A. Beckmann et al., INFLUENCE OF RANDOMLY DISTRIBUTED SURFACE STEPS ON PHOTOEMISSION LINESHAPE, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 198(2), 1996, pp. 665-672
The model of randomly distributed steps is examined with respect to th
e possibility of non-lifetime broadening in photoemission spectra from
sp-band surface states. The peak shape is discussed in terms of hole
lifetime, terrace width, and angle of emission. The model calculations
are based on the parameters of the Cu(lll) sp-surface state.
