Abstract

We have investigated the influence of optical properties of Cu(001) on the spin polarization inCu3pphotoelectron diffraction patterns. The refraction and absorption of light have been taken into account in the calculation of the dipole transition matrix element. Therefore, a general polarization vector of light is defined within a macroscopic theory of electromagnetic fields.Results are shown and discussed forCu3pphotoelectrons excited by linearly or circularly polarized light, respectively. It is shown that the optical behavior of crystals may cause a symmetry breaking in the angular dependence of the photoelectron intensity. Besides, there are strong quantitative changes in the related spin polarization ofCu3pphotoelectrons.
