A study of effects induced in the Be 1s core level spectrum and in the surface band structure after Si adsorption on Be(0001) is reported. The changes in the Be 1s spectrum are quite dramatic. The number of resolvable surface components and the magnitude of the shifts do decrease and the relative intensities of the shifted components are drastically different compared to the clean surface. The surface band structure is also strongly affected after Si adsorption and annealing. At [Formula: see text] the surface state is found to move down from 2.8 to 4.1 eV. The band also splits at around 0.5 Å-1 along both the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] directions. At [Formula: see text] and beyond [Formula: see text] only one surface state is observed in the band gap instead of the two for the clean surface. Our findings indicate that a fairly small amount of Si in the outer atomic layers strongly modifies the electronic properties of these layers.


In the present work, we have studied intercalated Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDC) MTiS2 compounds (M = Cr, Mn, Fe) by Density Functional Theory (DFT) with Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA). We have computed the structural and electronic properties by using first principle method in QUANTUM ESPRESSO computational code with an ultra-soft pseudopotential. A guest 3d transition metal M (viz; Cr, Mn, Fe) can be easily intercalated in pure transition metal dichalcogenides compound like TiS2. In the present work, the structural optimization, electronic properties like the energy band structure, density of states (DoS), partial or projected density of states (PDoS) and total density of states (TDoS) are reported. The energy band structure of MTiS2 compound has been found overlapping energy bands in the Fermi region. We conclude that the TiS2 intercalated compound has a small band gap while the doped compound with guest 3d-atom has metallic behavior as shown form its overlapped band structure.
