Electrical properties of unintentionally doped n-type and Al-doped p-type 3C-SiC layers, epitaxially grown on Si by chemical vapor deposition, have been investigated at temperatures between 10 1000 K. Activation energies Al acceptors residual donors obtained from the temperature dependence carrier density are 160 18 meV, respectively. 40%–60% in epilayers compensated, hole mobility is limited acoustic phonon scattering above 300 K ionized impurity below 250
A new method for chemical analysis of surfaces by total-reflection-angle X-ray spectroscopy in RHEED experiments (RHEED-TRAXS) has been developed. When the take-off angle is set to be critical total reflection characteristic emitted from deposited atoms on surfaces, detection efficiency deposit becomes drastically higher owing refraction effect X-ray. This enhancement surface sensitivity demonstrated with Ag Si(111). The smallest detectable amount about 0.01 monolayer or less. comparable...
Strong circular dichroism is found in 2-dimensional angular distribution patterns of the Si 2p photoelectrons from Si(001) surface, which has no chirality and magnetism. The forward focusing peaks pattern rotate clockwise or counterclockwise when helicity incident circularly polarized light reversed. These rotations are explained by rotational motion around nuclei. This first direct observation electrons clarifies correspondence between classical quantum mechanical ideas momentum.
A principle for stereoscopic photographs that enables viewing three-dimensional atomic arrangements is proposed. The azimuthal shifts of forward-focusing peaks in the photoelectron diffraction pattern obtained by left and right helicity lights a image when two images are, respectively, viewed eye simultaneously. By taking advantage this phenomenon, display-type spherical-mirror analyzer can obtain directly on screen without any computer-aided conversion process.

The spin states of ${\mathrm{Co}}^{3+}$ ions in perovskite-type ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$, governed by the complex interplay between electron-lattice interactions and strong electron correlations, still remain controversial due to lack experimental techniques which can directly detect them. In this Letter, we revealed tensile-strain dependence states, i.e., ratio high- low-spin epitaxial thin films a bulk crystal ${\mathrm{LaCoO}}_{3}$ via resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering. A tensile...

Current methods for reconstructing three-dimensional atomic arrangements from photoelectron holograms require data sets recorded using multiple incident photon energies. These techniques are thus difficult to apply Auger-electron holography, since the kinetic energy of Auger electron is element specific and independent excitation energy. We propose a scattering pattern extraction algorithm maximum-entropy method arrangement single-energy hologram. The provides clear image by taking into...
The most widely used methods for reconstructing three-dimensional atomic arrangements from a photoelectron hologram and an x-ray fluorescence are based on integral kernel, example, the Fourier transformation. These require many holograms that recorded using multiple energies since transformation requires infinite interval. Therefore, it is difficult to reconstruct arrangement single-energy hologram. In order accomplish hologram, we have proposed scattering pattern extraction algorithm...
Time-resolved soft X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) experiments were performed with time scales from picoseconds to nanoseconds trace relaxation of surface photovoltage on the ZnO(0001) single crystal in real time. The band diagram has been obtained numerically using PES data, showing a depletion layer which extends 1 μm. Temporal evolution effect is well explained by recombination process thermionic model, giving photoexcited carrier lifetime about ps at under flat condition. This...
We study the electronic structure of bulk single crystals and epitaxial films ${\mathrm{Fe}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}$. Fe $2p$ core level spectra show clear differences between hard x-ray (HAX) soft photoemission spectroscopy (PES). The bulk-sensitive exhibit temperature ($T$) dependence across Verwey transition, which is missing in surface-sensitive spectra. By using an extended impurity Anderson full-multiplet model---and contrast to earlier peak assignment---we that two distinct species ($A$...
