One-step theory of pump-probe photoemission — •Jürgen Braun1, Roman Rausch2, Michael Potthoff2, Jan Minàr1, and Hubert Ebert1 — 1Dept. Chemie, LMU Universität München, Germany — 2I. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg, Germany
A theoretical frame for the description of pump-probe photoemission is presented. The approach is based on a general formulation using the Keldysh formalism for the lesser Green function to describe the real-time evolution of the electronic degrees of freedom in the initial state after a strong pump pulse that drives the system out of equilibrium. The final state is represented by a time-reversed low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) state. Our one-step description is related to Pendry's original formulation of the photoemission process as close as possible. The formalism allows for a quantitative calculation of the time-dependent photocurrent in particular for simple metals where a picture of effectively independent electrons is assumed as reliable. The theory is worked out for valence- and core-electron excitations [1]. As a first application, the theoretical description of two-photon photoemission for real systems within the KKR-approach is introduced [2].
