  • We first deduce a uniform formula forthe Fermi energy of degenerate and relativistic electrons in the weak-magnetic field approximation. Then we obtain an expression of the special solution for the electron Fermi energy through this formula, and express the electron Fermi energy as a function of electron fraction and matter density. Our method is universally suitable for relativistic electron- matter regions in neutron stars in the weak-magnetic field approximation.

  • Unexpectedly, the brightest row was known to represents the lowest lying Te atoms in the STM image of NbTe2. Projected density of states and crystal orbital overlap population show that the 5pz orbital of the lowest lying Te(2) atom doe s not interact with the 4d orbital of Nb strongly so that the 5pz band remains in the vicinity of the Fermi energy. Consequently the lowest lying Te(2) atoms contribute higher electron density near the Fermi energy which in turn exhibits brightest image in the STM experiments.

  • Electron-electron interactions bear important information on fundamental electronic properties such as electron effective mass, conductivity, and charge mobility. By using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, here we address unusual electron self-energy in graphene induced by the electron-electron interactions, which are distinguished from those of an ordinary Fermi liquid. Our findings provide a new route for two-dimensional electron systems toward device applications.

  • 최근 Angle Resolved Ultraviolet Photoemission Spectroscopy(ARUPS)를 통하여 Mo(011)과 W(011)의 surface Fermi contour에 관한 연구가 발표되었다. Hydrogen 흡착시 W(011)의 electron contour는 팽창하였다. 이것은 electron contour를 이루는 surface state가 hydrogen 흡착시 higher binding energy로 이동한 결과이다. Surface state의 higher binding energy로의 이동은 결국 band flattening으로 이해되며, 이 band flattening 에 S.E.Trullinger의 long range dipole dipole force와 Kohn anomaly 현상을 부합시켜 W(011) surface에 수소 흡착시 일어나는 reconstruction 현상에 대한 설명을 시도해 보았다.

  • In this work, the ground-state properties of an interacting electron gas confined in a two-dimensional quantum dot system with the Gaussian potential ${\upsilon}(r)=V_0(1-{\exp}(-r^2/p))$, where $V_0$ and p are confinement parameters, are determined numerically by using the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The shape of the potential is modified by changing the $V_0$ and the p values, and the influence of the confining potential on the system's properties, such as the chemical energy, the density profile, the kinetic energy, the confining energy, etc., is analyzed for both the non-interacting and the interacting cases. The results are compared with those calculated for a harmonic potential, and excellent agreement is obtained in the limit of high p values for both the non-interacting and the interacting cases.

  • Rotation-powered pulsars are excellent laboratories for studying particle acceleration as well as fundamental physics of strong gravity, strong magnetic fields and relativity. Particle acceleration and high-energy emission from the polar caps is expected to occur in connection with electron-positron pair cascades. I will review acceleration and gamma-ray emission from the pulsar polar cap and associated slot gap. Predictions of these models can be tested with the data set on pulsars collected by the Large Area Telescope on the Fermi Gamma-Ray Telescope over the last four years, using both detailed light curve fitting, population synthesis and phase-resolved spectroscopy.

  • In this paper, the interaction of electron and phonon in metals is expressed using Hamiltonian operator as follows. By excahnging phonon energy with in the vicinity of isotropical Fermi surface and using following electron and hole operators. We obtain the interaction of electron and phonon. And new Feynman Graphs are tried with the following conditions on. First, when state transfer state, phonon cannot be created. Second, when state transfer state, phonon cannot be destroyed. Third, when state transfer state, phonon can be created or destroyed. Fourth, when state transfer state, phonon can be created or destroyed.

  • In the glass/TCO/p-i-n a-Si/Al type of amorphous silicon solar cell, the effects on solar cell efficiency and metastability for the various kinds of TCO analyzed by SAM and ESCA, which was used to measure the diffusion profiles of In and Sn and the Fermi energy shifts in the TCO/p interface respectively. Indium which diffused into a-Si p-layer did not have any significant effects on the Fermi level shift of p-layer when the content of $B_2H_6/SiH_4$ in p-layer was at 1 gas%. The cell fabricated on $SnO_2$ turned out to have the best cell photovoltaic characteristics. ITO fabricated by electron beam deposition system, which was shown to have the greatest rate of diffusion of Indium in ITO/p interface produced the worst metastability among the cells tested.

  • We have determined the electronic energy level alignment at the interface between 4,4'-bis-N-phenyl-1-naphthylamino biphenyl (NPB) and 1,4,5,8,9,11-hexaazatriphenylenehexacarbonitrile (HAT-CN) using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of 20 nm thick HAT-CN film was located at 3.8 eV below the Fermi level. Thus the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) is very close to the Fermi level. The HOMO position of NPB was only about 0.3 eV below Fermi level at NPB/HAT-CN interface. This enables an easy excitation of electrons from the NPB HOMO to the HAT-CN LUMO, creating electron-hole pairs across this organic-organic interface. We also study the interaction of HAT-CN with a few metallic surfaces including Ca, Cu, and ITO using UPS and ab-inito electronic structure calculation techniques.

  • Recently, the surface electronic states have attracted much attention since their standing wave patterns created around steps, defects, and adsorbates on noble metal surfaces such as Au(111), Ag(110), and Cu(111) were observed by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). As a typical example, a striking circular pattern of "Quantum corral" observed by Crommie, Lutz, and Eigler, covers a number of text books of quantum mechanics, demonstrating a wavy nature of electrons. After the discoveries, similar standing waves patterns have been observed on other metal and demiconductor surfaces and even on a side polane of nano-tubes. With an expectation that the surface states could be utilized as one of ideal cases for studying two dimensionakl (sD) electronic system, various properties, such as mean free path / life time of the electronic states, have been characterized based on an analysis of standing wave patterns, . for the 2D electron system, electron density is one of the most importnat parameters which determines the properties on it. One advantage of conventional 2D electron system, such as the ones realized at AlGaAs/GaAs and SiO2/Si interfaces, is their controllability of the electrondensity. It can be changed and controlled by a factor of orders through an application of voltage on the gate electrode. On the other hand, changing the leectron density of the surface-state 2D electron system is not simple. On ewqy to change the electron density of the surface-state 2D electron system is not simple. One way to change the electron density is to deposit other elements on the system. it has been known that Pd(111) surface has unoccupied surface states whose energy level is just above Fermi level. Recently, we found that by depositing Pd on Cu(111) surface, occupied surface states of Cu(111) is lifted up, crossing at Fermi level around 2ML, and approaches to the intrinsic Pd surface states with a increase in thickness. Electron density occupied in the states is thus gradually reduced by Pd deposition. Park et al. also observed a change in Fermi wave number of the surface states of Cu(111) by deposition of Xe layer on it, which suggests another possible way of changing electron density. In this talk, after a brief review of recent progress in a study of standing weaves by STM, I will discuss about how the electron density can be changed and controlled and feasibility of using the surface states for a study of 2D electron system. One of the most important advantage of the surface-state 2D electron system is that one can directly and easily access to the system with a high spatial resolution by STM/AFM.y STM/AFM.
