Item Open Access Reflection of high-frequency phonons at silicon-solid interfaces(1981) Marx, Dieter; Eisenmenger, WolfgangIn reflection experiments with phonons of frequencies above 280 GHz propagating along (110) directions we observed large deviations from the acoustic mismatch theory for silicon-metal, silicon-condensed gas, and silicon-liquid helium interfaces.Item Open Access Epitaxy and scanning tunneling microscopy image contrast of copper-phthalocyanine on graphite and MoS2(1994) Ludwig, Christoph; Strohmaier, Rainer; Petersen, Jörg; Gompf, Bruno; Eisenmenger, WolfgangMonolayers of copper–phthalocyanine (Cu–Pc) on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) and MoS2 prepared by organic molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy. On both substrates there exist well defined preparation conditions leading to ordered two-dimensional arrays of flat lying molecules. On HOPG they form a close-packed structure with a nearly quadratic unit cell, whereas on MoS2 we found two phases, one close-packed and one rowlike phase. This rowlike phase can be explained by a long range interaction due to an adsorbate induced superstructure of the substrate, which also can be seen in the scanning tunneling microscopy images. In images with submolecular resolution, the molecules appear different on the two substrates. On MoS2 they look like a four-leaved clover, on graphite they show a more detailed inner structure.Item Open Access Dynamics of poling PVDF between 25°C and 120°C(1991) Eberle, Gernot; Eisenmenger, WolfgangPVDF films with high β-content are poled in an electric field of 60 MV/m at temperatures between 25°C and 120°C. At 25°C the alignment of dipoles takes place in a central poling zone during several hours of poling. When the temperature is increased to 120°C the poling time necessary to align the dipoles in this narrow zone is reduced to several seconds. In addition, at temperatures higher than 90°C and increased poling times the central poling zone first increases but later decreases in its dielectric displacement. Simultaneously in a 10 μm regime adjoining the positive electrode a secondary displacement zone starts to grow. The strong reduction of this peak under short circuit conditions indicates hetero-charge accumulation in front of an anode.Item Open Access Continuous high resolution phonon spectroscopy up to 12meV : measurement of the A+ binding energies in silicon(1986) Burger, Wilfried; Lassmann, KurtWe have measured the binding energies of Ga+, Al+, and In+ centers in silicon with energy-resolved phonon-induced electrical conductivity. For Ga+ and Al+ we obtain the value of about 2 meV as earlier found for B+, whereas the binding energy of In+ is 6 meV. Spectral structures attributed to impurity interactions found for higher concentrations of In at energies up to about 12 meV demonstrate that acoustic phonons up to this energy are transmitted from the tunnel junction to the substrate.Item Open Access Optical and magneto-optical investigations on 3D Dirac- and Weyl-semimetals(2017) Neubauer, David; Dressel, Martin (Prof. Dr.)This work concentrates on optical investigations on 3D Dirac- and Weyl-semimetals with and without applied magnetic fields. Four compounds are extensively discussed, namely the 3D Dirac semimetal Cd3As2, the Weyl semimetals TaAs and NbP, and finally evidence is found for 2D Dirac states in the iron based superconductor FeSe. For the measurements in magnetic fields a novel magneto-optical installation is designed and implemented in the lab. The design principle and characterization of this setup is presented.Item Open Access Diffusive scattering of high-frequency phonons at free silicon surfaces(1983) Marx, Dieter; Eisenmenger, WolfgangComparing measurements of high-frequency phonon reflection at the uncovered and optically polished (100)-silicon surface, with calculations considering phonon focusing, reveal complete diffusive scattering with at most 4% specular reflection contribution. Two possible mechanisms causing diffusive scattering are discussed.Item Open Access Tuning charge order in (TMTTF)2X by partial anion substitution(2021) Pustogow, Andrej; Dizdarevic, Daniel; Erfort, Sebastian; Iakutkina, Olga; Merkl, Valentino; Untereiner, Gabriele; Dressel, MartinIn the quasi-one-dimensional (TMTTF)2X compounds with effectively quarter-filled bands, electronic charge order is stabilized from the delicate interplay of Coulomb repulsion and electronic bandwidth. The correlation strength is commonly tuned by physical pressure or chemical substitution with stoichiometric ratios of anions and cations. Here, we investigate the charge-ordered state through partial substitution of the anions in (TMTTF)2[AsF6]1-x[SbF6]x with x≈0.3, determined from the intensity of infrared vibrations, which is sufficient to suppress the spin-Peierls state. Our dc transport experiments reveal a transition temperature TCO = 120 K and charge gap ΔCO=430 K between the values of the two parent compounds (TMTTF)2AsF6 and (TMTTF)2SbF6. Upon plotting the two parameters for different (TMTTF)2X, we find a universal relationship between TCO and ΔCO yielding that the energy gap vanishes for transition temperatures TCO≤60 K. While these quantities indicate that the macroscopic correlation strength is continuously tuned, our vibrational spectroscopy results probing the local charge disproportionation suggest that 2δ is modulated on a microscopic level.Item Open Access Phonon detection by the fountain pressure in superfluid 4Helium films(1980) Eisenmenger, WolfgangThe importance of phonon focussing was first demonstrated by Taylor, Maris and Elbaum, who calculated the phonon intensities or different modes in single crystals from the detailed form of the angle or k-dependent sound velocity surfaces. The results of these calculations are well-confirmed by experiment. It is quite surprising that phonon focussing leads in several crystals to very narrow beams of phonon energy propagation especially for transverse modes, as recently calculated by Rosch and Weis, who presented their computer results in a very instructive form. From these theoretical results it appears worthwhile to devise methods by which the intensity distribution of incoherent phonons propagating in single crystals can be measured in detail or directly imaged.Item Open Access Field induced gas emission of polymer films(1992) Selle, Michael; Eberle, Gernot; Gompf, Bruno; Eisenmenger, WolfgangPoling polyvinylidene fluoride under vacuum conditions causes strong gas emission, which is analyzed with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The dominant peak in the mass spectrum is HF, which is produced by electrochemical reactions at the sample surface. After the electric field is switched off, the gas emission unexpectedly increases to a value higher than under the field. This can be explained by ionic charge detrappingand charge migrationItem Open Access Thermal motion of one-dimensional domain walls in monolayers of a polar polymer observed by Video-STM(1993) Ludwig, Christoph; Eberle, Gernot; Gompf, Bruno; Petersen, Jörg; Eisenmenger, WolfgangScanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to investigate monolayers of the ferroelectric copolymer polyvinylidenefluoride/trifluoroethylene P(VDF/TrFE) showing images of ordered polymer monolayers. By scanning with video frame rate, direct observation of the motion of onedimensional domain walls was also possible for the first time. The images clearly show domain walls normal to the polymer chains. From measurements of the temperature dependence of the domain wall velocities the activation energy for the thermally generated kink motion was estimated. These results are compared with theoretical models describing domain wall motion in ferroelectric PVDF.
