Pv. Avramov et Sg. Ovchinnikov, Effects of strong electron correlations in X-ray and electron spectra of high-T-c superconductors, PHYS SOL ST, 42(5), 2000, pp. 788-809
The current state of theoretical and experimental studies on the electronic
structure of high-T-c superconductors is analyzed. The agreement between t
he theory and experimental spectroscopic data is shown to be rather poor in
certain cases. The reason is that the X-ray and electronic spectra reveal
strong electron correlations. At the same time, no realistic model has been
developed up to now in which both one-electron and multielectron mechanism
s of the formation of the spectra could be described in a unified way in co
mpounds containing transition and rare-earth elements. In this paper, parti
cular attention is paid to a sudden-perturbation model, by which it has bee
n possible to describe or interpret some X-ray and electronic spectra, incl
uding both one-electron and multielectron effects. (C) 2000 MAIK "Nauka/Int
