Abstract
Calculations of the screening shift and dynamical singularity index of the structureless core hole placed near and inside the metallic slab are presented, where the screening mechanism is described using the quantum-mechanical response function calculated in the local density approximation. Core-hole screening shifts show oscillations which are compared with the experimental results. Spatial dependence of the static singularity index, besides experimentally observed enhancement at the surface, shows some new features (bulk oscillations) which were not yet experimentally observed. The dynamical singularity index is used to calculate complete core hole spectrum, including singular line shapes and bulk and surface plasmon losses, and the results explain very well some observed features in the experimental photoemission spectra.
