Surface Band-Gap Narrowing in Quantized Electron Accumulation Layers
Research led by Philip King, Chris McConville and Tim Veal at Warwick in collaboration with European colleagues has found that many body interactions play an unexpectedly large role in the surface electronic properties of several compound semiconductors. The work, which used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, will be published today in Physical Review Letters. For more details see:!
