Hole subband structure under strong band bending such a Pb on Si(111) and Indium on Si(111) have been investigated by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy(ARPES). Energy levels of hole subband structure which indicate the quantized levels in inversion layer are strongly depend on band bend shape which can be controlled by the impurity concentration of substrate. Meanwhile, the discrepancy for the suband energy separation between experimental results and calculation results is also observed. In this study, we aim to clarify the relationship between flash annealing and impurity concentration and the hole subband. From this results, it was found out that high temperature flash annealing at 1250 degree has considerable effect on the impurity concentration at subsurface region by Secondary Ion Mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and our diffusion model. This effect makes the band bend shape and subband energy separation change. Moreover, It was revealed that the reduction of the impurity distribution was inhibited less than 900 degree of the flashing temperature.

The effect of outdiffusion of Mn interstitials from (Ga,Mn)As epitaxial layers, caused by post-growth low-temperature annealing, on their electronic- and band-structure properties has been investigated by modulation photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy . The annealing-induced changes in structural and magnetic properties of the layers were examined with high-resolution X-ray diffractometry and SQUID magnetometery, respectively. They confirmed an outdiffusion of Mn interstitials from the layers and an enhancement in their hole concentration, which were more efficient for the layer covered with a Sb cap acting as a sink for diffusing Mn interstitials. The PR results revealing a decrease in the band-gap-transition energy in the as-grown (Ga,Mn)As layers, with respect to that in the reference GaAs one, are interpreted by assuming a merging of the Mn-related impurity band with the host GaAs valence band. On the other hand, an increase in the band-gap-transition energy in the annealed (Ga,Mn)As layers is interpreted as a result of the Moss-Burstein shift of the absorption edge due to the Fermi level location within the valence band, determined by the enhanced free-hole concentration. The experimental results are consistent with the valence-band origin of mobile holes mediating ferromagnetic ordering in (Ga,Mn)As, in agreement with the Zener model for ferromagnetic semiconductors.

We have performed a first-principles study on the deformation effect of the electronic structures of graphite nanoribbon arrays with zigzag edges on both sides, and the edge atoms are terminated with hydrogen atoms. A uniaxial strain is considered to have deformation effect on the graphite nanoribbons. We found that the antiferromagnetic arrangement of the spin polarizing edges of graphite nanoribbon is still more favorable than that with the ferromagnetic arrangement under deformation. We also learned that a tensile strain increases the magnetization of the graphite ribbon while a compressive strain decreases it. A positive pressure derivative of the band gap of antiferromagnetic state is observed for the graphite nanoribbon under uniaxial strains. The strain changes the shape of band structure and the band gap; in here, the edge atoms play a crucial role. The deformations are also found to influence the contribution of the edge atoms to the bands near the Fermi level. The deformation effect for the graphite nanoribbon under transverse electric field is also studied.
The electronic structure of BaFe2As2 doped with Co, Ni, and Cu has been studied by a variety of experimental and theoretical methods, but a clear picture of the dopant 3d states has not yet emerged. Herein we provide experimental evidence of the dist ribution of Co, Ni, and Cu 3d states in the valence band. We conclude that the Co and Ni 3d states provide additional free carriers to the Fermi level, while the Cu 3d states are found at the bottom of the valence band in a localized 3d10 shell. These findings help shed light on why superconductivity can occur in BaFe2As2 doped with Co and Ni but not Cu.
When a crystal becomes thinner and thinner to the atomic level, peculiar phenomena discretely depending on its layer-numbers (n) start to appear. The symmetry and wave functions strongly reflect the layer-numbers and stacking order, which brings us a potential of realizing new properties and functions that are unexpected in either bulk or simple monolayer. Multilayer WTe2 is one such example exhibiting unique ferroelectricity and non-linear transport properties related to the antiphase stacking and Berry-curvature dipole. Here we investigate the electronic band dispersions of multilayer WTe2 (2-5 layers), by performing laser-based micro-focused angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy on exfoliated-flakes that are strictly sorted by n and encapsulated by graphene. We clearly observed the insulator-semimetal transition occurring between 2- and 3-layers, as well as the 30-70 meV spin-splitting of valence bands manifesting in even n as a signature of stronger structural asymmetry. Our result fully demonstrates the possibility of the large energy-scale band and spin manipulation through the finite n stacking procedure.
The Weyl semimetal NbP exhibits a very small Fermi surface consisting of two electron and two hole pockets, whose fourfold degeneracy in $k$ space is tied to the rotational symmetry of the underlying tetragonal crystal lattice. By applying uniaxial s tress, the crystal symmetry can be reduced, which successively leads to a degeneracy lifting of the Fermi-surface pockets. This is reflected by a splitting of the Shubnikov-de Haas frequencies when the magnetic field is aligned along the $c$ axis of the tetragonal lattice. In this study, we present the measurement of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations of single-crystalline NbP samples under uniaxial tension, combined with state-of-the-art calculations of the electronic band structure. Our results show qualitative agreement between calculated and experimentally determined Shubnikov-de Haas frequencies, demonstrating the robustness of the band-structure calculations upon introducing strain. Furthermore, we predict a significant shift of the Weyl points with increasing uniaxial tension, allowing for an effective tuning to the Fermi level at only 0.8% of strain along the $a$ axis.
