Band gaps and electronic structure of alkaline-earth and post-transition-metal oxides

Abstract: The electronic structure in alkaline earth AeO (Ae = Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) and post-transition metal oxides MeO (Me = Zn, Cd, Hg) is probed with oxygen K -edge X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. The experimental data is compared with density functional theory electronic structure calculations. We use our experimental spectra of the oxygen K -edge to estimate the bandgaps of these materials, and compare our results to the range of values available in the literature. From the calculated partial DOS we con… Show more

“…In Bi-2212, the prominent PG in the BiO(I) layer hampers a direct visualization of the VHS in the underlying SrO(I) layer. Since the VHS develops only after the Bi-2212 samples were annealed to recover superconductivity under the ozone flux, we argue that it might most probably originate from the interstitial oxygen dopants in the SrO(I) layer [19,20], which shift the valance band of insulating SrO upwards to the E F [21]. Nevertheless, the metallic nature of SrO(I) layer leaves little possibility that the PG observed on BiO(I) has a simple root at the subsurface CuO 2 layer due to a missing of VHS around E F on BiO(I).…”

“…This shows Mg co-ordination to be almost the same, both at the surface and in the volume of the film. The measured O K-edge NEXAFS X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectra [40,[90][91][92][93][94] of the film detected by TEY and TFY [95] modes are shown in Figure 8b. According to electronic structure calculation the spectral features B1, B2, B3, B 4 and B5 in the energy range of 80 eV above threshold arise from multiple scattering resonances in the energy of the excited The measured O K-edge NEXAFS spectra [40,[90][91][92][93][94] of the film detected by TEY and TFY [95] modes are shown in Figure 8b.…”

“…2) infers that lattice constant of SrO film is almost perfectly matched with Sr 3 PbO film (experimental mismatch ∼0.2% evaluated from (002) reflections). Strontium oxide is an insulator with a large band gap of 6.1 eV, 31 which is ideal as a barrier layer. Therefore, it would be an interesting future work to create a multilayer of Sr 3 PbO and SrO, particularly pertaining to recent theoretical proposal to induce novel topological states via artificial structure.…”
