Conventional and Acoustic Surface Plasmons on Noble Metal Surfaces: A Time-dependent Density Functional Theory Study

Jun Yan, Karsten W. Jacobsen, Kristian S. Thygesen

First-principles calculations of the conventional and acoustic surface plasmons (CSPs and ASPs) on the (111) surfaces of Cu, Ag, and Au are presented. The effect of interband…

Free-carrier relaxation and lattice heating in photoexcited bismuth thin films

Y. M. Sheu, Y. J. Chien, C. Uher +2

We report ultrafast surface pump and interface probe experiments on photoexcited carrier transport across single crystal bismuth films on sapphire. The film thickness is sufficient…

Intrinsic Ultrathin Topological Insulators Grown via MBE Characterized by in-situ Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

J. J. Lee, F. T. Schmitt, R. G. Moore +3

We demonstrate the capability of growing high quality ultrathin films of the topological insulators Bi2Se3 and Bi2Te3 using molecular beam epitaxy. Unlike previous growth technique…
