Future directions in standing-wave photoemission

چکیده
Over the past decade, standing-wave photoemission (SW-XPS) has evolved into a powerful and versatile non-destructive technique for probing element-specific electronic, magnetic, and structural properties of buried layers and interfaces with sub-nanometer depth resolution. In this article, I will discuss several promising future directions in this emergent field stemming from experimental and theoretical studies wherein SW-XPS is combined with other X-ray techniques, such as magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES), angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES), and photoemission microscopy (PEEM), adding extra dimensions to the measurement and thus widening the scope of scientific and technological questions accessible via the use of standing waves. I will further discuss examples of recently developed methods for X-ray standing-wave data analysis, which yield layer-resolved matrix-element-weighted densities of states at interfaces as well as Ångstrom-level changes in periodicity of synthetic superlattices. Finally, I will explore the possibility of localizing the standing waves near the surface and within a buried layer by the use of aperiodic superlattices, total reflection, and X-ray

Site-specific valence-band photoemission study of a-Fe2O3
We have measured the site-specific valence electronic structure of a-Fe2O3 by using a spatially modulated x-ray standing wave as the excitation source for photoemission. Contributions to the valence-band density of states from oxygen and iron ions are separated by this method. Both a bonding and nonbonding state originating from oxygen ions are obtained. The valence densities of states from iro...

The experiments on perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic-3,4,9,10-dianhydride and 16FCuPc on Ag(111) surfaces by the normal incidence x-ray standing wave are poorly reproduced by first-principles ground state calculations but well reproduced by considering initial- and final-state effects, which include the response of the valence electrons to screen a core hole created by x-ray photoemission and f...
متن کاملLocalizing of a Four-Level Atom via Absorption Spectrum
We propose a scheme for localizing an atom in a four-level configuration inside a classical standing wave field, conditioned upon the measurement of frequency of a weak probe field. In the classical standing wave field, the interaction between the atom and the field is position dependent due to the Rabi-frequency of the driving field. Hence, as the absorption frequency of the probe field is mea...

Maximizing the current and stability of the beam is an important goal in high-energy accelerators. Low-energy electron clouds can be produced from photoemission caused by synchrotron radiation, ionization of residual gas in beam-pipe, and secondary electrons. In lepton accelerators like CesrTA, low-energy electron clouds form primarily from synchrotron radiation of a positron beam and cause des...
