摘要: An angle-resolved photoemission study of Ag nanofilms on Fe(110) substrates has been carried out to investigate their growth and electronic structures. From low energy electron diffraction patterns spectra, it is found that the crystallinity a nanofilm improved by deposition at lower temperature subsequent annealing. The fine-structures derived from quantized states sp valence electrons are observed in spectra grown with
