The interest in such systems has grown enormously not only because of their technological relevance but even more because of exciting new physics.

The following article presents a recent theoretical development in the field of angle-resolved photoemission with a special emphasis on time-resolution. In detail, a theoretical frame for two-photon photoemission spectroscopy is introduced. The approach is based on a general formulation using the Keldysh formalism for the lesser Green’s function to describe the real-time evolution of the electronic degrees of freedom in the initial state after a sufficiently weak pump pulse drives the system out of equilibrium. Assuming that not only the probe but also the pump pulse is relatively weak, a perturbative approach can be formulated that allows to compute the lesser Green function explicitly for real systems in terms of the corresponding retarded and advanced Keldysh Green functions. The final state is represented by a time-reversed low-energy electron diffraction state. This so called two-photon photoemission spectroscopy is a widely used analytical tool to study non-equilibrium phenomena in solid materials. The theoretical approach presented here aims at a material-specific, realistic and quantitative description of the time-dependent spectrum based on a picture of effectively independent electrons as described by the local-density approximation in band-structure theory.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15726,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena","volume":"281 ","pages":"Article 147542"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144203725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose that the spectrum obtained by differentiating the energy spectrum in a logarithmic representation (defined as DLS) can be used to evaluate the excitation function that generates the fine structure of the secondary electron energy distribution. We found that the fine structure of the energy distribution of secondary electrons in NFE metals is mainly due to emission through a cascade process generated by the electrons from plasmon decay, which was obtained from analyses of the DLS, the excitation function, the energy distribution of secondary electrons <em>N(E)</em>, and the EELS spectra. In addition, slow Auger electrons also generate secondary electrons through the cascade process. In Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, a fine structure of secondary electrons was generated by electrons excited to unoccupied states by inter-band transitions and inner-shell excitation. In GaAs, both contributions from plasmon decay and electrons excited to unoccupied states by inter-band transitions and inner-shell excitation were observed. Based on these findings, it is concluded that the fine structure of the energy distribution of the secondary electrons emitted in the cascade process is due to the following electrons: 1) electrons from plasmon decay, 2) slow Auger electrons, and 3) electrons excited to unoccupied states by inter-band transitions or inner-shell excitation. These fine structures are superimposed on the structure of the individual excitation by primary electrons.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15726,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Electron Spectroscopy and Related Phenomena","volume":"280 ","pages":"Article 147539"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143824538","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
