Orbital origin and matrix element effects in the Ag/Si(111)-()R30° Fermi surface

2007

The Fermi surface (FS) of the Ag/Si(1 1 1)-3×3 reconstruction with an excess of Ag has been mapped by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy with polarized light in a wide region of the reciprocal space and with different detection geometries. In contrast to previous results, a strong polarization dependence is observed. Applying the dipole selection rules, it is found that the surface state at the Fermi level, S1 state, has odd symmetry with respect to the mirror plane of the honeycomb-chained triangle structure, indicating that it is mainly derived from Ag 5px and 5py orbitals. This conclusion is revised in the new frame of a inequivalent-triangle structure for the Ag/Si(1 1 1)-3×3 at …

The spin texture of a Dirac-type surface state in W(110) lends itself to study spin-dependent effects in electron spectroscopies that show up very clearly. Firstly, we report on spin-resolved photoemission calculations and separate the spin polarization that is attributed to the initial state from that induced by the photoemission process itself. This disentanglement allows one to map spin textures of spin-polarized initial states using circular dichroism, for example from Dirac surface states in topological insulators. Secondly, we demonstrate the mapping of spin-polarized states by spin-dependent two-electron emission. Selecting highly polarized initial states, this spectroscopy can furth…

A source of polarized electrons based on photoemission of GaAsP.

1990

Abstract The source described is based on photoemission of electrons from 100-GaAs0.62P0.38 activated to negative electron affinity. It is built to inject a beam of polarized electrons into the 350 MeV linear accelerator in Mainz. It is capable of delivering a mean current of 28 μA spin-polarized longitudinally to a degree of 0.44. The lifetime of the cathode under operational conditions is better than 200 h. The source was successfully run in a parity experiment, in which the analysing power of quasielastic scattering from beryllium for longitudinally polarized electrons was measured.

A first-principles time-dependent density functional theory framework for spin and time-resolved angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy in perio…

2017

We present a novel theoretical approach to simulate spin, time, and angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) from first-principles that is applicable to surfaces, thin films, few layer systems, and low-dimensional nanostructures. The method is based on a general formulation in the framework of time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to describe the real time-evolution of electrons escaping from a surface under the effect of any external (arbitrary) laser field. By extending the so-called t-SURFF method to periodic systems one can calculate the final photoelectron spectrum by collecting the flux of the ionization current trough an analyzing surface. The resulting approach…

Test of band structure calculations for Heusler compounds by spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

2012

The electronic density of states of epitaxial thin films of the Heusler compound Co${}_{2}$MnGa is probed in situ by spin-resolved ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy. The experiments reveal several characteristic features in the intensity spectrum and a clear Fermi edge signature. A high spin polarization of $\ensuremath{\simeq}\phantom{\rule{-0.16em}{0ex}}55%$ at the Fermi edge is followed by a sign change at the binding energy of $\ensuremath{\simeq}$0.8 eV. Corresponding calculations of the band structure and the photoemission spectrum were performed employing a spin-polarized relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker code. Good agreement between the experimental data and calculations was …

Orbital character variation of the Fermi surface and doping dependent changes of the dimensionality inBaFe2−xCoxAs2from angle-resolved photoemission …

2010

From a combination of high resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional calculations, we derive information on the dimensionality and the orbital character of the electronic states of ${\text{BaFe}}_{2\ensuremath{-}x}{\text{Co}}_{x}{\text{As}}_{2}$. Upon increasing Co doping, the electronic states in the vicinity of the Fermi level take on increasingly three-dimensional character. Both the orbital variation with ${k}_{z}$ and the more three-dimensional nature of the doped compounds have important consequences for the nesting conditions and thus possibly also for the appearance of antiferromagnetic and superconducting phases.

Metal valence states inEu0.7NbO3,EuNbO3,andEu2Nb5O9by TB-LMTO-ASA band-structure calculations and resonant photoemission spectroscopy

1998

The electronic structures of ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{2}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{9},$ ${\mathrm{EuNbO}}_{3},$ and ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{0.7}{\mathrm{NbO}}_{3}$ have been investigated by photoemission and total-yield spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation, and in the case of ${\mathrm{Eu}}_{2}{\mathrm{Nb}}_{5}{\mathrm{O}}_{9}$ by tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital (LMTO) band-structure calculations. A central question for reduced europium niobates is that of the valence of Eu and Nb. Both europium and niobium atoms can appear in different valence states so that various electronic configurations in the title compounds are possible. For this reason, the valence band was studied by the resonant Eu…

Dynamical Processes in Open Quantum Systems from a TDDFT Perspective: Resonances and Electron Photoemission

2015

We present a review of different computational methods to describe time-dependent phenomena in open quantum systems and their extension to a density-functional framework. We focus the discussion on electron emission processes in atoms and molecules addressing excited-state lifetimes and dissipative processes. Initially we analyze the concept of an electronic resonance, a central concept in spectroscopy associated with a metastable state from which an electron eventually escapes (electronic lifetime). Resonances play a fundamental role in many time-dependent molecular phenomena but can be rationalized from a time-independent context in terms of scattering states. We introduce the method of c…
