Abstract
A scaling law which was used to classify photoelectron angular distributions (PADs) is now extended to photoelectron kinetic energy spectra. Both a theoretical proof and an independent verification are presented. Considering PADs are of photoelectron momentum spectra, this extension really extends the scaling law to the entire energy-momentum spectra. The scaling law for photoelectron energy-momentum spectra applies to both directly ionized and rescattered photoelectrons. Re-scaling experimental input parameters without loosing the physical essence with this scaling law may ease the experimental conditions and reduce the material and the energy consumptions in the experiments.
