3d transition metal oxides
strong coupling between charge/orbital/spin/lattice
degrees of freedom lead to:
- metal-insulator transitions
- charge and orbital ordering
- local magnetism (ferro, antiferro,…)
- high-temperature superconductivity
- collossal magnetoresistance
-…
Epitaxial heterostructures by MBE, PLD
controlled interfaces, additional functionalities:
- strain engineering
- interfacial 2dim electron gas (2DEG)
- electrostatic doping (by polarity or field effect)
- artificial multiferroics
- spin injection
-…

12. PES theory in a nutshell:
1) Independent electron approximation
13. PES theory: Independent electrons
Time-dependent perturbation theory
Unperturbed electron system:
one-electron states ψ with energy E
Perturbation: i ( k ⋅r −2πνt )
classical radiation field with vector potential A(r , t ) = A0e
Fermi´s Golden Rule
for the photoinduced transition rate from initial to final states:
ik ⋅r
2
wi → f ∝ ψ f A0e ⋅ p ψ i δ ( E f − Ei − hν )
Hence, the total photoelectron current is:
I PES (ε ) ∝ ∑ wi → f δ (ε − E f )
i, f
14. PES theory: Independent electrons
ik ⋅r
2
wi → f ∝ ψ f A0e ⋅ p ψ i δ ( E f − Ei − hν )
final state: energy conservation
inverted LEED state initial state:
(eigenstate of semi-infinite crystal) Bloch wave or core level
15. PES theory: Independent electrons
ik ⋅r
2
wi → f ∝ ψ f A0e ⋅ p ψ i δ ( E f − Ei − hν )
final state: high-energy Bloch state of infinite crystal,
inverted LEED stateand 3 incoherently decoupled
steps 2
(eigenstate of semi-infinite crystal)

wi → f ∝ ψ f A0e ⋅ p ψ i δ ( E f − Ei − hν )
transition matrix element
If the radiadion field is only weakly modulated on
atomic length scales,
(i.e. λ = 2π k >> few Å), the photon momentum k can be neglected in
the transition matrix element:
ik ⋅r
f A0e ⋅ p i ≈ f A0 ⋅ p i ∝ A0 ⋅ f er i
Examples:
Dipole approximation
hν = 20 eV λ ≈ 600 Å
hν = 2000 eV λ ≈ 6 Å

Dipole approximation and k-selection rule for Bloch states
momentum conservation: only"vertical"

20. Many-body effects in photoemission
N interacting electrons:
Ekin
hν
Photoemission process:
sudden removal of an electron from
N-particle system
"loss" of kinetic energy due to
interaction-related excitation energy
stored in the remaining N-1 electron
system !
21. Reinterpretation of Fermi´s Golden Rule
Fermi´s Golden Rule for N-particle states:

ˆ

with
Ψi ,0 = N ,0 N-electron ground state of energy EN, 0 ("initial state")
Ψ f ,s = k , N − 1, s N-electron excited state of energy EN, s, ("final state")
consisting of N-1 electrons in the solid and
a free photoelectron of momentum k and
energy ε

ˆ = ∑ A(ri ) ⋅ pi = M if c + ci

i =1 electron basis

22. Electron removal spectrum
Fermi´s Golden Rule for N-particle states:
2
I (ε ) ∝ ∑ Ψ f , s ∆ Ψi ,0 δ ( E N , s − E N ,0 − hν )
ˆ
s
a little bit of math
and a few plausible assumptions
(sudden approximation)
The ARPES signal I (ε ) is directly proportional to the

single-particle spectral function A (ω ) = − Im G (ω ) × f (ω )

81. Summary
Photoelectron spectroscopy of functional oxides:
Heterostructures and buried interfaces
• Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES)
yields (destruction-free) information on
- chemical composition, valencies, local chemistry
- electronic structure (band structure, spectral function)
• PES with hard x-rays (HAXPES)
- enhanced probing depth giving access to bulk and buried interfaces
- needs high x-ray intensity ( synchrotron radiation)
- caveat: high photon momentum (ARPES difficult, recoil effects)
• Future directions:
- magnetic information with polarized x-rays (XMCD, XMLD) and/or spin detection
- soft x-ray ARPES: band mapping of buried interfaces
