Here we report the evolution of bulk band structure and surface states in rare earth mono-bismuthides with partially filled f shell. Utilizing synchrotron-based photoemission spectroscopy, we determined the three-dimensional bulk band structure and identified the bulk band

We demonstrate that a theoretical framework fully incorporating intra-atomic correlations and multiplet structure of the localized 4f states is required in order to capture the essential physics of rare-earth semiconductors and semimetals. We focus i
n particular on the rare-earth semimetal erbium arsenide (ErAs), for which effective one-electron approaches fail to provide a consistent picture of both high and low-energy electronic states. We treat the many-body states of the Er 4f shell within an atomic approximation in the framework of dynamical mean-field theory. Our results for the magnetic-field dependence of the 4f local moment, the influence of multiplets on the photoemission spectrum, and the exchange splitting of the Fermi surface pockets as measured from Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, are found to be in good agreement with experimental results.
Simultaneous occurrence of the Mott and band gap in correlated semiconductors results in a complex optical response with the nature of the absorption edge difficult to resolve both experimentally and theoretically. Here, we combine a dynamical mean-f
ield theory approach to localized 4f shells with an improved description of band gaps by a semi-local exchange-correlation potential to calculate the optical properties of the light rare-earth fluorosulfides LnSF (Ln=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) from first principles. In agreement with experiment, we find the absorption edge in SmSF to stem from S-3p to Sm-4f transitions, while the Gd compound behaves as an ordinary p-d gap semiconductor. In the unexplored PrSF and NdSF systems we predict a rather unique occurrence of strongly hybridized 4f-5d states at the bottom of the conduction band. The nature of the absorption edge underlies a peculiar anisotropy of the optical conductivity in each system.
We present and discuss an original method to synthesize disordered Nanostructured (NS) VO$_x$ films with controlled stoichiometry and tunable electronic structures. In these NS films, the original lattice symmetry of the bulk vanadium oxides is broke
n and atoms are arranged in a highly disordered structure . The stoichiometry-dependent disorder as a function of the oxygen concentration has been characterized by in-situ X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Structure (XANES) spectroscopy identifying the spectroscopic fingerprints. Results show structural rearrangements that deviate from the octahedral symmetry with different coexisting disordered phases. The modulation of the electronic structure of the NS films based on the resulted stoichiometry and the quantum confinement in the NS particles are also discussed. We demonstrate the possibility to modulate the electronic structure of VO$_x$ NS films accessing new disordered atomic configurations with a controlled stoichiometry that provides an extraordinary opportunity to match a wide number of technological applications.
We report the effects of variation in length on the electronic structure of CdSe nanorods derived from atomic clusters and passivated by fictitious hydrogen atoms. These nanorods are augmented by attaching gold clusters at both the ends to form a nan
odumbbell. The goal is to assess the changes at nanolevel after formation of contacts with gold clusters serving as electrodes and compare the results with experimental observations [PRL, 95, 056805 (2005)]. Calculations involving nanorods of length 4.6 Angstrom to 116.6 Angstrom are performed using density functional theory implemented within plane-wave basis set. The binding energy per atom saturates for nanorod of length 116.6 Angstrom. It is interesting to note that upon attaching gold clusters, the nanorods shorter than 27 Angstrom develop metallicity by means of metal induced gap states (MIGS). Longer nanorods exhibit a nanoscale Schottky barrier emerging at the center. For these nanorods, interfacial region closest to the gold electrodes shows a finite density of states in the gap due to MIGS, which gradually decreases towards the center of the nanorod opening up a finite gap. Bader charge analysis indicates localized charge transfer from metal to semiconductor.
We have demonstrated electron-electron and electron-nuclear spin manipulations of Gd3+ ion in CaWO4 crystal. The results suggest that the studied system is perspective for multiqubit implementation in quantum computing.
