Title: X-ray photoemission spectroscopy in the Falicov-Kimball model

Abstract

We calculate the finite temperature x-ray photoemission spectroscopy for the Falicov-Kimball model using a Wiener-Hopf sum equation approach. In the metallic state, the core-hole spectral function shows two side peaks corresponding to the creation of a core hole on an empty site (or a doubly occupied site) and also has two nearly degenerate central peaks (because of our choice of the model parameters) corresponding to the creation of a core hole on a singly occupied site. The nearly doubly degenerate central peaks merge into a single peak at higher temperatures. In the insulating state, we obtain two peaks and a strongly temperature dependent low-energy peak corresponding to the creation of a core hole on a thermally excited empty site. Furthermore, these results for the insulating state should be similar to those of the more general Hubbard model. Also, the strong correlations suggest that even without any additional broadening due to Auger-like processes, the core-hole lifetime will be short.
