Correlation Spectroscopy of Surfaces, Thin Films, and Nanostructures

Here, leading scientists present an overview of the most modern experimental and theoretical methods for studying electronic correlations on surfaces, in thin films and in nanostructures. In particular, they describe in detail coincidence techniques for studying many-particle correlations while critically examining the informational content of such processes from a theoretical point viewpoint. Furthermore, the book considers the current state of incorporating many-body effects into theoretical approaches. Covered topics: -Auger-electron photoelectron coincidence experiments and theories -Correlated electron emission from atoms, fullerens, clusters, metals and wide-band gap materials -Ion coincidence spectroscopies and ion scattering theories from surfaces -GW and dynamical mean-field approaches -Many-body effects in electronic and optical response

This is the main motivation for the progress in the fine analysis of matter that has
occured over the past decade. Spatial, energy and time resolution have been
improved by exploiting the unprecedented brightness of third generation
synchrotron radiation sources. Among these achievements, Auger–photoelectron
coincidence spectroscopy (APECS) has its own individual status as it accesses
information that is not merely a refinement of what individual Auger and
photoemission ...
