This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intriguing physical properties presented in some complex oxides of transition metals draw attention not only in fundamental research but also in applications, for instance, superconductivity, colossal magnetoresistance, multiferroicity. The strong electronic correlation is at the origin of these behaviours. The thesis is a contribution to both the experimental effort to determine the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems and the critical assesment of the theoretical models describing them. Experimentally, the work of is devoted to the investigations of the low-energy excitations (d-d excitations, charge transfer, ...) of the ground state by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering. The experiments have been performed on the SEXTANTS beamline of SOLEIL synchrotron (France) using the high resolving power AERHA spectrometer. The analysis of the data has been focused on the determination of the the crystal field of the transition metal involved using the crystal field multiplets theory.Two systems have been investigated: the multiferroics RMnO3 (R = Tb, Dy) and the ferromagnetic Mott insulator Lu2V2O7.

This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PhD thesis reports on investigations of several oxide-based materials using advanced infrared and Raman spectroscopy techniques and in combination with external stimuli such as high magnetic or electric field, sptial confinement in thin film heterostructures and the radiation with UV light. This leads to new results in the fields of superconductivity, electronic polarization states and nanoscale phenomena. Among these, the observation of anomalous polar moments is of great relevance for understanding the electric-field-induced metal-to-insulator transistion; and the demonstration that confocal Raman spectroscopy of backfolded acoustic photons in metal-oxide multilayers can be used as a powerful characterization tool for monitoring their interface properties and layer thickness is an important technical development for the engineering of such functional oxide heterostructures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the most recent and compelling experimental results for complex oxide interfaces. The results of this book were obtained with the cutting-edge photoemission technique at highest energy resolution. Due to their fascinating properties for new-generation electronic devices and the challenge of investigating buried regions, the book chiefly focuses on complex oxide interfaces. The crucial feature of exploring buried interfaces is the use of soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) operating on the energy range of a few hundred eV to increase the photoelectron mean free path, enabling the photons to penetrate through the top layers – in contrast to conventional ultraviolet (UV)-ARPES techniques. The results presented here, achieved by different research groups around the world, are summarized in a clearly structured way and discussed in comparison with other photoemission spectroscopy techniques and other oxide materials. They are complemented and supported by the most recent theoretical calculations as well as results of complementary experimental techniques including electron transport and inelastic resonant X-ray scattering.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardly any other discovery of the nineteenth century did have such an impact on science and technology as Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen’s seminal find of the X-rays. X-ray tubes soon made their way as excellent instruments for numerous applications in medicine, biology, materials science and testing, chemistry and public security. Developing new radiation sources with higher brilliance and much extended spectral range resulted in stunning developments like the electron synchrotron and electron storage ring and the freeelectron laser. This handbook highlights these developments in fifty chapters. The reader is given not only an inside view of exciting science areas but also of design concepts for the most advanced light sources. The theory of synchrotron radiation and of the freeelectron laser, design examples and the technology basis are presented. The handbook presents advanced concepts like seeding and harmonic generation, the booming field of Terahertz radiation sources and upcoming brilliant light sources driven by laser-plasma accelerators. The applications of the most advanced light sources and the advent of nanobeams and fully coherent x-rays allow experiments from which scientists in the past could not even dream. Examples are the diffraction with nanometer resolution, imaging with a full 3D reconstruction of the object from a diffraction pattern, measuring the disorder in liquids with high spatial and temporal resolution. The 20th century was dedicated to the development and improvement of synchrotron light sources with an ever ongoing increase of brilliance. With ultrahigh brilliance sources, the 21st century will be the century of x-ray lasers and their applications. Thus, we are already close to the dream of condensed matter and biophysics: imaging single (macro)molecules and measuring their dynamics on the femtosecond timescale to produce movies with atomic resolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments in hard x-ray resonant inelastic x-ray scattering as a probe of strongly correlated systems are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to studies of Nd2CuO4. A charge transfer excitation is observed when the incident photon energy is tuned in the vicinity of the copper K-edge. It is shown that the presence of resonant enhancements is controlled by the polarization dependence of the excitation process and by the overlap between a given intermediate state and the particular excitation being studied. This latter observation has shed light on the non-local effects present in certain intermediate states.

