Abstract

In this thesis the results of high-resolution angle-resolved ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (HRARUPS) and scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) investigations of the valence band electronic structure of ultra thin silver layers on a vanadium (100) substrate are presented. The s-p and d-symmetry quantum well states have been characterised in great detail. For 1-8 monolayers (ML) Ag s-p states we found the effects of hybridisation with the substrate and the enhancement and variation of the... More hole-phonon coupling strength with film thickness. The D-band states were found to be perfectly confined within the film presenting an ideal example of a two-dimensional system. The surface fermi contour was determined for 1-5 ml ag from STM measurements and correlated to the electronic structure of the system. Less

U ovoj disertaciji prikazani su rezultati istraživanja valentne elektronske strukture ultra tankih slojeva srebra na vanadijevoj (100) površini metodama kutno razlučive fotoelektronske spektroskopije visoke energetske i kutne razlučivosti (HRARUPS) i skenirajuće-tunelirajuće mikroskopije (STM). Stanja kvantnih jama (QWS) s-p i d-simetrije detaljno su karakterizirana. Za s-p stanja u srebrnom sloju debljine 1-8 atomskih slojeva (ML) pronašli smo efekte hibridizacije sa podlogom, te pojačanje i... More varijaciju elektronfonon vezanja ovisno o debljini filma. Za D-stanja nalazimo da su savršeno kvantizirana unutar srebrnog sloja što ih čini idealnim primjerom dvodimenzionalnog elektronskog sistema. Površinska fermijeva ploha određena je za 1-5 ml srebra na temelju STM mjerenja i korelirana je s elektronskom strukturom sistema. Less
