Cardona’s main interests were in optical spectroscopy and light scattering. Among the methods he employed were modulation spectroscopy, in which he was an early leader, and inelastic light-scattering techniques using both visible lasers and x rays generated by synchrotron radiation.Manuel Cardona CastroMAX PLANCK INSTITUTE FOR SOLID STATE RESEARCH/CARMEN-M. MÜLLERPPT|High resolutionCardona and his collaborators applied those techniques to study electrons and phonons in bulk semiconductors, semiconductor micro- and nanostructures, tailor-made isotopically pure materials, and high-Tc superconductors in the normal and superconducting states. In addition to his many experimental achievements, Cardona also contributed to theoretical semiconductor physics. He was an innovator in applying the k ∙ p approximation to understand the full-zone band structure of electrons, their effective masses, and g-factors. His other contributions to theory include the computation of the deformation potential mechanism of the electron–phonon interaction and the renormalization of the bandgap of elemental semiconductors, such as diamond, due to electron–phonon interactions.Cardona was born in Catalonia, Spain, on 7 September 1934. As a young boy he traveled throughout Europe and learned several languages. That knowledge became one of his well-known skills; often he would stop in the middle of a conversation in one language and change to another spoken by a visitor. After obtaining a master’s in physics in 1955 from the University of Barcelona, Cardona joined the University of Madrid as an instructor for electronics. In 1956 he was awarded a graduate fellowship to Harvard University to work under William Paul. He investigated the dielectric properties of semiconductors—in particular, germanium and silicon. With that work as his thesis, he received a PhD in applied physics from Harvard in 1959.That same year Cardona joined RCA Laboratories in Zürich as a member of the technical staff. There he extended his reflectance work to III–V semiconductors. In 1961 he moved to RCA Labs in Princeton, New Jersey, where he continued to work on the optical properties of semiconductors and started investigating their microwave properties. He introduced a notation to label peaks in the reflectance spectra of semiconductors according to the specific parts of the energy-band structure in momentum space where the peaks originate. That notation also highlights peaks that are related via spin–orbit splitting. His notation has since become the standard method for labeling reflectance spectra of semiconductors.Between 1964 and 1971, Cardona was a member of the physics faculty of Brown University. He spent the summer of 1965 as a visiting professor at the University of Buenos Aires under the auspices of the Ford Foundation. Between 1969 and 1970, he received a John S. Guggenheim Memorial Scholarship, which allowed him to spend a year at the German Electron Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany, where he studied the vacuum-UV optical properties of semiconductors. In 1971 he moved to Stuttgart as one of the founding directors of the recently created Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. His activities there came to have a global impact. Although he retired in 2000, he continued to collaborate daily with numerous scientists throughout Europe, the Americas, and elsewhere until his death.Cardona authored or coauthored more than 1300 publications in international journals and is one of the eight most cited physicists since 1970. He wrote or edited 10 monographs on solid-state physics and cowrote a textbook on semiconductors. Beginning in 1972 Cardona served on the editorial boards of seven journals, including being the editor-in-chief of Solid State Communications from 1992 to 2004. He received the 1984 Frank Isakson Prize for Optical Effects in Solids and the 1997 John Wheatley Award from the American Physical Society, the 2001 Mott Medal and Prize from the Institute of Physics, the 2004 Blaise Pascal Medal in Physics from the European Academy of Sciences, and numerous other prestigious honors.In his memory, a special symposium entitled “Electrons, Phonons, and Photons in Semiconductors” was recently held at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research. The gathering was attended by more than 100 of his former students, postdoctoral fellows, and collaborators from around the world. The physics community and many others who have known him will miss him immensely and remember him for his encyclopedic knowledge of semiconductors and superconductors, his sense of humor, and most of all, his warm and generous personality.© 2015 American Institute of Physics.}, number={2}, journal={PHYSICS TODAY}, author={Rowe, Jack and Aspnes, Dave and Pinczuk, Aron and Yu, Peter Y.}, year={2015}, month={Feb}, pages={58–58} } @article{dougherty_sandin_vescovo_rowe_2014, title={Coverage-dependent surface magnetism of iron phthalocyanine on an O-Fe(110) surface}, volume={90}, ISSN={["2469-9969"]}, DOI={10.1103/physrevb.90.045406}, abstractNote={Iron phthalocyanine adsorbed on an oxygen covered Fe(110) surface shows a complex coverage-dependent spin polarization during growth of a molecular monolayer.

