Electric field, uniform within the slab, emerging due to Fermi level pinning at its both sides is analyzed using DFT simulations of the SiC surface slabs of different thickness. It is shown that for thicker slab the field is nonuniform and…
We model the quantum confined Stark effect in AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructures grown on top of [0001]-oriented GaN nanowires. The pyro- and piezoelectric field are computed in a self-consistent approach, making no assumption about the pinning…
We have studied the Tamm-type surface state of La(0001) by tunneling spectroscopy within a wide range of tunneling currents from 0.1 nA to 8000 nA, thereby tuning the electric-field strength in a tip-vacuum-sample tunnel junction. We…
We report a quantitative low-temperature Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy (STS)study on the Ag(111) surface state over an unprecedented range of currents (50 pA to 6 $\mu$A)through which we can tune the electric field in the tunnel junction…
The structure of the electron quantum size levels in spherical nanocrystals is studied in the framework of an eight--band effective mass model at zero and weak magnetic fields. The effect of the nanocrystal surface is modeled through the…
We consider the details of the near-surface electronic band structure of a prototypical ferromagnet, Fe(001). Using high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we demonstrate openings of the spin-orbit induced electronic band…
Shockley surface states (SS) have attracted much attention due to their role in various physical phenomena occurring at surfaces. It is also clear from experiments that they can play an important role in electron transport. However,…
The Zeeman effect lowers the energy of electrons with spin states which are anti-parallel to the applied magnetic field but lifts that of spin parallel states. In quantum spin liquids where the spin and charge degrees of freedom are…
The effect of a magnetic field on the energy spectrum and on the wave functions of an electron in spherical nano-structures such as single quantum dot and spherical layer is investigated. It is shown that the magnetic field removes the…
The effect of an external applied electric field on the electronic ground state energy of a quantum box with a geometry defined by a wedge is studied by carrying out a variational calculation. This geometry could be used as an approximation…
The response of the Cu(111) Shockley surface state to an external electrical field is characterized by combining a density-functional theory calculation for a slab geometry with an analysis of the Kohn-Sham wavefunctions. Our analysis is…
A nearly-free-electron (NFE) model to describe STM spectroscopy of (111) metal surfaces with Kondo impurities is presented. Surface states are found to play an important role giving a larger contribution to the conductance in the case of…
Electron distributions produced by grazing impact of fast protons on Mg(0001), Cu(111), Ag(111) and Au(111) surfaces are investigated, focusing on the effects of the electronic band structure. The process is described within the…
Consequences of an exceedingly strong electric field (E field) on the ground state energetics and transport properties of a 2D spinless electron gas in a perpendicular magnetic field (a Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) configuration) are…
Theoretical investigations of surface-state electron dynamics in noble metals are reported. The dynamically screened interaction is computed, within many-body theory, by going beyond a free-electron description of the metal surface.…
We discuss an effect of the electrostatic field on superconductivity near the surface. First, we use the microscopic theory of de Gennes to show that the electric field changes the boundary condition for the Ginzburg-Landau function.…
In the long wavelength domain, typically for wavelengths lambda > 100 angstroms, the laser fields are usually taken as independent of the spatial coordinate. However, at the gas-solid interface the electron density of the material and the…
Scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) is used to study the dynamics of hot electrons trapped on a Cu(100) surface in field emission resonances (FER) above the vacuum level. Differential conductance maps show isotropic electron interference…
