Electronic structure and molecular orientation of a Zn-tetra-phenyl porphyrin multilayer on Si(111)
C. Castellarin Cudia, P. Vilmercati, R. Larciprete +13
The electronic properties and the molecular orientation of Zn-tetraphenyl-porphyrin films deposited on Si(111) have been investigated using synchrotron radiation. For the first tim…
The pseudomorphic to bulk fcc phase transition of thin Ni films on Pd(100)
G. A. Rizzi, A. Cossaro, M. Petukhov +6
We have measured the transformation of pseudomorphic Ni films on Pd(100) into their bulk fcc phase as a function of the film thickness. We made use of x-ray diffraction and x-ray i…
Surfactant-like Effect and Dissolution of Ultrathin Fe Films on Ag(001)
S. Terreni, A. Cossaro, G. Gonella +8
The phase immiscibility and the excellent matching between Ag(001) and Fe(001) unit cells (mismatch 0.8 %) make Fe/Ag growth attractive in the field of low dimensionality magnetic…
Quantum size effects in the low temperature layer-by-layer growth of Pb on Ge(001)
L. Floreano, D. Cvetko, F. Bruno +5
The electronic properties of thin metallic films deviate from the corresponding bulk ones when the film thickness is comparable with the wavelength of the electrons at the Fermi le…
