Crystal-induced surface state of Ni(111) modified by a h-BN overlayer — •Karen Zumbrägel¹, Christian Eibl¹, Kathrin Wulff¹, Matthias Hengsberger², and Markus Donath¹ — ¹Physikalisches Institut, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität, Münster, Germany — ²Physik-Institut, Universität Zürich, Switzerland

The physics of electronic states at surfaces and interfaces is a highly relevant topic in the context of miniaturised electronic devices. We have studied the influence of a monolayer boron nitride (BN) on Ni(111) with spin-resolved inverse photoemission. While interface states have already been identified and thoroughly studied with respect to their dispersion and spin polarization [1], the behaviour of the crystal-induced surface state of clean Ni(111) [2] upon BN adsorption remains controversial. Our spin-resolved results will be discussed along with theoretical and experimental work available in the literature.
