Abstract
We present a theory for photoelectron scattering in the 100--1000 eV energy range designed to simulate experimental measurements of angle-resolved photoemission extended fine structure (ARPEFS) from ordered surfaces. The zero-order problem of photoabsorption in the solid is treated first, followed by a scattering problem which incorporates the scattering ion cores in a perturbation series (cluster expansion). The dynamics of core-hole relaxation are discussed, but the dynamical effects are shown to be small. The Taylor-series magnetic-quantum-number expansion is used for the curved-wave, multiple-scattering equations. We argue that a velocity-dependent surface barrier gives primarily an inner potential shift, with no clear evidence for surface electron refraction. Analytic formulas for aperture integration are derived and thermal averaging in a correlated Debye model is extended to multiple scattering. Reasonable values for nonstructural parameters in the theory are shown to give very good simulations of the experimental ARPEFS measurements from c(2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2)S/Ni(001) in contrast to previous theoretical calculations. We find, in agreement with full multiple-scattering calculations, that forward focusing is a fundamental feature of ARPEFS and that curved-wave corrections are essential for quantitative results. Since the scattering path-length difference is not appreciably altered by forward scattering, the ARPEFS oscillation frequency is equal to the geometrical path-length difference plus a small potential phase shift, but the amplitude and constant phase of the oscillations cannot be predicted by theories based upon single-scattering or plane-wave approximations.

We
present
a
theory
for
photoelectron
scattering
in
the
100-1000 ev
energy
range
designed
to
simulate
experimental
measurements
of
Angle-
Resolved
Photoemission
Extended
Fine
Structure
(ARPEFS)
from
ordered
surfaces.
The
zero-order
problem
of
photoabsorption
in
the
solid
is
treated
first,
followed
by a
scattering
problem
which
incorporates
the
scattering
ion-cores
in
a
perturbation
series
(cluster
expansion).
The
dynamics
of
core-hole
relaxation
are
discussed,
but
the
dynamical
effects
are
shown
to
be
small.
The
Taylor-series
magnetic
quantum
number
expansion
is
used
for
the
curved-wave,
multiple-scattering
equations.
We
argue
that
a
velocity-dependent
surface
barrier
gives
primarily
an
inner
potential
shift,
with
no
clear
evidence
for
surface
electron
refraction.
Analytic
formulas
for
aperture
integration
are
derived
and
thermal
averaging
in
a
correlated
Debye model
is
extended
to
multiple
scattering.
Reasonable
values
for
non-structural
parameters
in
the
theory
are
shown
to
give
very
good
simulations
of
the
experimental
ARPEFS
measurements from
c(2X2)S/Ni(001)
in
contrast
to
previous
theoretical
calculations.
We
find,
in
agreement
with
full
multiple-
scattering
calculations,
that
forward
focussing
is
a
fundamental
feature
of
ARPEFS
and
that
curved-wave
corrections
are
essential
for_

2
quantitative
results.
Since
the
scattering
path-length
difference
is
not
appreciably
altered
by
forward
scattering,
the
ARPEFS
oscillation
frequency
is
equal
to
the
geometrical
path
length
difference
plus
a
small
potential
phase
shift,
but
the
amplitude
and
constant
phase
of
the
oscillations
cannot
be
predicted
by
theories
based
upon
single-
scattering
or
plane-wave
approximations.

TL;DR: A review of the background physics of the process and the development of the technique is described in this article, and a brief discussion of the high energy forward scattering version of the X-ray photoelectron diffraction-XPD is included, but the most of the review is concerned with the lower energy backscattering method more relevant to the determination of detailed adsorption sites on surfaces.
