Quantized electronic states in nanostructures

Abstract

This brief introduction explores the electronic structure and synthesis of surfaces that are structured at the nanometer level. Magnetic multilayers serve as examples of two-dimensional structures, decorated steps represent one-dimensional systems. Synchrotron radiation spectroscopy can play a leading role in the investigation of electronic states and magnetism of these systems if it can be combined with structural characterization by scanning tunneling microscopy. © 1995.
