Photoemission experiments involve the motion of an electron near a conducting surface. This necessarily generates heat by ohmic losses from eddy currents. This inelastic scattering of the electrons will result in a downward shift in…
It is shown that for materials near the metal insulator transition, inelastic losses can give rise to substantial changes on a scale of 10-100 meV in the observed lineshape compared to the intrinsic spectral function of an electron…
It has been argued in a recent paper by R. Joynt (R. Joynt, Science 284, p 777 (1999)) that in the case of poorly conducting solids the photoemission spectrum close to the Fermi Energy may be strongly influenced by extrinsic loss processes…
The conditions behind the sudden approximation are critically examined. The fuzzy band expression is derived in detail from first principles. We go beyond the sudden approximation to account for both extrinsic losses and interference…
The interaction of a fast electron with a photonic crystal is investigated by solving the Maxwell equations exactly for the external field provided by the electron in the presence of the crystal. The energy loss is obtained from the…

Theory of electron emission by metallic photocathodes under the exposure of long wavelength lasers will be studied. Energy of photons in long wavelength lasers is less than the work function of the photocathode material, and can only emit…
Using valence band photoemission we have demonstrated the presence of a pseudogap in the near Fermi level electronic spectrum of some of the mixed phase compositions of Sm$_{1-x}$Ca$_x$MnO$_3$ system. The pseudogap was found to grow in size…
Many complex electronic systems exhibit so-called pseudogaps, which are poorly-understood suppression of low-energy spectral intensity in the absence of an obvious gap-inducing symmetry. Here we investigate the superconductor…
We design and analyze photo-metamaterials with each meta-atom containing both photodiode and light-emitting diode. Illumination of the photodiode by the light-emitting diode gives rise to an additional optical feedback within each unit…
We predict that superconducting particles will show an apparent increase in thickness at low temperatures when measured by electron holography. This will result not from a real thickness increase, rather from an increase in the mean inner…
Pseudogap formation is an ubiquitous phenomena in strongly-correlated superconductors, for example cuprates, heavy-fermion superconductors, and iron pnictides. As the system is cooled, an energy gap opens in the excitation spectrum before…
Pseudogap phase in superconductors continues to be an outstanding puzzle that differentiates unconventional superconductors from the conventional ones (BCS-superconductors). Employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy on a highly…
In time-resolved photoemission experiments, more than one electron can be emitted from the solid by a single ultra-short pulse. We theoretically demonstrate how correlations between the momenta of outgoing electrons relate to time-dependent…
