Confined electronic state in small Co islands on Cu(100) — •Timofey Balashov¹, Albert F.

We investigated the electronic structure of 3ML Co islands on Cu(100) with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. A standing wave pattern was observed on the islands in the energy region from -50 to 100 meV with respect to the Fermi energy. We were able to extract the dispersion curve for this state by comparing the state energy on islands of different sizes, with different wavelengths of the standing wave pattern. The observed dispersion corresponds well to a minority Co band in theoretical band structure calculations.
