Probing electron correlation and nuclear dynamics in Momentum Space
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 to illustrate how a proper treatment of these complications enables us to probe in momentum space the consequences of electron correlation and nuclear dynamics in neutral and cationic states.

Attosecond light pulses for probing two-electron dynamics of helium in the time domain.
Using attosecond light pulses to doubly ionize a two-electron wave packet of helium, we showed that the time-resolved correlated motion of the two electrons can be probed by measuring their six-dimensional momentum distributions. For simple wave packets, we showed that the measured momenta, when analyzed in appropriate coordinates, can reveal the stretching, the rotational, and the bending vibr...
متن کاملDevelopment of a momentum microscope for time resolved band structure imaging.
We demonstrate the use of a novel design of a photoelectron microscope in combination to an imaging energy filter for momentum resolved photoelectron detection. Together with a time resolved imaging detector, it is possible to combine spatial, momentum, energy, and time resolution of photoelectrons within the same instrument. The time resolution of this type of energy analyzer can be reduced to...
متن کاملUltrafast momentum-dependent response of electrons in antiferromagnetic EuFe2As2 driven by optical excitation.
Employing the momentum sensitivity of time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we demonstrate the analysis of ultrafast single- and many-particle dynamics in antiferromagnetic EuFe(2)As(2). Their separation is based on a temperature-dependent difference of photoexcited hole and electron relaxation times probing the single-particle band and the spin density wave gap, respectively. Ref...

In the Fermionic Molecular Dynamics (FMD) approach many-body wave functions are described by Slater determinants of Gaussian wave-packets localized in phase space. The symmetries of the Hamiltonian are restored by projection on parity, angular and linear momentum. An effective interaction derived from the realistic Argonne V18 interaction by explicit introduction of short-range central and tens...
متن کاملProbing the spectral densities over the full three-dimensional momentum space
Electron momentum spectroscopy is often used to determine the spectral function of materials. It relies on the determination of the scattering angle of electrons with extremely high precision. In practice, it is important to calibrate these angles, and hence the momentum scales. Here we describe a method to do so and show how minor misalignments affect the measured momentum densities of Li2O. U...
