The electronic structure and chemical bonding in reactively magnetron sputtered ZrHx (x=0.15, 0.30, 1.16) thin films with oxygen content as low as 0.2 at% are investigated by 4d valence band, shallow 4p core-level and 3d core-level X-ray…
Ta films with tetragonal crystalline structure (beta-phase), deposited by magnetron sputtering on different substrates (steel, silicon and silicon dioxide), have been studied. In all cases, very highly preferred (001) orientation was…
We propose a new layered-ternary Ta4SiC3 with two different stacking sequences ({\alpha}- and {\beta}-phases) of the metal atoms along c axis and study their structural stability. The mechanical, electronic and optical properties are then…
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we studied bulk and surface electronic band structures of narrow-gap semiconductor lead telluride (PbTe) thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy both perpendicular and parallel to…
The electronic structure of thin films of FeTe grown on Bi$_2$Te$_3$ is investigated using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and first principles calculations. As a comparison, data from cleaved bulk…
Here we use low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/STS) to reveal the roles of the narrow electronic band in two 1T-TaS$_2$-related materials (bulk 1T-TaS$_2$ and 4Hb-TaS$_2$). 4Hb-TaS$_2$ is a superconducting…
The electronic structure of $\beta$-Ti$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ has been studied based on the density functional theory within the local-density approximation. The calculation indicates that $\beta$-Ti$_{6}$Sn$_{5}$ is very close to ferromagnetic…
The valence band (VB) structure of an Al0.5TiZrPdCuNi high-entropy alloy (HEA) obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been compared to that recently calculated by Odbadrakh et al, 2019. Both experimental and theoretical VBs show…
The electronic structure of Sc1-xVxNy epitaxial films with different alloying concentrations of V are investigated with respect to effects on thermoelectric properties. Band structure calculations on Sc0.75V0.25N indicate that V 3d states…
Superconducting films of alpha-Ta are promising candidates for the fabrication of advanced superconducting qubits. However, alpha-Ta films suffer from many growth-induced structural inadequacies that negatively affect their performance. We…
Complex materials encompassing different phases of matter can display new photoinduced metastable states differing from those attainable under equilibrium conditions. These states can be realized when energy is injected in the material…
We have performed x-ray photoemission spectroscopy on the system of noncentrosymmetric superconductor, Li$_2$(Pd$_x$Pt$_{1-x}$3)B. For Li$_2$Pt$_3$B, we found 2 major peaks with 2 other weak components, and the band calculations were in…
Thin films of CdTe were deposited on glass substrates by thermal evaporation. From the XRD measurements itis found that the films are of zinc-blende-type structure. Transmittance, absorption, extinction, and refractive coefficients are…
Phase change alloys are used for non-volatile random access memories exploiting the conductivity contrast between amorphous and metastable, crystalline phase. However, this contrast has never been directly related to the electronic band…
We study an electronic structure of CeRhSb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$ system, which displays quantum critical transition from a Kondo insulator to a non-Fermi liquid at $x=0.13$. We provide ultraviolet photoelectron spectra of valence band obtained at…
