THEMIS

The THEMIS time-of-flight spectrometer series complements the SPECS photoemissionspectrometer line with an instrument ideally suited for pulsed photon sources. The design of this state-of-the-art instrument is based on the renowned PHOIBOS spectrometer series. The extensively optimized electron lens with the proven 2D-DLD detector technology enables most flexible operation, with experiments ranging from extreme resolution spectroscopy to highest transmission snapshots.

  1. (2022) Electron pair emission from surfaces: Some general experimental considerations

    We discuss some experimental facets of electron pair emission from surfaces using two different experimental
    approaches. In the first case the instrument consists of a pair of hemispherical analyzers which are operated
    with continuous primary beams of electrons or photons. The second instrument employs a pair of time-of-flight
    spectrometers which require a pulsed excitation source. A key experimental quantity is the ratio of ‘true’ to
    ‘random’ coincidences which can be determined in different ways. Regardless of the type of instrument the
    primary flux has to adopt a much smaller value than in single electron spectroscopy. We describe different
    approaches to obtain the relevant count rates, in particular the concept of operating with a delayed coincidence
    circuit. We also address the question on how to compare the two types of spectrometer in terms of their
    performance.

  2. (2020) Laser-based double photoemission spectroscopy at surfaces

    The recent development of double photoemission (DPE) spectroscopy at surfaces using laserbased
    high-order harmonic generation in combination with time-of-flight electron spectroscopy
    is reviewed. Relevant experimental conditions including the solid angle for collecting photoelectron
    pairs, the energy and angular resolutions, as well as the repetition rate and the photon
    energy range of light sources are introduced. As examples, we provide an overview of laser-based
    DPE results on the noble metals Ag and Cu as well as transition metal oxides NiO and CoO. The
    DPE energy and angular distributions of photoelectron pairs are compared with emphasis on the
    possible indications of electron-electron interaction. Potential further developments including
    femtosecond time-resolved DPE experiments are outlined.

  3. (2014) Electron pair emission detected by time-of-flight spectrometers: Recent progress

    We present results for electron coincidence spectroscopy using two time-of-flight (ToF) spectrometers. Excited by electron impact, the energy and momentum distribution of electron pairs emitted from the Cu(111) surface are resolved and a spectral feature related to the Shockley surface state is identified. By combining the two ToF spectrometers with a high-order harmonic generation light source, we demonstrate double photoemission spectroscopy in the laboratory that required synchrotron radiation in the past. Utilizing this setup, we report results for (γ,2e) on NiO(001) on Ag(001) excited with light at 30 eV photon energy.
