Naturforsch. 43b, 513-516 (1988); received September 17, 1987 ESCA Studies, N.N'-Thiobisamines, Diaminosulfanes, Chromiumpentacarbonyl Complexes The X-ray photoelectron spectra of some N,N'-thiobisamines and of two of its complexes with Cr...

We have investigated the magnetic electronic structures of PtMnSb, NiMnSb, Ni2MnSb,MnSb, MnAlGe, and Mn2Sb by soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy ~XAS! and magnetic circular dichroism ~MCD! measurements in the Mn 2p core absorption region. Different degrees of the electron itinerancy of the Mn 3d states are discussed. The large orbital angular momentum of the Mn 3d electrons is revealed for MnSb...

Zinc oxide thin films have been obtained on bare and GaN buffer layer decorated Si (111) substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD), respectively. GaN buffer layer was achieved by a two-step method. The structure, surface morphology, composition, and optical properties of these thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, infrared absorption s...

The infrared spectra of xPbO (1−x−z)SiO2zP2O5 glasses with a PbO:SiO2 molar ratio of 3:2 and z=0,1,2,5,30,40 and 50 mol% have been examined in the region 4000-400 cm, together with XRD. The structure of PbO-SiO2 binary glass is significantly different from that of P2O5 substituted glasses. The low amount of P2O5 containing PbO-SiO2 glasses results in infrared spectra of the same pattern as 3:2 ...

This work focusses on the production and decay properties of inner-shell vacancies and valence-band excitations induced by swift highly charged ions interacting with amorphous and crystalline Si. High resolution electron spectra have been taken for fast heavy ions at 1.78 to 5 MeV/u as well as for electrons of similar velocity incident on atomically clean Si targets of well defined phase. Vario...

Free exciton (FX) and bound exciton (BX) in Al0.5Ga0.5N/Al0.35Ga0.65N multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with different Si-doping levels in the well layers are investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Low temperature (10 K) PL spectra identify a large binding energy of 87.4 meV for the BX in undoped sample, and 63.6 meV for the BX in Si-doped (2 × 10(18 ) cm(-3)) sample. They are attributed t...

We report direct measurements of changes in the conduction-band structure of ultrathin silicon nanomembranes with quantum confinement. Confinement lifts the 6-fold-degeneracy of the bulk-silicon conduction-band minimum (CBM), Delta, and two inequivalent sub-band ladders, Delta(2) and Delta(4), form. We show that even very small surface roughness smears the nominally steplike features in the den...

We demonstrate a hybrid device architecture where the charge states in a double quantum dot (DQD) formed in a Si/SiGe heterostructure are read out using an on-chip superconducting microwave cavity. A quality factor Q1⁄4 5400 is achieved by selectively etching away regions of the quantum well and by reducing photon losses through low-pass filtering of the gate bias lines. Homodyne measurements o...

Au on Si(111) in the 1 x 1 structure for different coverages and in the ~/3 x ~/3R30 °, and the 5 x 1 reconstructions has been studied by means of spin-, angle-, and energy-resolved photoemission. The photoemission studies were performed at normal incidence of the circularly polarized light and normal electron emission. In addition to Auand Si-derived peaks other highly spin-polarized peaks are...
