Direct Measurement of Electron-Phonon Coupling with Time-Resolved ARPES
2020
Time- and angular- resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is a powerful technique to measure electron dynamics in solids. Recent advances in this technique have facilitated band and energy resolved observations of the effect that excited phonons, have on the electronic structure. Here, we show with the help of ab initio simulations that the Fourier analysis of the time-resolved measurements of solids with excited phonon modes enables the determination of the band- and mode-resolved electron-phonon coupling directly from the experimental data without any additional input from theory. Such an observation is not restricted to regions of strong electron-phonon coupling and does not require strongl…
Titanium dioxide surface stoichiometry and ordering studied by resonant photoemission spectroscopy
2005
Abstract The electronic structure of titanium dioxide surfaces having undergone different preparations leading to different stoichiometries and crystallinities has been studied using resonant photoemission spectroscopy. Valence band photoemission spectra through the Ti 3p–3d/4s absorption edge between 45 and 55 eV were measured and allowed a characterization of defects present at the surface as well as of the quality of the surface organization. Indeed, from the comparison of the resonance results obtained for each kind of surface with the LEED patterns on the one hand and the corresponding Ti 2p core level lines on the other hand, it was evidenced that the high binding energy part of the v…
Radiative Cooling of a Small Metal Cluster: The Case ofV13+
1999
Size-selected stored metal cluster ions, ${\mathrm{V}}_{13}^{+}$, have been heated by photoexcitation ( $\ensuremath{\lambda}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}730$ to 229 nm) to well-defined excitation energies corresponding to temperatures between 1000 and 2100 K. A millisecond pump-probe photodissociation technique was applied to measure the time-resolved radiative cooling. The observed decay rates are directly related to the radiative energy loss and are explained quantitatively by the competing processes of photoemission and atom evaporation.
Size-dependent photoemission shifts in small metal clusters
1986
Density-functional calculations of the change in self-consistent-field energy ( Delta SCF) type are reported for core-level photoemission shifts in small metal spheres. The results for the atom-in-jellium vacancy model show that the binding energies are increased from bulk-metal values, but the photoemission shifts show considerable oscillations as a function of cluster size.

Circular Dichroism in Photoemission from Nonmagnetic, Low- Z Solids: A Conspicuous Effect of the Photon Spin
1992
A new phenomenon has been observed in solid-state photoemission with circularly polarized light. Its outward appearance is similar to the circular dichroism in photoabsorption. For special observation geometries, large photoelectron intensity asymmetries arise upon reversal of the photon helicity. The effect is not based on spin-orbit interaction, as is demonstrated by the example of photoemission from graphite (Z = 6). Similar asymmetries are expected for all single-crystal solids thus opening up a new class of experiments providing new tests for photoemission theories. Detailed information on the dynamics of photoexcitation of a solid can be gained, as discussed in terms of a simple orbit…
Spin polarisation and dichroism in ARUPS from thin rare earth films
2001
Abstract In the present study, spin polarisation and dichroism were investigated in angular resolved VUV photoemission ARUPS from magnetised as well as paramagnetic rare earth surfaces. Thin Gd(0001) films were prepared epitaxially on W(110). The photoelectrons were excited by polarised synchrotron radiation from the BESSY I synchrotron radiation source. A SPLEED detector attached to an electron spectrometer mounted on a single axis goniometer was used for angular resolved spin analysis. The main part of this work focused on the characteristic surface state of Gd(0001) which shows a splitting, as previously observed by linear magnetic dichroism and spin polarised photoemission. The spin ana…
Incoherent midinfrared charge excitation and the high-energy anomaly in the photoemission spectra of cuprates
2007
On the basis of a semi-phenomenological model, it is argued that the high energy anomaly observed in recent photoemission experiments on cuprates is caused by interaction with an overdamped bosonic mode in the mid-infrared region of the spectrum. Analysis of optical conductivity allows to connect this excitation to the incoherent charge response reported for the majority of high Tc materials and some other perovskites. We show that its large damping is an essential feature responsible for the "waterfall" dispersion and linewidth of the spectral weight.
Energy- and angle-dependent threshold photoemission magnetic circular dichroism from an ultrathin Co/Pt(111) film
2010
Threshold photoemission magnetic circular dichroism (TPMCD) in one-photon photoemission (1PPE) and two-photon photoemission (2PPE) is measured at an ultrathin Co film grown on Pt(111). Energy-dependent measurements reveal maximum asymmetries directly at the photoemission threshold (1.90% for 1PPE and 11.7% for 2PPE) which weakly decrease with increasing photon energy. The measured TPMCD asymmetries are discussed in two excitation models on the basis of spin-resolved band-structure calculations. For the model of direct band-to-band transitions in other k directions than the direction of observation (Gamma-L) ab initio calculations for 1PPE and 2PPE are performed. The theory is in reasonable …
Electronic structure studies ofBaFe2As2by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy
2009
We report high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies of the electronic structure of ${\text{BaFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$, which is one of the parent compounds of the Fe-pnictide superconductors. ARPES measurements have been performed at 20 and 300 K, corresponding to the orthorhombic antiferromagnetic phase and the tetragonal paramagnetic phase, respectively. Photon energies between 30 and 175 eV and polarizations parallel and perpendicular to the scattering plane have been used. Measurements of the Fermi surface yield two hole pockets at the $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$ point and an electron pocket at each of the $X$ points. The topology of the pockets has been conclu…
