Electronic coupling of quantized states in Ag nano®lm with fcc Fe(1 0 0) substrate

An angle-resolved photoemission study for the Ag nano®lm grown on the pseudomorphic fcc Fe(1 0 0) substrate has been carried out in order to investigate the detailed quantized electronic states. From the angle-resolved photoemission measurements, the dispersions of quantized electronic states in the present Ag nano®lms along the direction parallel to the nano®lm surface were directly determined. From these results, we discuss the electronic coupling of quantized electronic state in the Ag nano®lm with the electronic state of fcc Fe(1 0 0) substrate. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
