Properties of electron self-energies and their role in electron spectroscopies

Hedin, Lars LU (1991) In Nuclear Instruments & Methods in Physics Research. Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors, and Associated Equipment A308(1-2). p.169-177
Abstract
The GW approximation for the self-energy connected with the one-electron Green's function has been very successful in predicting band structures for a large class of semiconductors and insulators. The physical basis for this approximation and general features of its nonlocality are discussed, as well as possible improvements. Besides quasiparticle energies the self-energy also gives the intrinsic part of the photoelectron spectrum. In general, however, a full description of experimental spectra measured with synchrotron radiation, such as photoemission, Auger spectra and EXAFS, cannot be given by the one-electron Green's function. A new theoretical approach to synchrotron radiation spectroscopies is given in terms of the coupling functions... (More)
