Coupled pb chains on si(557): origin of one-dimensional conductance.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Pb/Si(557) system exhibits a strong anisotropy in conductance below 78 K, with the evolution of a characteristic chain structure. Here we show, using angle-resolved photoemission, that chain ordering results in complete Fermi-like nesting in the direction normal to the chains; in addition, the domain structure along the chains forms split-off valence bands with mesoscopic Fermi wavelengths which induce the 1D conductance without further instabilities at low temperatures.

Electronic transport in Si and Au monoatomic chains considering strongly correlation effect, a first principle study
We have investigated structure and electronic properties of Au and Si liner chains using the firstprinciplesplane wave pseudopotential method. The transport properties and conductance of these twoliner chains are studied using Landauer approaches based on density functional theory (DFT). Weobtain density of states and band gap using Kohn-Sham and Wannier functions as well as quantumconductivity...
متن کاملElectronic structure of atomic chains on vicinal Si „ 111 ... - Au
Unusual electronic states are found for gold-induced chain and ladder structures on vicinal Si~111! surfaces, such as Si(111)532-Au and Si~557!-Au. As two-dimensional reference the Si(111)A33A3-Au surface is investigated. The highly stepped Si~557!-Au surface is metallic, despite an even electron count. That is explained by two half-filled, nearly degenerate bands. On the Si(111)532-Au surface ...
متن کاملOFFPRINT New evidence for the influence of step morphology on the formation of Au atomic chains on vicinal Si(111) surfaces
Gold atomic chain structures that grow on singular and vicinal Si(111) surfaces have attracted considerable interest as model systems for exploring quasi–one-dimensional metallic behaviour. The structure of the prototypical Si(111)-5× 2-Au system remains controversial, however. Reflection anisotropy spectroscopy provides new, independent evidence supporting a recently proposed three-Au-chain st...
متن کاملElectron Transport through the Two-dimensional Atomic Lattice
The electrical conductivity changes of the Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface at early stage of Pb deposition was studied experimentally and theoretically as a function of coverage. Pb deposition onto a Si(111)-(6x6)Au surface induce strong change of the conductance even at a low coverage (< 1 monolayer). The experimental results are analyzed using the theoretical model of two dimensional (2D) square atom...
متن کاملBand splitting for Si(557)-Au: is it spin-charge separation?
It has been proposed that the Si(557)-Au surface exhibits spin-charge separation in a one-dimensional electron liquid. Two narrowly spaced bands are found which exhibit a well-defined splitting at the Fermi level. That is incompatible with the assignment to a spinon-holon pair in a Luttinger liquid. Instead, we propose that the two bands are associated with two nearly degenerate atomic chains, ...
