Title: Bulk versus surface effects in normal photoemission from Cu(110) in the range 32 < or = h. nu. < or = 160 eV

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., B; (United States)

Synchrotron radiation in the 32-160-eV range was used to elucidate the role of bulk and surface effects in normal photoemission from the valence bands of a Cu(110) crystal. A dramatic resonance in the s-p band was observed for photon energies h..nu.. = 43-52 eV. We have used this resonance and the energy dependence of the spectra to study the role of surface-induced broadening of the momentum component perpendicular to the surface (k/sub perpendicular/). Our results strongly contradict previous interpretations of lower-energy studies in terms of a one-dimensional density of states along k/sub perpendicular/. We find that normal photoemission, applied over a sufficient energy range, can be used to map the initial-state bulk band structure.
