Multilayers of fullerenes with and without endohedral Ar units, C60 and Ar@C60, were investigated by photoemission and density functional theory. The stoichiometry and the endohedral nature of Ar is checked by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron diffraction. Valence band ultraviolet photoemission spectra show a strong hybridisation of the Ar 3p valence shell with the 6T1u molecular orbital of C60. A hybridisation gap of 1.6 +/- 0.2 eV is found. This is in agreement with density functional theory (DFT) that predicts 1.47 eV, and indicates Ar@C60 to be a noble gas compound with a strong coupling between Ar and the C60 cage. No giant Ar photoemission cross section as predicted for the gas phase in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 243003 (2007)] was found.

We study the electron-phonon coupling in the C60 fullerene within the first-principles GW approach, focusing on the lowest unoccupied t1u three-fold electronic state which is relevant for the superconducting transition in electron doped fullerides. I
t is shown that the strength of the coupling is significantly enhanced as compared to standard density functional theory calculations with (semi)local functionals, with a 48% increase of the electron-phonon potential Vep. The calculated GW value for the contribution from the Hg modes of 93 meV comes within 4% of the most recent experimental values. The present results call for a reinvestigation of previous density functional based calculations of electron-phonon coupling in covalent systems in general.
Within the Ginzburg-Landau model we study the critical field and temperature enhancement for crossing superconducting channels formed either along the sample edges or domain walls in thin-film magnetically coupled superconducting - ferromagnetic bila
yers. The corresponding Cooper pair wave function can be viewed as a hybridization of two order parameter (OP) modes propagating along the boundaries and/or domain walls. Different momenta of hybridized OP modes result in the formation of vortex chains outgoing from the crossing point of these channels. Near this crossing point the wave functions of the modes merge giving rise to the increase in the critical temperature for a localized superconducting state. The origin of this critical temperature enhancement caused by the wave function squeezing is illustrated for a limiting case of approaching parallel boundaries and/or domain walls. Using both the variational method and numerical simulations we have studied the critical temperature dependence and OP structure vs the applied magnetic field and the angle between the crossing channels.
A mismatch of atomic registries between single-layer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in a two dimensional van der Waals heterostructure produces a moire superlattice with a periodic potential, which can be fine-tuned by introducing a twist an
gle between the materials. This approach is promising both for controlling the interactions between the TMDs and for engineering their electronic band structures, yet direct observation of the changes to the electronic structure introduced with varying twist angle has so far been missing. Here, we probe heterobilayers comprised of single-layer MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$ with twist angles of $(2.0 pm 0.5)^{circ}$, $(13.0 pm 0.5)^{circ}$, and $(20.0 pm 0.5)^{circ}$ and investigate the differences in their electronic band structure using micro-focused angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find strong interlayer hybridization between MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$ electronic states at the $bar{mathrm{Gamma}}$-point of the Brillouin zone, leading to a transition from a direct bandgap in the single-layer to an indirect gap in the heterostructure. Replicas of the hybridized states are observed at the centre of twist angle-dependent moire mini Brillouin zones. We confirm that these replica features arise from the inherent moire potential by comparing our experimental observations with density functional theory calculations of the superlattice dispersion. Our direct visualization of these features underscores the potential of using twisted heterobilayer semiconductors to engineer hybrid electronic states and superlattices that alter the electronic and optical properties of 2D heterostructures.
We have investigated the electronic structure of graphene supported on Re(0001) before and after the intercalation of one monolayer of Ag by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements and density functional theory calculations. T
he intercalation of Ag reduces the graphene-Re interaction and modifies the electronic band structure of graphene. Although the linear dispersion of the {pi} state of graphene in proximity of the Fermi level highlights a rather weak graphene-noble metal layer interaction, we still observe a significant hybridization between the Ag bands and the {pi} state in lower energy regions. These results demonstrate that covering a surface with a noble metal layer does decouple the electronic states, but still leads to a noticeable change in the electronic structure of graphene.
We report the experimental observation of strong electrical magneto-chiral anistropy (eMChA) in trigonal tellurium (t-Te) crystals. We introduce the tensorial character of the effect and determine several tensor elements and we propose a novel intrin
sic bandstructure-based mechanism for eMChA which gives a reasonable description of the principal results.
