Matrix elements in photoemission

In summary, the main contributions to the matrix elements in ARPES are discussed in papers by Arun Bansil and his collaborators. A specific paper, "Matrix element effects in angle-resolved photoemission from Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8" published in Physical Review B, discusses the energy and polarization dependencies, final state spectrum, and spectral signatures of specific transitions in high-Tc superconductors.

What are the main contributions to the matrix elements (intensity asymmetries with respect to normal emission) in ARPES?
Is there a theoretical paper on that?

Do a search on Arun Bansil's papers. He and his collaborators have published a few papers on the matrix elements effects in ARPES spectra of high-Tc superconductors.

If you can't find them, I can do a quick search when I get into work tomorrow.

Thanks a lot.

But, I couldn't find any paper from this guy about matrix elements...

Only things about topological insulators...Can you provide a doi...?

Try using Google Scholar and search on "Bansil Photoemission". You'll find several papers, including this:

Lindroos et al. PRB v.65, p.054514.1 (2002), "Matrix element effects in angle-resolved photoemission from Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8: Energy and polarization dependencies, final state spectrum, spectral signatures of specific transitions, and related issues"

Related to Matrix elements in photoemission

1. What are matrix elements in photoemission?

Matrix elements in photoemission refer to the coefficients that describe the probability of an electron transitioning from an initial state to a final state during the process of photoemission. These matrix elements are used to calculate the intensity of photoemitted electrons and provide insight into the electronic structure of a material.

2. How are matrix elements calculated in photoemission?

Matrix elements in photoemission are typically calculated using quantum mechanical methods, such as density functional theory or many-body perturbation theory. These calculations take into account the electronic structure of the material and the interaction between the photon and the electron.

3. What factors affect the value of matrix elements in photoemission?

The value of matrix elements in photoemission can be affected by several factors, including the energy of the incident photon, the electronic structure of the material, and the geometry of the photoemission experiment. Additionally, the spin and momentum of the electron can also impact the matrix elements.

4. How do matrix elements in photoemission contribute to our understanding of materials?

Matrix elements in photoemission provide valuable information about the electronic structure of a material, including the energy and momentum distribution of the electrons. This information can be used to study the properties and behavior of materials, as well as to predict their potential applications in various fields.

5. Can matrix elements in photoemission be manipulated or controlled?

Yes, matrix elements in photoemission can be manipulated and controlled through various methods such as changing the incident photon energy or modifying the electronic structure of the material. This allows for precise control over the photoemission process and can provide additional insights into the properties of materials.
