Abstract
The simultaneous ejection of two electrons from non-magnetic surfaces due to the collision of incident low-energy electrons with valence electrons is treated in a relativistic distorted-wave Born approximation including exchange. The primary electron and the two emitted electrons are described by quasi-particle multiple scattering states. The valence electron is represented by linear combinations of Bloch waves matched at the surface. Screened Coulomb interaction matrix elements between these four states are evaluated. Numerical results for W(0 0 1) are presented and compared with one-dimensional bulk densities of states. Energy-integrated spectra and general features of the 2 e-distribution are in good agreement with recent experimental data.
