R. Matzdorf et al., GIANT TEMPERATURE EFFECTS IN NORMAL-EMISSION PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTRA FROM AG(111) AND AU(111), Surface science, 352, 1996, pp. 670-674
The experimental determination of electronic energy bands E(k) from th
e kinematical analysis of angle-resolved photoelectron spectra is now
nearly routine. In contrast only very few attempts have been made to q
uantitatively interpret peak intensities (going beyond the application
of polarization selection rules), In this context we did investigate
the influence of temperature T on peak intensities and linewidths, Dur
ing that work we detected that at particular k-space points bulk direc
t transition intensities exhibit a ''giant'' T dependence, with temper
ature coefficients larger by an order of magnitude as compared to othe
r k-space points nearby. We present such data and compare them to calc
ulations performed within the one-step theory of photoemission. An int
erpretation is given by multiple scattering effects and a constructive
final state interference.
