Part of the book series: Physics and Chemistry of Materials with Low-Dimensional Structures ((PCMALS,volume 24))

Abstract

The unoccupied bandstructure E(k) above the vacuum level describes the final state bands relevant for photoemission. For layered materials this E(k) includes significant non-free-electron effects due to strong modulation of the crystal potential perpendicular to the layers. The most direct experimental method to probe the unoccupied E(k) with k-resolution is Very-Low-Energy Electron Diffraction. The experimentally determined unoccupied bands, which incorporate the effects of the crystal potential and the excited-state self-energy, can then be used as the true final bands in photoemission spectroscopy to achieve absolute determination of the valence band electronic structure with the three-dimensional k fully resolved.
