Modern Valence Band Photoemission Spectroscopy - A Legacy of W. E. Spicer and a Powerful Tool for Materials

   −a joint SSRL/ALS workshop

Wednesday, October 20, 2004
SLAC Research Office Bldg. 48, Redwood Room A/B, 8 am - 5 pm
Organizers: Ingolf Lindau, Piero Pianetta, Z.-X. Shen and Neville Smith

This workshop will combine a reflection on the history modern valence band photoemission spectroscopy, and a survey of the latest development in the field with emphasis on high resolution angle-resolved photoemission studies of novel materials. The latest advancements in both theory and experiment (including the planned photoemission beamline at SSRL) will be discussed.
