Electron-electron interactions bear important information on fundamental electronic properties such as electron effective mass, conductivity, and charge mobility. By using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, here we address unusual electron self-energy in graphene induced by the electron-electron interactions, which are distinguished from those of an ordinary Fermi liquid. Our findings provide a new route for two-dimensional electron systems toward device applications.

With angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), the surface electronic band structures of Pt3Co (111) and Pt3Ni (111) single crystals are investigated, which allow to study the bonding interaction between chemically absorbed atomic oxygen and its surfaces. The d-band electrons of subsurface TM are separated from the direct chemical bonding with atomic oxygen. That is, the TM does not contribute to direct chemical bonding with oxygen. From the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is identified that the main origin of improved oxygen absorption property, i.e. softening of Pt-O bonding, is due to the suppression of Pt surface-states which is generated from change of interlayer potential, i.e. charge polarization, between Pt-top and TM-subsurface. Our results point out the critical roles of subsurface TM in modifying surface electronic structures, which in turn can be utilized to tune surface chemical properties.

We have investigated atomic and electronic structures of a clean Pd(111) surface using low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). A typical clean LEED pattern with a 3-fold symmetry has been observed, corresponding to that for an fcc (111) surface. ARPES measurements have been performed along the $\Gamma-M,\Gamma-K,\Gamma-M$TEX> symmetry lines, from which the experimental band structure of Pd(111) has been determined. The experimental band structure and work function of Pd(111) surface are found to agree well with the calculated band structure of bulk Pd and the calculated work function of Pd(111), respectively. However, the peak positions in the experimental band structure are located closer to the Fermi level than in the theoretical band structure by 0.1~0.8 eV, depending on the $\kappa$-points in the Brillouin zone. In additin, the experimental band widths are narrower than the theoretical band widths by about 0.5eV. The effects of the localized surface Pd 4d states and the Coulomb interaction between Pd 4d bulk electrons have been discussed as possible origins of such discrepancies between experiment and theory.

현대 과학기술에는 표면/계면 및 나노물질의 구조와 물성을 분석하는 다양한 방법들이 존재한다. 이들 분석장비들의 분해능과 감도의 향상으로 이전에는 보지 못한 물성들이 속속 발견되고 있다. 이러한 흐름 속에서 분석장비들의 다기능 시대가 열리고 있다. 예전에는 성분, 형태, 구조, 전자구조 등을 분석하기 위해 각각에 해당하는 분석장비들이 동원되었다. 하지만 21세기에 접어들어 분석장비들이 두 종류 이상의 분석이 가능하도록 개발되었다. 예를 들면, TEM으로 형태를 보는 것 외에도 TED와 EELS로 구조와 성분을 동시에 확인할 수 있게 되었다. 전통적인 성분 및 전자구조 분석법의 하나인 광전자분광법도 microscopy 기능을 탑재하는 변신이 있었다. 본 발표에서는 빛과 전자를 시료에 조사하여 물질의 성분, 형태, 구조, 전자구조 등을 동시에 분석이 가능한 분석법들에 대해 소개하고자 한다. 그 중, SPEM(Scanning Photoelectron Emission Microscopy)은 포항가속기연구소에 설치되어 있으며, PEEM(Photoelectron Microscopy)과 LEEM(Low Energy Electron Microscopy)은 수차보정장치를 갖춘 사양으로 최근 한국기초과학지원연구원에 설치되었다. 위에 언급한 장비를 활용하여 얻은 데이터를 바탕으로 나노물질의 표면 및 계면의 특성을 분석하는 방법 및 최근 연구 결과를 소개하고자 한다.

