Partial nesting between two connected or disconnected regions of the Fermi surface leads to fractional powers of the Coulomb scattering lifetime as a function of temperature and frequency. This result is first demonstrated for a toy band…
Stabilization of the Si(553) surface by Au adsorption results in two different atomically defined chain types, one of Au atoms and one of Si. At low temperature these chains develop two- and threefold periodicity, respectively, previously…
Fermi surface nesting, as a peculiar reciprocal space feature, is not only closely correlated with the real space superstructure, but also directly modulates the underlying electronic behavior. In this work, we elucidate the Fermi surface…
