Double photoemission from the surface state of Cu(111)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the double photoemission spectra from the occupied surface state of Cu(1 1 1). We present and discuss the regularities in the angular and energy distributions of the process. For the emission from the d-band of Cu(1 1 1), the depth of generation of correlated photoelectron pairs is estimated. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Quantum Control of Nuclear Motion at a Metal Surface†
The possibility of quantum control of surface photochemical reactions is demonstrated for the system of Cs/Cu(111). Coherent nuclear wave packet motion is induced by resonant dipole excitation with 3.08 eV light from an occupied surface state intrinsic to the Cu(111) surface to an unoccupied Cs antibonding state for a Cs atom coverage of 0.1 monolayer. Interferometric time-resolved two-photon p...
متن کاملRashba-type spin splitting and spin interference of the Cu(111) surface state at room temperature
We report on the measurement of the Rashba-type spin splitting of the Shockley surface state on Cu(111) by spinand angle-resolved photoemission at room temperature. Along the spatial direction expected for a Rashba-type effect the measured spin splitting corresponds to what has previously been reported by first principle calculations which were verified by high resolution ARPES using low temper...
متن کاملCoverage-Dependent Modification of the Surface Electronic Structure of an Organic-Semiconductor-Adsorbate Layer
The electronic structure of a hexa-cata-hexabenzocoronene (HBC)/ Cu(111) interface is investigated by two-photon photoemission over a range of coverage from 0 to 2 ML monolayers. It is found that increasing the HBC coverage shifts the vacuum level of the Cu substrate until this shift saturates at a coverage of ∼2 ML. Over this same range of coverage, the Shockley and the bare-surface Cu(111) im...
متن کاملCorrelation effects in two electron photoemission.
Many-body effects in solids are ultimately related to the correlation among electrons, which can be probed by double photoelectron emission. We have investigated the electron pair emission from a Cu(111) surface upon photon absorption. We are able to observe for the first time the full extension and shape of a depletion zone around the fixed emission direction of one electron. It has an angular...
متن کاملElectron wave function at a vicinal surface: switch from terrace to step modulation.
The Cu(111) surface state has been mapped for vicinal surfaces with variable step densities by angle-resolved photoemission. Using tunable synchrotron radiation to vary the k dependence perpendicular to the surface, as well as the (k) dependence, we find a switch between two qualitatively different regimes at a miscut of 7 degrees (17 A terrace width). For larger miscut angles the step modulati...
