Evidence for a Spin Acoustic Surface Plasmon from Inelastic Atom Scattering
(Nature, 2021-01-15)
Closed-shell atoms scattered from a metal surface exchange energy and momentum with surface phonons mostly via the interposed surface valence electrons, i.e., via the creation of virtual electron-hole pairs. The latter can ...
Role of occupied d states in the relaxation of hot electrons in Au
(American Physical Society, 2000-07-15)
We present first-principles calculations of electron-electron scattering rates of low-energy electrons in Au. Our full band-structure calculations indicate that a major contribution from occupied d states participating in ...
First-principles calculations of hot-electron lifetimes in metals
(American Physical Society, 2000)
First-principles calculations' of the inelastic lifetime of low-energy electrons in Al, Mg, Be, and Cu are reported. Quasiparticle damping rates are evaluated from the: knowledge of the electron self-energy, which we compute ...
Role of occupied d bands in the dynamics of excited electrons and holes in Ag
(American Physical Society, 2003)
The role that occupied d bands play in the inelastic lifetime of bulk and surface states in Ag is investigated from the knowledge of the quasiparticle self-energy. In the case of bulk electrons, sp bands are taken to be ...
