SURFACE AND BULK PHOTOELECTRON DIFFRACTION FROM W(110) 4F CORE LEVELS

Energy- and angle-dependent photoelectron cross sections from surface and bulk W(110) 4f7/2 core levels are measured and compared with dynamical multiple scattering calculations. The agreement between experimental and theoretical results is found to be significantly better than corresponding previous studies, permitting a determination of the first layer atomic plane distance: d12 = 2.26 +/- 0.05 angstrom. Forward-scattering enhancements along bond directions are observed under selected scattering conditions. In all cases, final-state multiple scattering accounts for the principal energy and angle dependencies in the cross section. Typical variation of bulk and surface 4f photoelectron intensities with kinetic energy or emission angle resulting from final-state effects is observed to be a factor of 2. This result suggests that previous core-level spectra for stepped W(110) surfaces have been incorrectly interpreted.
