Resonance Photoelectron Spectroscopy Using a Laboratory-Based Laser Plasma Light Source
Abstract
We present the first ever resonance/anti-resonance photoemission data taken outside of a synchrotron radiation facility. The data were taken with our laser plasma light source at the resonance/anti-resonance energies (98/92 eV) for uranium and (120/112 eV) plutonium. The laser plasma light source extends over an energy range of 30-200 eV with a resolving power of 1000 at best resolution and count rates in the 100's of counts per second for favorable materials. We present PES resonance photoemission results for U and Pu compounds. The Pu compound resonance photoemission is the first ever resonance data on a transuranic compound. Sharp structures in the vicinity of the Fermi level indicate narrow bands dominating the 5f electronic structure for these materials.