The current can enhance surface SHG by about 300% for a chemical-vapor-deposition (CVD) graphene monolayer on a SiO${}_{2}/\mathrm{Si}(001)$ substrate, and by about 25% for an epitaxial four-layer-graphene film on a 3.5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}-miscut vicinal SiC(0001) substrate. The enhancement in both the CVD and epitaxial graphene samples is due to electric field-induced SHG, which is produced by the current-associated vertical electric field at the SiO${}_{2}/$Si interface or at the graphene/SiC interface. Measurements of rotational-anisotropy SHG (RA-SH) from both samples revealed that the current-induced SHG varies strongly with the measurement location along the current flow direction. By measuring RA-SH from the vicinal SiC(0001) substrate, we determined all three second-order susceptibility tensor elements (${d}_{33}$ = \ensuremath{-}52.0 pm/V, ${d}_{15}$ = 20.0 pm/V, and ${d}_{31}$ = 18.7 pm/V) that characterize the SHG response of hexagonal SiC at the fundamental wavelength of 740 nm.

The SiC samples were cleaned by standard methods of CMP and HF etching prior to mounting in UHV and growing epitaxial graphene by thermal annealing at ∼1400 °C. Most samples were vicinally cut 3.5° off (0001) toward [11−20]. STM measurements show that the initial regular step edges were replaced by somewhat irregular edges after graphene growth. From growth-temperature and Auger data the authors estimate that the graphene is ∼3–4 ML thick. The authors find significant differences among the spectral features of the interface “buffer” layer and those of graphene. Specifically, the hyperbolic-exciton peak reported previously at ∼4.5 eV in graphene shifts to a similarly shaped peak at ∼4 eV in the interface buffer layer. The authors attribute this shift to a significant component of sp3 bonded carbon in the buffer, which occurs in addition to the sp2 bonded carbon that is present in the graphene layer. SE data in the terahertz range obtained by Hoffman et al. [Thin Solid Films 519, 2593 (2011)] show that the mobility values of graphene grown on the carbon face of SiC vary with proximity to the substrate. This leads to the question as to whether an interface layer at the Si face has properties (i.e., dielectric function/complex refractive index) that are different from and/or affect those of the graphene layers.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B}, author={Nelson, Florence and Sandin, Andreas and Dougherty, Daniel B. and Aspnes, David E. and Rowe, Jack E. and Diebold, Alain C.}, year={2012}, month={Jul} } @article{sandin_pronschinske_rowe_dougherty_2010, title={Incomplete screening by epitaxial graphene on the Si face of 6H-SiC(0001)}, volume={97}, ISSN={["1077-3118"]}, DOI={10.1063/1.3484966}, abstractNote={A biased scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip is used to study the ability of carriers in graphene to screen external electrostatic fields by monitoring the effect of tunneling-junction width on the position of image potential-derived surface states.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy have been performed on these islands to record current-voltage (I-V) curves. Because each island forms a double barrier tunnel junction (DBTJ) structure with the STM tip and the substrate, they would be expected to exhibit single electron tunneling (SET) according to the orthodox model of SET. Some of the islands formed are small enough (diameter <10 nm) to exhibit SET at room temperature and evidence of SET has been identified in some of the I-V curves recorded from these small islands. Those curves are analyzed within the framework of the orthodox model and are found to be consistent with that model, except for slight discrepancies of the shape of the I-V curves at current steps. However, most islands that were expected to exhibit SET did not do so, and the reasons for the absence of observable SET are evaluated. The most likely reasons for the absence of SET are determined to be a wide depletion region in the substrate and Schottky barrier lowering due to Fermi level pinning by surface states of the clean silicon near the islands. The results establish that although the Schottky barrier can act as an effective tunnel junction in a DBTJ structure, the islands may be unreliable in future nanoelectronic devices. Therefore, methods are discussed to improve the reliability of future devices.}, number={12}, journal={JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS}, author={Tedesco, J. L. and Rowe, J. E. and Nemanich, R.

