Important Consideration of IPES: Low Count Rates (Himpsel) fine structure constant R = Rydberg Const. σ(IPES) ~ 10-8 photons/electron: cannot use intense ebeams (sample damage) σ(PES) ~ 10-3 electrons/photon: can use intense hv sources (synchrotrons) Bottom line: IPES is not for the impatient, or for unstable samples.
Himpsel: Fermi edge for Ta: resolution ~ 300 meV (~400 meV for Dowben group): Note Thermal Broadening
Mapping out the conduction band (k|| = 0) (adopted from Himpsel paper): note slight matrix element effects on intensities as Ei is varied
Growth of Graphite (Multilayer graphene) on SiC(0001)—Forbeaux, et al., PRB 58 (1998) 16396 LEED shows that Si evaporation leads to graphitization at ~ 1400 C.
Same transition followed with IPES (normal emission) Forbeaux, et al. Note formation of π* band

Graphene/MgO(111) : Angle integrated photoemission, and angle-resolved IPES cobmine to show a band gap ! (Kong, et al.) Why is the π below the σ feature in the VB, and the reverse in the CB ? Answer: at Many k-values, π is below σ angle integrated PES gives this result. At k=0, the π and π* are closer to EF than σ, σ*, so IPES yields this result. We could do ARPES (need synchrotron, really).
Conclusions: • IPES conduction band DOS—k vector resolved only • Minor Cross sectional effects • Time consuming, low count rates • ~Monolayer sensitive • PES+IPES can give accurate picture of VB, DOS, and Band gap formation PES: angle resolved or integrated • Spin-resolved versions of both IPES and PES possible.
PES, IPES and surface states of semiconductors Surface states of semiconductors can be used in reconstruction, or dangling bonds can have signficant effects—good or bad—in interfacial device properties. Surface states usually lie in the band gap—can be affected by dopants

How does surface structure affect the magnetic behavior of magnetic alloys? e.g., Ristoiu, et al. Europhys. Lett. 49 (2000) 624 Unit cell of NiMnSb --supposed to have very high polarization near Fermi level, but measurements inconsistent Could surface composition affect this? Combine spin integrated photoemission with spin-resolved inverse photoemission to find out. Why this combo: spin-integrated photoemission, spin resolved IPES?
Ristoiu, et al. MOKE and LEED data for NiMnSb(100) film Easy axis of magnetization <110> Spin integrated PES used to determine surface composition Surface is Sb-rich
Removal of excess surface Sb enhances spin polarization near Fermi level More sputtering and annealing stoichiometric Clean, excess Sb P
NiMnSb conclusions --surface magnetization very sensitive to surface structure --surface prep therefore critically impacts MTJ performance --Need to correlate surface compostion with electronic and magnetic structure.
