where R(ω) is a Gaussian function4 . In the case for a constant spectral DOS <strong>of</strong> A(ω) =<br />

A, Eq. (2.17) reduces to<br />

�<br />

Pobs(ω) ∝ A f(ω1)R(ω − ω1)dω1<br />

and division <strong>of</strong> the observed photoemission spectra by the FD function convoluted with<br />

the instrumental resolution gives the spectral DOS [2.6].<br />

Figure 2.2: Top: Calculated B p partial DOS <strong>of</strong> YbB12 (solid curve) [2.7] with the same<br />

DOS convoluted with the 7 meV Gaussian (dashed curve). Middle: <strong>Photoemission</strong><br />

spectra for the DOS in the top panel at 6 K, 75 K, and 305 K. Bottom: Spectral DOS<br />

deduced from the spectra in the middle panel.<br />

To show the validity <strong>of</strong> such a division for a spectral DOS with structures, we have<br />

applied that process to the calculated DOS <strong>of</strong> YbB12 [2.7]. The top panel <strong>of</strong> Fig. 2.2<br />

4 Fourier transformation for the convolution <strong>of</strong> two functions yields the product <strong>of</strong> the two functions.<br />

Shin et al. [2.5] eliminated the effect <strong>of</strong> the instrumental resolution by such transformation.