Conducting atomic force microscopy has been performed on these islands to characterize and measure their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. Current-voltage curves were analyzed using standard thermionic emission theory to obtain the Schottky barrier heights and ideality factors between the silicide islands and the silicon substrates. Current-voltage measurements were performed ex situ for one set of samples (termed “passivated surfaces”) where the silicon surface surrounding the islands was passivated with a native oxide. Other samples (termed “clean surfaces”) remained in UHV, while I-V curves were recorded. By comparing the barrier heights and ideality factors for islands on passivated surfaces and clean surfaces, the effects of the nonpassivated surfaces on conduction have been studied. The barrier heights measured from CoSi2 islands on clean surfaces are found to be ∼0.2–0.3 eV below barrier heights measured from similar islands on passivated surfaces. The main cause of the reduced Schottky barrier in the clean surface samples is attributed to Fermi level pinning by nonpassivated surface states of the clean silicon surface. However, the measured barrier heights of the islands are equivalent on both clean Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces, suggesting that the nonpassivated surface is influenced by cobalt impurities. Furthermore, the barrier heights of islands on the clean surfaces are lower than what can be explained by Fermi level pinning alone, suggesting the presence of additional reductions in the Schottky barrier heights. These variations are greater than what can be attributed to experimental error, and the additional barrier height lowering is primarily attributed to spreading resistance effects. Schottky barrier inhomogeneity is also identified as a possible cause of the additional barrier height lowering and nonideality in the Schottky contacts. Current-voltage measurements of the clean surface samples were also obtained at several temperatures. The barrier heights were found to decrease, and the ideality factors were found to increase with decreasing temperature. The dependence of the barrier height is attributed to the temperature variation of the Fermi level.}, number={8}, journal={JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS}, author={Tedesco, J. L. and Rowe, J.

Through cloning of the P450arom gene in ovary and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, we developed a biomarker for early female differentiation in southern flounder. The deduced amino acid sequence for southern flounder P450arom is similar to other teleosts. Comparison of P450arom intron sequences from fish of different populations revealed substantial inter-individual variation. Adult ovary and spleen exhibited high levels of P450arom mRNA, while P450arom mRNA was only weakly detected in testes. Brain, liver, intestine, kidney, gill, muscle, and heart showed little or no P450arom mRNA expression. Gonads of wild and hatchery-produced juvenile flounder of sizes spanning the period of sex differentiation initially exhibited low levels of P450arom mRNA followed by increases in some individuals and bifurcation into two clearly segregated groups (i.e., putative males and females) beginning at approximately 65 mm in total length. Gonadal histology confirmed predictions of sex based on P450arom expression in juvenile flounder, demonstrating that the patterns of P450arom expression observed relate to sex-specific differentiation.

