Topology-dependent life-time of surface states — •Koray Köksal and Jamal Berakdar — Institut für Physik, Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, Heinrich-Damerow-Str. 4, D-06120 Halle(Saale), Germany

On the ground of analytical and numerical calculations we show that the life time of surface states of noble metals can be tuned by the appropriate topology of surface. Results are presented for curved Cu(111) surface. We also discuss how the predicted effect can be realized experimentally and measured by means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy [1] and two-photon photoemission [2,3].
