Photoelectron spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation employing high energy and angular resolutions is a very efficient tool
for experimental investigations of the electronic structure of solids and their surfaces. In addition to standard band-mapping
applications, photoemission intensity and line-shape analyses provide valuable information about wave functions, bonds and
interactions of a many-electron system. In this report we choose covalent semiconductor surfaces as well as metallic clean
and nanostructured surfaces of layered materials to serve as model systems for assessing the spatial origin of photoelectrons
and the three-dimensional shape of Fermi surfaces.

We produced free beams of cold nanometer-sized particles of lithium, sodium and potassium and measured the three corresponding
photo-ionization yield curves. Quadratic (Fowler) plots, originally developed for bulk surfaces, were found to provide a good
fit to the threshold shape and were used to obtain the particle ionization potentials. The latter match precisely the bulk
work functions cited in the literature, suggesting that photo-ionization of free nanoclusters may form a useful complement
to traditional photoelectron studies of surfaces. Within 0.25–1 eV above the threshold, the ionization efficiency begins to
drop. This effect, which has parallels in bulk-surface and small-cluster photoemission, is presently not well understood but
may be related to an interplay between electron emission and collective surface plasma excitations.

Making use of the information depth of only a few layers for electrons with low kinetic energies, photoemission experiments,
with an additional measurement of the electron spin polarization or with excitation using circularly polarized radiation,
allow one to determine whether adatoms change the magnetic properties at the surface and whether they “feel” the magnetism
of the underlying substrate. This is investigated for oxygen adsorbed on Fe (110) and Co (0001). Enhanced surface sensitivity
can be gained in tunneling experiments. The technique of spin-polarized metastable de-excitation spectroscopy thus enables
one to determine the spin-resolved density of states in the near-surface region. By making the highly lateral resolving scanning
tunneling microscope sensitive to the electron spin polarization it becomes possible to image magnetic domains on the nanometer
scale; this is demonstrated for Gd (0001) surfaces.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) in air is used to study the (110) cleaved surface of strained (100) InxGa1-xAs/ InP heterostructures for different compositions and thicknesses of the ternary compound layers. We find that the elastic
strain relaxation induces a surface undulation of a few ? amplitude, even for very small misfits, provided the layers are
thick enough. Using finite-element calculations of the strain relaxation near the cleaved edge, we reproduce quantitatively
the AFM observations for compressive- as well as for tensile-strained layers with an accuracy better than 0.1 nm. This demonstrates
the ability of AFM to quantify strain distributions by making use of surface profile measurements.

x surface of Si(111) wafers was studied as a function of annealing time at relatively low annealing temperatures (50 and 100 °C)
by application of scanning force microscopy. A fast increase in cluster diameter and height as a function of annealing time
was detected. After more than 3 h of annealing depletion zones and nucleation exclusion zones were observed.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a powerful technique for submicron investigation of surface properties. In this work
we use the capability of this technique to investigate dielectric films used to align ferroelectric liquid crystals (FLC).
In fact, the final performance of a surface stabilized FLC (SSFLC) flat panel display strongly depends on the alignment layer
properties and quality. This work focuses on a comparison of two alignment films: the more conventional polyamide, nylon 6,
and polytetrafluoroethilene (PTFE, commercially known as Teflon), only recently used as a new aligning material.
A micromorphological characterization of the sample surfaces has been carried out in order to correlate structure with alignment
properties of both polymer films. The results show varying roughness and periodicity wavelengths for the two alignment layers.
These different properties can be related to different anchoring forces between aligning surfaces and FLC molecules and therefore
to a different electrooptical response of SSFLC cells. In addition to the topographic characterization, AFM non-conventional
measurements have been performed on alignment layers deposited on different transparent conductive oxides, such as indium
tin oxide (ITO) and SnO2, used to make electrodes in SSFLC displays. These measurements provide local information on the adhesive properties of the
studied alignment materials as a function of substrate coating. These observations indicate less adhesion of PTFE with respect
to nylon 6.

