Background:

  • Lead quantum wells (QW) on Pb/Si(111) serve as a model system.
  • Understanding electron interactions with modulated boundaries is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate interactions between quantized electrons and adiabatic boundaries.
  • Explore a novel adiabatic shift in quantum well resonances.
  • Develop a method to probe subsurface electronic properties.

Main Methods:

  • Epitaxial growth of lead quantum wells on annealed Pb/Si(111).
  • Analysis of tunnel spectra.
  • Application of scanning tunneling microscopy.

Main Results:

  • Observed a previously unknown adiabatic shift of quantum well resonances.
  • Demonstrated that this shift is caused by lateral variations in the electronic reflection phase at the buried interface.
  • Established a link between resonance shifts and subsurface reflection phase.

    • Conclusions:

    • The adiabatic shift provides a new tool to study electron-interface interactions.
    • Scanning tunneling microscopy can map the lateral distribution of the subsurface reflection phase.
    • This work advances the understanding of quantum phenomena at interfaces.
