    Surface and bulk electronic structure of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4: Unusual splitting of the β band
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2012) Zabolotnyy, V.B.; Carleschi, E.; Kim, T.K.; Kordyuk, A.A.; Trinckauf, J.; Geck, J.; Evtushinsky, D.; Doyle, B.P.; Fittipaldi, R.; Cuoco, M.; Vecchione, A.; Büchner, B.; Borisenko, S.V.
    We present an angle-resolved photoemission study of the surface and bulk electronic structure of the single layer ruthenate Sr2RuO4. As the early studies by photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy were confronted with a problem of surface reconstruction, surface ageing was previously proposed as a possible remedy to access the bulk states. Here, we suggest an alternative way by demonstrating that, in the case of Sr2RuO4, circularly polarized light can be used to disentangle the signals from the bulk and surface layers, thus opening the possibility to investigate many-body interactions both in bulk and surface bands. The proposed procedure results in improved momentum resolution, which enabled us to detect an unexpected splitting of the surface β band. We discuss the origin of the splitting of the β band and the possible connection with the Rashba effect at the surface.

    Direct chemical vapor deposition synthesis of large area single-layer brominated graphene
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019) Hasan, M.; Meiou, W.; Yulian, L.; Ullah, S.; Ta, H.Q.; Zhao, L.; Mendes, R.G.; Malik, Z.P.; Ahmad, N.M.; Liu, Z.; Rümmeli, M.H.
    Graphene and its derivatives such as functionalized graphene are considered to hold significant promise in numerous applications. Within that context, halogen functionalization is exciting for radical and nucleophilic substitution reactions as well as for the grafting of organic moieties. Historically, the successful covalent doping of sp2 carbon with halogens, such as bromine, was demonstrated with carbon nanotubes. However, the direct synthesis of brominated graphene has thus far remained elusive. In this study we show how large area brominated graphene with C-Br bonds can be achieved directly (i.e. a single step) using hydrogen rich low pressure chemical vapor deposition. The direct synthesis of brominated graphene could lead to practical developments. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