Silver colloids in aqueous solution were studied by different scanning microscopy techniques and UV/VIS spectroscopy. The
silver colloids were produced either by chemical reduction or by nanosecond laser ablation from a solid silver foil in water.
Variation of laser power and ablation time leads to solutions of metal clusters of different sizes in water. We characterized
the electronic absorption of the clusters by UV/VIS spectroscopy. STM (scanning tunneling microscope) imaging of the metal
colloids shows atomic resolution of rod- or tenon-like silver clusters up to 10-nm length formed by laser ablation. Our scanning
electron microscope measurements, however, show that much larger silver colloids up to 5-μm length are also formed, which
are not visible in the STM due to their roughness. We correlate them with the long-wavelength tail of the multimodal UV/VIS
spectrum. The silver colloids obtained by chemical reduction are generally larger and their electronic spectra are red-shifted
compared to the laser-ablated clusters. Irradiation of the colloid solution with nanosecond laser pulses of appropriate fluence
at 532 nm and 355 nm initially reduced the colloid size. Longer irradiation at 355 nm, however, leads to the formation of
larger colloids again. There seems to be a critical lower particle size, where silver clusters in aqueous solution become
unstable and start to coagulate.

The IR double-resonance techniques IR/R2PI (infrared/resonant 2-photon ionization), IR/PIRI (infrared-photo-induced Rydberg
ionization) and IR-photodissociation spectroscopy are valuable tools to investigate structure, vibrations, and dynamical processes
of neutral and ionic hydrogen-bonded clusters containing aromatic molecules. In this paper we report on the application of
the IR double-resonance techniques to determine the NH and OH stretching vibrations of 4-aminophenol and 4-aminophenol(H2O)1, both in the neutral (S0) and ionic (D0) ground state. All vibrational frequencies obtained for 4-aminophenol and the cluster are compared with the values obtained
from ab initio and DFT calculations. In the S0 state, a trans-linear arrangement of 4-aminophenol(H2O)1 is obtained containing an O-H·· O hydrogen bond. In the D0 state an overlay of two spectra can be observed resulting from the trans-linear structure and a second structure which contains
a N-H·· O hydrogen bond. The observation of these two structures within the ion is an interesting example of a rearrangement
reaction in the ionic state.

The fascination of research with nanometersized objects in contact with a macroscopic surface will be illustrated by two examples: mass-selected supported transition-metal clusters and C60 molecules on metallic single-crystal substrates. The preparation, mass-selection and deposition of the small particles will be described in some detail. The main experimental techniques involved in the characterization of their electronic and structural properties are photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning tunneling methods. For the transition-metal clusters the evolution of the valence band with cluster size reveals a trend to metal formation. When the tip of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) is placed above individual C60 molecules intense light emission is observed. The diameter of this emission spot is approximately 4 Å. This observation indicates the possibility of an optical spectroscopic analysis on the scale of individual molecules. 相似文献

Ultrathin metal films consisting of two-dimensional clusters are typically unstable: the cluster ensemble has the tendency
to reduce its total free energy via Ostwald ripening or dynamic coalescence of mobile clusters. In this paper we give an overview
of recent model experiments addressing these coarsening mechanisms. The experiments have been performed using STM on ensembles
consisting of adatom or vacancy clusters with typical diameters in the nanometer range on fcc(111)-metal surfaces. Agreement
with and deviations from conventional theories are discussed.

The STM can be used to investigate lifetimes of hot holes in a surface state at low temperatures. We analysed dI/dV data from Ag(111) using detailed tunnelling calculations and a simple model and found an electron self-energy of Σ=4.9±0.6 meV.
The corresponding lifetime τ= 67±8 fs is considerably higher than those determined by angle-resolved photoemission, although
it remains below theoretical predictions. Spatially resolved dI/dV spectra reveal that the lifetime decreases drastically
in proximity to defects such as surface steps.
