40 Fourier Transform from Real Space to k-Space Real space k- space Nanostructures demand high k-resolution (small BZ). Easier to work in real space via STS. dI/dV at E F Fermi surface |  (r)| 2 |  (k)| 2 Philip Hofmann (Bi surface) Seamus Davis (Cuprates)

41 Are Photoemission and Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy Measuring the Same Quantity ? Photoemission essentially measures the Greens function G. Fourier transform STS involves G and T, which describes back-reflection from a defect. Defects are needed to see standing waves. How does the Bardeen tunneling formula relate to photoemission ?