This book was released on 1996-09-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Raman Emission by X-rays (REX-I) Workshop focused on Raman Scattering of x-rays mostly from Synchrotron Radiation Sources. The advent of new high brightness sources of x-ray radiation has given new impetus to this tantalizing technique that has offered ways of obtaining new insights into the atomic and electronic structure of solids and gases, but which has been limited by weak sources of excitation. In the last five years, Raman scattering by x-rays has been observed an ubiquitous phenomena. It has been applied to yield new information about the band structure of solids and about the electronic structure of atoms. It was the object of this workshop to identify and define key issues in this rapidly developing subfield of x-ray physics by gathering together a group of theorists and experimentalists, and by providing overlap between atomic and condensed matter physics. The workshop aimed to achieve this end by providing an environment to discuss the latest developments and to initiate cross fertilization in the difference areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transition metal oxides are presently the focus of much attention in condensed matter physics because of the diverse phenomena exhibited by these materials. Examples include antiferromagnetism, superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. The origin of these phenomena lies in the strong electron correlations present in these materials which place them between the well understood limits of band insulators and simple metals. The presence of these correlations makes these materials hard to handle theoretically, and there is a need for more detailed experimental work, in particular in regard to the electronic structure and excitations.

This book was released on 2013-10-03 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inelastic scattering of X-rays with very high energy resolution has finally become possible thanks to a new generation of high-intensity X-ray sources. This development marks the end to the traditional belief that low energy excitations like lattice vibrations cannot be resolved directly with X-rays: Inelastic scattering experiments allow to observe directly the small energy shifts of the photons. Studies of lattice vibrations, of excitations in molecular crystals, of collective excitations in liquids and electronic excitations in crystals demonstrating the broad applicability and power of this new technology are discussed in this book. The progress in this field opens up fantastic new research areas not only in physics but also in other disciplines such as materials science,biology and chemistry.

Download or read book Electronic Excitations in Lanthanum Cuprates Measured by Resonant Inelastic X ray Scattering written by David Shai Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excitations of the valence electrons in the high-temperature superconducting cuprate La2--xSr xCuO4 were measured by Resonant Inelastic X-ray Scattering (RIXS). Several types of electronic excitations resonant at the Cu 1s→4p transition were studied over a wide range of dopings 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.35.A 500 meV excitation was observed at a reduced momentum transfer q=(pi 0) corresponding to the zone boundary, whose temperature and doping dependence was the same as the two-magnon Raman scattering mode. The momentum dependence of this 2-magnon excitation agrees with recent theoretical calculations.Momentum resolved measurements of the x=0 sample revealed a broad range of excitations above and below the main charge transfer peak, and their dispersions were measured across the Brillouin zone. These include a dispersionless ∼1.8 eV peak, which is either a local crystal field ( d-d excitation) or dipole-forbidden charge transfer excitation, and a dispersive 2.2 eV peak identified as a Zhang-Ng type charge-transfer exciton. The 2.2 eV peak was less dispersive than predicted from the theoretical models, due to electron-phonon coupling, as illustrated by the temperature dependent shift in the peak position.With increased hole doping, the RIXS spectral weight transfers from higher to lower energies, analogous to earlier optical conductivity studies. At the finite momentum of q=(pi 0), however, the changes are most systematic: an isosbestic point was observed at 2.2 eV where the spectra of all dopings cross, and spectral weight is transferred from high to low energies, with near-linear dependence on x, in a manner suggesting that the integrated RIXS intensity is preserved. The intensity and energy variations of the spectral peaks, as well as the isosbestic point and possible sum rule, could be explained qualitatively by a rigid three-band model which includes the non-bonding oxygen, upper Hubbard, and Zhang-Rice singlet bands. The estimated properties of the bands, such as width and energy separation, are in reasonably quantitative agreement with current theoretical models and angle-resolved photoemission measurements. Moreover, anomalies in the doping dependence are similar to those observed in other types of spectroscopies. These results underscore the relevance of the RIXS method in understanding the electronic behavior of the Lanthanum cuprates.
