Electron-electron correlation in graphite: a combined angle-resolved photoemission and first-principles study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The full three-dimensional dispersion of the pi bands, Fermi velocities, and effective masses are measured with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and compared to first-principles calculations. The band structure by density-functional theory underestimates the slope of the bands and the trigonal warping effect. Including electron-electron correlation on the level of the GW approximation, however, yields remarkable improvement in the vicinity of the Fermi level. This demonstrates the breakdown of the independent electron picture in semimetallic graphite and points toward a pronounced role of electron correlation for the interpretation of transport experiments and double-resonant Raman scattering for a wide range of carbon based materials.

Anisotropic electron-phonon coupling and dynamical nesting on the graphene sheets in superconducting CaC6 using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
We present the first angle-resolved photoemission studies of electronic structure in CaC6, a superconducting graphite intercalation compound with T_{c}=11.6 K. We find that, contrary to theoretical models, the electron-phonon coupling on the graphene-derived Fermi sheets with high-frequency graphene-derived phonons is surprisingly strong and anisotropic. The shape of the Fermi surface is found ...
متن کاملNovel Electron-Phonon Relaxation Pathway in Graphite Revealed by Time-Resolved Raman Scattering and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
Time dynamics of photoexcited electron-hole pairs is important for a number of technologies, in particular solar cells. We combined ultrafast pump-probe Raman scattering and photoemission to directly follow electron-hole excitations as well as the G-phonon in graphite after an excitation by an intense laser pulse. This phonon is known to couple relatively strongly to electrons. Cross-correlatin...
متن کاملHigh resolution angle resolved photoemission studies on quasi-particle dynamics in graphite
We obtained the spectral function of the graphite H point using high resolution angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). The extracted width of the spectral function (inverse of the photo-hole lifetime) near the H point is approximately proportional to the energy as expected from the linearly increasing density of states (DOS) near the Fermi energy. This is well accounted by our elect...

A theoretical study of various models which are commonly used for the analysis of angle-resolved photoemission is reported. For the example of the Pd(111) surface we discuss the quality and justification of these models. %e have calculated the @~I-resolved surface and bulk densities of states and the band structure of occupied and unoccupied states. FurtheHIlore, we have calculated photoemissio...

Angle-resolved HeI photoemission spectra of Fe(OOl) are reported and interpreted within the framework of a direct transition model using Callaway's ferromagnetic band structure. The generally good agreement between predicted and experimental peak positions is taken to be strong support for the itinerant electron theory of ferromagnetism. Spectra taken with nearly grazing incidence p-polarized l...
