Phase coherence length and quantum interference patterns at step edges

arXiv:cond-mat/0410542 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.95.029701

Abstract

The accepted approximation used to describe quantum interference patterns at steps is shown to be incorrect. As a result, electron lifetimes determined using it are in error by a factor 2.
