High energy resolution photoelectron spectroscopy of conduction electrons in the vicinity of the Fermi-edge in Al and Au at the excitation energy of 880 and 7940 eV was carried out using synchrotron radiation. For the excitation energy of 7940 eV, the observed Fermi energy of Al shows a remarkable shift to higher binding energy as compared with that of Au, with accompanying broadening. This is due to the recoil effect of the emitted photoelectrons. The observed spectra are well reproduced by a simple model of Bloch electrons based on the isotropic Debye model.

Low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy is used to study electronic structure and dynamics of d-like surface states of trivalent lanthanide metals from La to Lu. The magnetic exchange splitting of these states is found to scale with the 4f sp in multiplied by an effective exchange-coupling constant that increases with 4f occupancy in an approximately linear way. The dynamics of the surfaces states, as revealed by the lifetime width, is dominated by electron-phonon scattering in the occupied region and by electron-magnon scattering in the unoccupied region, respectively.
In the present paper, we propose a new way to classify centrosymmetric metals by studying the Zeeman effect caused by an external magnetic field described by the momentum dependent g-factor tensor on the Fermi surfaces. Nontrivial U(1) Berrys phase a nd curvature can be generated once the otherwise degenerate Fermi surfaces are splitted by the Zeeman effect, which will be determined by both the intrinsic band structure and the structure of g-factor tensor on the manifold of the Fermi surfaces. Such Zeeman effect generated Berrys phase and curvature can lead to three important experimental effects, modification of spin-zero effect, Zeeman effect induced Fermi surface Chern number and the in-plane anomalous Hall effect. By first principle calculations, we study all these effects on two typical material, ZrTe$_5$ and TaAs$_2$ and the results are in good agreement with the existing experiments.

This paper reviews experimental and theoretical works on the study of the Fermi surface of pure metals with the aid of high-frequency size effects. Particular attention is given to little-known new ballistic effects such as the time of flight effect, multichannel size effect, and nonlinear size effect. Keywords: Fermi surface of metals, radio-frequency size effect, multichannel surface scattering, pure metals.
The Nernst effect is the transverse electric field produced by a longitudinal thermal gradient in presence of magnetic field. In the beginning of this century, Nernst experiments on cuprates were analyzed assuming that: i) The contribution of quasi-p articles to the Nernst signal is negligible; and ii) Gaussian superconducting fluctuations cannot produce a Nernst signal well above the critical temperature. Both these assumptions were contradicted by subsequent experiments. This paper reviews experiments documenting multiple sources of a Nernst signal, which, according to the Brigman relation, measures the flow of transverse entropy caused by a longitudinal particle flow. Along the lines of Landauers approach to transport phenomena, the magnitude of the transverse magneto-thermoelectric response is linked to the quantum of thermoelectric conductance and a number of material-dependent length scales: the mean-free-path, the Fermi wavelength, the de Broglie thermal wavelength and the superconducting coherence length. Extremely mobile quasi-particles in dilute metals generate a widely-documented Nernst signal. Fluctuating Cooper pairs in the normal state of superconductors have been found to produce a detectable Nernst signal with an amplitude conform to the Gaussian theory, first conceived by Ussishkin, Sondhi and Huse. In addition to these microscopic sources, mobile Abrikosov vortices, mesoscopic objects carrying simultaneously entropy and magnetic flux, can produce a sizeable Nernst response. Finally, in metals subject to a magnetic field strong enough to truncate the Fermi surface to a few Landau tubes, each exiting tube generates a peak in the Nernst response. The survey of these well-established sources of the Nernst signal is a helpful guide to identify the origin of the Nernst signal in other controversial cases.
We report on the observation of the acoustic spin Hall effect that facilitates lattice motion induced spin current via spin orbit interaction (SOI). Under excitation of surface acoustic wave (SAW), we find a spin current flows orthogonal to the propa gation direction of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) in non-magnetic metals. The acoustic spin Hall effect manifests itself in a field-dependent acoustic voltage in non-magnetic metal (NM)/ferromagnetic metal (FM) bilayers. The acoustic voltage takes a maximum when the NM layer thickness is close to its spin diffusion length, vanishes for NM layers with weak SOI and increases linearly with the SAW frequency. To account for these results, we find the spin current must scale with the SOI and the time derivative of the lattice displacement. Such form of spin current can be derived from a Berry electric field associated with time varying Berry curvature and/or an unconventional spin-lattice interaction mediated by SOI. These results, which imply the strong coupling of electron spins with rotating lattices via the SOI, show the potential of lattice dynamics to supply spin current in strong spin orbit metals.