Y2O3 films of ∼8, ∼15, and 65 Å were formed by plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition on HF-last Si(100). With this deposition technique, SiO2 forms at the interface and a kinetically limited silicate layer forms between the resulting SiO2 deposited Y2O3. For 65 Å films, the Y 3d5/2 binding energy was between 158.8 and 159.0 eV, 2.2–2.4 eV higher than the reported value of 156.6 eV for Y2O3. For 8 and 15 Å films, the Y 3d5/2 binding energies were 159.6 and 158.9 eV, respectively. The relatively high binding energies are attributed to hydroxide incorporation in the film. For the ultrathin films, ∼10 Å of SiO2 was formed at the interface during or after the deposition. For the 8 Å film, no silicate is detectable whereas for the 15 Å film, an estimated 4 Å of silicate is present between the interfacial SiO2 and Y2O3 overlayer. Because this transition layer does not form in the 8 Å film, it is concluded that the mixing is kinetically limited. For the 8 Å film, the Si 2p3/2 [SiO2] binding energy was 3.65 eV relative to the substrate peak. For the 15 Å deposition, the Si 2p3/2 [SiO2] binding energy was 3.44 eV and the Si 2p3/2 [silicate] binding energy was 2.65 eV relative to the substrate peak.}, number={4}, journal={JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B}, author={Ulrich, MD and Rowe, JE and Niu, D and Parsons, GN}, year={2003}, pages={1792–1797} } @article{park_miller_klier_opila_rowe_2003, title={Heteroepitaxial copper phthalocyanine on Au(001) studied by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy}, volume={529}, ISSN={["1879-2758"]}, DOI={10.1016/S0039-6028(03)00274-7}, abstractNote={We report the formation of heteroepitaxial copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) thin film grown on a reconstructed Au(0 0 1) surface and the high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy study thereof.

W4f core-level photoemission spectra and W valence band spectra have been measured at various photon energies, and at normal and grazing emission angles, for W(1 1 1) and W(2 1 1). These two surfaces were chosen for this study because it has been shown previously that W(1 1 1) covered with monolayer films of several different 4d and 5d transition metals develop nanoscale pyramidal facets with (2 1 1) faces, upon annealing. The present work extends the measurement to another catalytically active overlayer metal, Ru. The growth and evolution for dosing and annealing on both W surfaces are investigated for coverages from 0 to greater than 3 monolayers of Ru (1 ML=1.7 × 1015 atoms/cm2). Incremental dosing of Ru causes intermixing of the Ru and W atoms at the interface, even at fractional monolayer coverages. Annealing of surfaces with Ru coverages > 1 ML produces a complex set of SXPS results that indicate the formation of surface Ru/W alloys. Faceting of Ru/W(1 1 1) is observed by LEED for Ru coverages > 1 ML, after annealing at temperatures between 700 and 1000 K. Upon annealing to temperatures higher than 1000 K, the SXPS data indicate that clustering of the Ru–W surface alloys may occur.}, number={2-3}, journal={SURFACE SCIENCE}, author={Gladys, MJ and Jackson, G and Rowe, JE and Madey, TE}, year={2003}, month={Oct}, pages={193–208} } @article{ulrich_hong_rowe_lucovsky_chan_madey_2003, title={Soft x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of (HfO2)(x)(SiO2)(1-x) high-k gate-dielectric structures}, volume={21}, number={4}, journal={Journal of Vacuum Science & Technology.

The 2p core-level spectra for silicon show evidence of five distinct states of Si, attributable to the five oxidation states of silicon between Si0 (the Si substrate) and Si4+ (the thin SiO2 film). The relative binding energy shifts for peaks Si1+ through Si4+ (with respect to Si0) are in agreement with earlier work. The relatively weaker signals found for the three intermediate states (I1, I2, and I3) are attributed to silicon atoms at the abrupt interface between the thin SiO2 film and substrate. Estimates of the interface state density from these interface signals agree with the values reported earlier of ∼2 monolayers (ML). The position and intensity of the five peaks are measured as a function of post-growth annealing temperature, crystal orientation, and exposure to He/N2 plasma. We find that annealing produces more abrupt interfaces (by reducing the suboxide interface state density), but never more abrupt than ∼1.5 monolayers. We observe a 15%–20% drop in the interface thickness (in particular the “Si2+” peak intensity) with increasing annealing temperature. Somewhat different behavior is observed with small amounts of nitrogen in the SiO2 film where an apparent increase in interface state density is seen.
