    The stability of graphene band structures against an external periodic perturbation; Na on Graphene

    We report that the π\pi band of graphene sensitively changes as a function of an external potential induced by Na especially when the potential becomes periodic at low temperature. We have measured the band structures from the graphene layers formed on the 6H-SiC(0001) substrate using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron photons. With increasing Na dose, the π\pi band appears to be quickly diffused into background at 85 K whereas it becomes significantly enhanced its spectral intensity at room temperature (RT). A new parabolic band centered at kk\sim1.15 \AA1^{-1} also forms near Fermi energy with Na at 85 K while no such a band observed at RT. Such changes in the band structure are found to be reversible with temperature. Analysis based on our first principles calculations suggests that the changes of the π\pi band of graphene be mainly driven by the Na-induced potential especially at low temperature where the potential becomes periodic due to the crystallized Na overlayer. The new parabolic band turns to be the π\pi band of the underlying buffer layer partially filled by the charge transfer from Na adatoms. The five orders of magnitude increased hopping rate of Na adatoms at RT preventing such a charge transfer explains the absence of the new band at RT.Comment: 6 pages and 6 figure

    This paper reports the empirical 5GHz wideband channel model in apartment building. The channel measurement system is based on the pseudo-noise (PN) correlation method. In measurements, transmitter is fixed at two different positions in a house while receiver moves from the rooms of the house to those of nearby houses in each transmitter position. From measurement results, propagation loss and wideband channel characteristics are analyzed. As a result, we found that the signal reflected to neighboring buildings proffered other clusters. Especially, in cases of the receiver positions where with a big window and large away from the transmitter, this phenomenon is emphasized. And transmitter located at the biased position, could cause the imbalance of received signal level in a single house and the interference to neighboring houses

    Understanding the Role of Electronic Effects in CO on the Pt-Sn Alloy Surface via Band Structure Measurements

    Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we show direct evidence for charge transfer between adsorbed molecules and metal substrates, i.e., chemisorption of CO on Pt(111) and Pt-Sn/Pt(111) 2 x 2 surfaces. The observed band structures show a unique signature of charge transfer as CO atoms are adsorbed, revealing the roles of specific orbital characters participating in the chemisorption process. As the coverage of CO increases, the degree of charge transfer between CO and Pt shows a clear difference to that of Pt-Sn. With comparison to density functional theory calculation results, the observed distinct features in the band structure are interpreted as back-donation bonding states formed between the Pt molecular orbital and the 2 pi orbital of CO. Furthermore, the change in the surface charge concentration, measured from the Fermi surface area, shows that the Pt surface has a larger charge concentration change than the Pt-Sn surface upon CO adsorption. The differences between Pt and Pt-Sn surfaces are due to the effect of Pt-Sn intermetallic bonding on the interaction of CO with the surface
