(E,2e) Spectroscopic Investigations Of The Spectral Momentum Densities Of Thin Carbon Films, John Robert Dennison
(E,2e) Spectroscopic Investigations Of The Spectral Momentum Densities Of Thin Carbon Films, John Robert Dennison
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
An (e,2e) electron scattering spectrometer has been constructed and used for the first time to investigate the spectral momentum density of the valence bands of a solid target. This technique provides fundamental information about the electronic structure of both crystalline and amorphous solids. The three fundamental quantities, the band structure, electron density of states, and electron momentum distribution can be simultaneously derived from the measured (e,2e) cross section.
A review of single electron and (e,2e) scattering theory is given with an emphasis on scattering from solids. The effects of multiple scattering are discussed and a method of deconvoluting those effects …
