Temperature effects in soft and hard x-ray photoemission from topological insulators — •Jürgen Braun, Jan Minar, and Hubert Ebert — Dept. Chemie, LMU Universität München, Germany
A brief introduction to the theory of temperature-dependent soft and hard x-ray angle-resolved photo electron spectroscopy (SARPES, HARPES) of solid materials is given with an emphasis on the so-called one-step-model of photoemission. The main aspects of the theory [1,2] and its implementation within the Munich SPR-KKR program package [3] will be reviewed. Our method, which is based on the Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) alloy theory (alloy analogy model), goes well beyond the simple, but standard Debye-Waller approach to photoemission by including in particular the temperature dependence of the effective photoemission matrix elements as well. This allows among others to reproduce the so called XPS- or density of states limit in angle-resolved photoemission which occurs for high photon energies and/or high temperatures due to a full Brillouin zone averaging caused by phonon scattering. First examples of soft- and hard x-ray ARPES calculations at finite temperature for W(110), Sb2Te3 and Bi2Se3 will be presented.
