Particle - in - a - box momentum densities compared with electron momentum spectroscopy measurements *
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the momentum space representation of the solutions of a particle in a three-dimensional box. By comparing the calculated momentum densities of a particle in a box with the measured distribution of highly symmetric molecules we want to elucidate the nature of the measured orbitals. Finally the measured momentum distribution of a free electron metal is compared with the results of this model. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Band structure of silicon as measured in extended momentum space
Direct measurement of the wave function or at least the modulus squared of the wave function, the spectral function is an important goal in electron spectroscopy. This requires a state-selective i.e., energy resolved measurement of the momentum density in all of momentum space, not just the reduced Brillouin zone. Photoemission has been used very successfully to measure dispersion, mainly in th...
متن کاملWhen the classical & quantum mechanical considerations hint to a single point; a microscopic particle in a one dimensional box with two infinite walls and a linear potential inside it
In this paper we have solved analytically the Schrödinger equation for a microscopic particle in a one-dimensional box with two infinite walls, which the potential function inside it, has a linear form. Based on the solutions of this special quantum mechanical system, we have shown that as the quantum number approaches infinity the expectation values of microscopic particle position and square ...
متن کاملThe Spectral Momentum Density of Aluminium, Copper and Gold Measured by Electron Momentum Spectroscopy
Electron momentum spectroscopy (EMS) gives direct information of the full energyresolved electron momentum densities of occupied states (bands) in solids – single crystal, polycrystalline or amorphous. Here we present data from a new high energy EMS spectrometer using 50 keV incident and 25 keV outgoing electrons, on polycrystalline specimens of aluminium, copper and gold. The spectral momentum...

The flexibility of the (e, 2e) technique or "electron momentum spectroscopy" (EMS) in obtaining information on the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and solids is demonstrated. Highresolution EMS measurements for argon, including the first measurements of momentum profiles belonging to the 2 P° and D-manifolds, are used to demonstrate the technique for atomic targets. The d-wave transit...
متن کاملThe direct measurement of spectral momentum densities of silicon with high energy (e, 2e) spectroscopy
Electron momentum spectroscopy is a coincidence technique that measures the spectral momentum density of matter. In this paper we outline the theoretical framework underlying these measurements, give a description of the spectrometer, and show in detail the information this technique can provide for the prototypical material silicon. We present results for single crystals as well as amorphous s...
