Angle-Resolved Pair Photoemission Theory for Correlated Electrons

ORAL

Abstract

In this talk I will consider the possibility and conditions for pair photoemission whereby two incident photons emit pairs of electrons from a candidate material as a novel method to measure and visualize electronic correlations. As opposed to ``double photoemission'' - where a single photon precipitates the ejection of a pair electrons via a subsequent electron energy loss scattering process - I will show that pair photoemission need not be limited to interference between initial photoelectrons and valence electrons, and moreover, can occur without the energy penalty of two work functions. This enables detection of pairs of electrons at high energy resolution that may be correlated in the same quantum many-body states.