방사광이 고체물리의 연구에 이용되기 시작한 60년대 말 이후부터 지난 반세기동안 방사광시설과 이를 이용한 분석 장치들은 큰 발전이 거듭되어 왔다. 90년대에는 포항가속기 연구소에서 방사광을 이용한 실험 시설이 완공되어 지난 20 여년간 이용되어 왔고 현재는 이시설이 업그레이드(PLS II) 되어 조만간 다시 이용자에게 공개될 예정이다. 연 x-선의 경우 광전자를 분석하게 되면 시료의 표면으로부터 1 nm - 수십 nm 두께의 현상에 대한 분석이 가능하다. 경 x-선(수 keV 이상의 에너지를 갖는)의 경우는 비교적 큰 penetration depth를 갖지만 grazing incidence를 이용하게 되면 수 나노 이하의 두께에서 일어나는 현상에 대한 연구가 가능하다. 본 tutorial에서는 전자의 에너지 영역인 VUV영역에서 가능한 방사광을 이용한 여러 가지 표면분석법(XPS, MCD, XAS, ARPES, SPEM, PEEM등)에 대한 세부강의를 제공하고자 한다. 총론에서는 경 x-선을 포함하는 방사광을 이용한 표면분석기술이 어디까지 발전되어 왔고 어느 수준까지 분석이 가능한지에 대한 전체적인 view를 제공하고자 한다. 본 tutorial은 이제 막 방사광을 이용한 연구를 수행하려는 연구자들, 지금까지 특정 분석기술을 사용한바 있는 연구자들, 그리고 여러 가지 방사광이용 표면분석방법에 대한 이해가 필요한 소재 혹은 소자의 개발자들에 좋은 배움의 기회가 될 것입니다.

$Y(Pr)Ba_2Cu_4O_8$ system is one of the most studied high temperature superconductors. Substitution of Pr for Y in this system suppresses $T_c$ and superconductivity finally disappears at a high Pr doping. There are competing theories for the suppression of $T_c$ but systematic experimental results are very rare. In order to find the change in Fermi surface topology which can affect the superconductivity, we have performed angle-resolved photoemission studies on single crystal samples of $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ and $PrBa_2Cu_4O_8$. While the Fermi surface of $YBa_2Cu_4O_8$ shows a similar topology to those of other cuprates, we observe only 1D like band structures in $PrBa_2Cu_4O_8$. We find no significant differences in the chain band for both samples.

Based on fully self-consistent dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) method, we investigate electronic structure and Fermi surface nesting property of LiFeAs and NaFeAs, focusing on the correlation effect of iron 3d orbital. For LiFeAs, good nesting property by density functional theory (DFT) method is much suppressed by DFT+DMFT method due to the orbital-dependent renormalization magnitude. NaFeAs shows a similar behavior, but a better nesting is obtained than LiFeAs from DFT+DMFT Fermi surfaces. Our result is consistent with the observed superconducting (spin density wave) ground state of LiFeAs (NaFeAs).

We have investigated an Au intercalated monolayer graphene on Ni(111) using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), high resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES), and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) at the 3A2 ARUPS beamline in Pohang Accelerator Laboratory. We find the monolayer graphene is well grown on the Ni(111) surface by the adsorption of acetylene. However, the graphene does not show the characteristic $\pi$ band near the Fermi level due to its strong interaction with the underlying substrate. When Au is adsorbed on the surface and then annealed at high temperature, we observe that Au is intercalated underneath the monolayer graphene. The process of the Au intercalation was monitored by HRPES of corresponding Au 4f and C 1s core levels as well as the electronic structure of the $\sigma$, $\pi$ states at $\Gamma$, K points. The $\sigma$, $\pi$ bands of graphene shift towards the Fermi level and the $\pi$ band is clearly observed at K point after the intercalation of full monolayer Au. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the C 1s peak narrows to approximately 0.42 eV after intercalation. These results imply that the interaction between the graphene and substrate is considerably weakened after the Au intercalation. We will discuss the graphene is really closer to ideal free standing graphene suggested recently.

There are theoretical and experimental evidences for the pseudo-gap in electron doped cuprates being due to interaction between electrons and anti-ferromagnetism(AFM). A remaining issue is on how AFM correlates with pseudo-gap, and eventually with superconductivity. To elucidate the issue, we have performed temperature dependent angle-resolved photoemission studies of an e-doped cuprate superconductor $Sm_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4$(SCCO) x=0.18 at 20K and 150K. In the case of $Nd_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_4$, the most well known e-doped cuprate, pseudo-gap disappears at around 100 K for x=0.17. Our experimental result reveals that the pseudo-gap of SCCO exists even at 150K for x=0.18. This result implies that the AFM of SCCO survives even in x=0.18, which agrees with previously reported phase diagram of SCCO. Yet, the superconductivity disappears around x=0.18 for both NCCO and SCCO in spite of the difference in the magnetic order. This result sheds a light on the disappearance of superconductivity on the over-doped side.
