of the Lambda(1) d band of Ni as 2.6 eV, in full agreement with standard local density theory and at variance with the values of 1.7-1.8 eV from direct angle-resolved photoemission experiments of Ni Y1 - 2005 SN - 0031-9007 ER -
