Abstract

We discuss the application of the multiple scattering theory to obtain first-principles predictions of angle-resolved photoemission intensities (ARPES) in the high-Tc superconductors. In this connection, we have generalized and implemented the ‘one-step’ photoemission approach to treat systems with an arbitrary number of atoms in the layer unit cell. We illustrate the methodology with results for the r-S symmetry direction for the (001)-surface of orthorhombic YBa2Cu3O7. Our computations give insight into the effects of surface termination, and of polarization of incident light on photoemission intensities.
