Some perspectives in electron momentum spectroscopy experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
The basic challenges of electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) as it has guided our research efforts at Carleton University are outlined. These challenges are: (a) Are the spectroscopic factors obtained in EMS equivalent to the spectroscopic factors observed in photoelectron spectroscopy? (b) Can experimental momentum profiles be related to the chemical reactivity of complex molecular systems? (c) Are the basic assumptions of (e,2e) reaction theory valid for complex molecular systems? Insights based on our efforts to address these questions are presented.

The (e,2e) spectroscopy, achievements and perspectives
Electron-electron coincidence experiments have experienced over the past twenty years an increasingly rapid expansion and application to many different fields. Among them, the (e,2e) spectroscopy has been successfully used to investigate either the target electronic structure or the ionisation dynamics. The capability of this spectroscopy to investigate single particle properties in atoms, mole...
متن کاملLasers Emerge as a Tool for the Direct Study of Electrons in Solids
A ngle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy is the most direct way to observe the quantum-mechanical structure of electrons in solids and one of the key tools used to understand the complex electronic interactions that lead to high-temperature superconductivity.1 In these experiments, high-energy photons eject electrons from the material of interest. Because the electron momentum is conserved in...
متن کاملElastic and inelastic scattering in electron momentum spectroscopy of amorphous Ge films
Electron momentum spectroscopy (an (e, 2e) experiment in the high-energy and large momentum transfer limit) is a scattering approach to the study of the electronic structure. The intensity observed in these experiment is, for an infinitely thin film, simply proportional to the spectral momentum density. For experiments using free-standing films of a more realistic thickness (100 Å or so), elast...
متن کاملLimits to the spatial, energy and momentum resolution of electron energy-loss spectroscopy.
We discuss various factors that determine the performance of electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) and energy-filtered (EFTEM) imaging in a transmission electron microscope. Some of these factors are instrumental and have undergone substantial improvement in recent years, including the development of electron monochromators and aberration correctors. Others, such as radiation damage, delocal...
متن کاملProbing electron correlation and nuclear dynamics in Momentum Space
Orbital imaging experiments employing Electron Momentum Spectroscopy are subject to many complications, such as distorted wave effects, conformational mobility in the electronic ground state, ultra-fast nuclear dynamics in the final state, or a dispersion of the ionization intensity over electronically excited (shake-up) configurations of the cation. The purpose of the present contribution is t...
