Correlation spectroscopy of condensed matter systems

چکیده
We present experimental and theoretical evidence for the potential of the two-particle spectroscopy to explore the electron-electron interaction in condensed matter. The experiment consists of a single electron impinging onto a clean surface. Two electrons are then emitted simultaneously and their momentum vectors are resolved. The measured energy and angular pair correlations within the pair carry direct information akin to the electron-electron interaction in the sample. We also point out that the presence of the Fermi sea leads to a damping, and a suppression of the range of the electron-electron interaction.

Ion beam sputtered surface dynamics investigated with two-time correlation functions: a model study.
Ion beam sputtering is a widely used technique to obtain patterned surfaces. Despite the wide use of this approach on different materials to create surface nanostructures, the theoretical model to explain the time evolution of the erosion process is still debated. We show, with the help of simulations, that two-time correlation functions can serve to assess the validity of different models. The...
متن کاملPhonon dynamics of graphene on metals.
The study of surface phonon dispersion curves is motivated by the quest for a detailed understanding of the forces between the atoms at the surface and in the bulk. In the case of graphene, additional motivation comes from the fact that thermal conductivity is dominated by contributions from acoustic phonons, while optical phonon properties are essential to understand Raman spectra. In this art...
متن کاملThe X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy instrument at the Linac Coherent Light Source
The X-ray Correlation Spectroscopy instrument is dedicated to the study of dynamics in condensed matter systems using the unique coherence properties of free-electron lasers. It covers a photon energy range of 4-25 keV. The intrinsic temporal characteristics of the Linac Coherent Light Source, in particular the 120 Hz repetition rate, allow for the investigation of slow dynamics (milliseconds) ...
متن کاملOne-dimensional deterministic transport in neurons measured by dispersion-relation phase spectroscopy.
We studied the active transport of intracellular components along neuron processes using a new method developed in our laboratory: dispersion-relation phase spectroscopy. This method is able to quantitatively map spatially the heterogeneous dynamics of the concentration field of the cargos at submicron resolution without the need for tracking individual components. The results in terms of densi...
