Theory of Photoemission in Simple Metals
TLDR
In this article, a theory of photoemission is presented in which all results are derived rigorously from first principles, and it is shown how to calculate properly the external current of electrons, with the transmission at the surface done correctly.Abstract:
A theory of photoemission is presented in which all results are derived rigorously from first principles. It is shown how to calculate properly the external current of electrons, with the transmission at the surface done correctly. A new and rigorous formalism is derived for doing many-body calculations in photoemission. Extensive calculations are performed on the angular dependence of photoemission. It is shown that the angular anisotropy is interesting and significant. Numerous numerical examples are presented for the alkali metals.read more

Probing the Electronic Structure of Complex Systems by ARPES
TL;DR: Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) as mentioned in this paper is one of the most direct methods of studying the electronic structure of solids, in particular for those complex systems which cannot be appropriately described within the independent-particle picture.

Theory of photoemission
TL;DR: In this paper, the separate ingredients known to be important in photoemission: band structure, surface effects, matrix elements and scattering of the outgoing wave are drawn together within a single "dynamic" formalism with the objective of finding a rapid method of calculation.
