Abstract
Various technical developments extended the potential of angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) tremendously during the last twenty years. In particular improved momentum, energy and spin resolution as well as the use of photon energies from few eV up to several keV makes ARPES a rather unique tool to investigate the electronic properties of solids and surfaces. With our work we present a generalization of the state of the art description of the photoemission process, the so called one-step model that describes excitation, transport to the surface and escape into the vacuum in a coherent way. In particular, we present a theoretical description of temperature-dependent ARPES with a special emphasis on spin fluctuations. Finite temperature effects are included within the so called alloy analogy model which is based on the coherent potential approximation and this way allows to describe uncorrelated lattice vibrations in combination with spin fluctuations quantitatively on the same level of accuracy. To demonstrate the applicability of our approach a corresponding numerical analysis has been applied to spin- and angle-resolved photoemission of Fe(100) at finite temperatures.
