Abstract:
By growing monolayer FeSe on SrTiO3(001) surface, researchers obtain the highest superconducting transition-temperature for iron-based superconductor. Here, we study the antiferromagnetic (AFM) checkerboard monolayer FeSe adsorbed on SrTiO3(001) surface. We show that the system has a considerable charge transfer from SrTiO3(001) substrate to FeSe monolayer, and so has a self-constructed electric field. The FeSe monolayer band structure near the Brillouin zone (BZ) center is sensitive to charge doping, and the spin-resolved energy bands at BZ corner are distorted to be flattened by the perpendicular electric field. It is revealed that the striking disappearance of the Fermi surface around the BZ center can be well explained by the AFM checkerboard phase with charge doping and electric field effects. We propose a tight-binding model Hamiltonian to take these key factors into account. We also show that this composite structure is an ideal electron-hole bilayer system, with electrons and holes respectively formed in FeSe monolayer and TiO2 surface layer.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
