The electronic structures of the nearly optimally doped single-layer, bilayer and trilayer Bi-based cuprates are investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. A lineshape analysis of data taken for different photon energies indicates that the interlayer coupling within the trilayer is not stronger than its counterpart in the bilayer system. This suggests that the higher T c of the trilayer cuprate superconductors is not due to an enhancement of the coupling strength between the neighboring CuO2 planes within each unit cell.

AbstractFlat band electronic states are proposed to be a fundamental tool to achieve various quantum states of matter at higher temperatures due to the enhanced electronic correlations. However, materials with such peculiar electronic states are rare and often rely on subtle properties of the band structures. Here, by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we show the emergent flat band in a VSe2 / Bi2Se3 heterostructure. Our photoemission study demonstrates that the flat band covers the entire Brillouin zone and exhibits 2D nature with a complex circular dichroism. In addition, the Dirac cone of Bi2Se3 is not reshaped by the flat band even though they overlap in proximity of the Dirac point. These features make this flat band distinguishable from the ones previously found. Thereby, the observation of a flat band in the VSe2 / Bi2Se3 heterostructure opens a promising pathway to realize strongly correlated quantum effects in topological materials.

In cuprate superconductors with high critical transition temperature (Tc), light hole-doping to the parent compound, which is an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator, has been predicted to lead to the formation of small Fermi pockets. These pockets, however, have not been observed. Here, we investigate the electronic structure of the five-layered Ba2Ca4Cu5O10(F,O)2, which has inner copper oxide (CuO2) planes with extremely low disorder, and find small Fermi pockets centered at (π/2, π/2) of the Brillouin zone by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and quantum oscillation measurements. The d-wave superconducting gap opens along the pocket, revealing the coexistence between superconductivity and antiferromagnetic ordering in the same CuO2 sheet. These data further indicate that superconductivity can occur without contribution from the antinodal region around (π, 0), which is shared by other competing excitations.

Adsorption of oxygen on α- Mo 2 C (0001) is investigated with Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) utilizing synchrotron radiation. It is found that C KLL Auger peak intensity does not change during O 2 exposure, indicating that the depletion of C atoms does not proceed. It is deduced from ARPES and LEED results that adsorbed oxygen atoms from a well-ordered (1 × 1) lattice on the α- Mo 2 C (0001) surface. The ARPES study shows that oxygen adsorption induces a peculiar state around Fermi level (E F ). Off-normal-emission measurements prove that the state is a half-filled metallic state.

The recently discovered topological quantum materials (TQMs) have electronic structures that can be characterized by certain topological invariants. In these novel materials, the unusual bulk and surface electrons not only give rise to many exotic physical phenomena but also foster potential new technological applications. To characterize the unusual electronic structures of these new materials, investigators have used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) as an effective experimental tool to directly visualize the unique bulk and surface electronic structures of TQMs. In this review, we first give a brief introduction of TQMs and ARPES, which is followed by examples of the application of ARPES to different TQMs ranging from topological insulators to Dirac and Weyl semimetals. We conclude with a brief perspective of the current development of ARPES and its potential application in the study of TQMs.

AbstractInterfacial electronic structures related to organic electroluminescent (EL) devices were studied by UV photoemission spectroscopy (UPS). The two classes of interfaces studied were: (1) interfaces in a typical multilayer device AI/AIq3TPD/ITO, where Alq3 is tris(8-hydroxyquinolino)- aluminum, TPD is N,N×-diphenyl-NN×-(3-methylphenyl)- 1, 1‘-biphenyl-4,4’-diamine, and ITO is indium tin oxide, and (2) TTN/metals and TCNQ/metals interfaces, where TTN is tetrathianaphthacene and TCNQ is tetracyanoquinodimethane. The UPS studies of the specimen formed by the successive deposition of TPD, Alq3, and Al on ITO revealed interfacial energy diagrams, with the vacuum level shift of - 0.25 eV (downward) and - 0.1 eV (downward) at the TPD / ITO and the Alq3 / TPD interfaces, respectively. The deposition of TTN and TCNQ on metals showed opposite direction of the shift of the vacuum level, with the positive and negative charge at the vacuum side. This can be explained by considering the chargetransfer between the metal and the organic molecule, with these directions being consistent with the electron donating and accepting ability of these molecules.

ABSTRACTThe materials and electronic properties of the new cuprate superconductors are critically dependent upon both the oxygen stoichiometry and annealing history of the material. Improving Jc, Tc, and determining the underlying mechanism of superconductivity depend on a better understanding of these effects. In the study of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8-δ we have combined standard material characterization techniques with high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and resonant photoemission spectroscopy to illuminate these issues. Specifically, we make high quality single crystals of BSCCO and then anneal in different atmospheres and pressures. We correlate this with c-axis resistivity, a, b-plane resistivity, and resonant photoemission spectroscopy. In this way we can explain the macroscopic transport properties in terms of the electronic properties of the material determined from photoemission. We find that we can change the c-axis resistivity from non-metallic to metallic by adding oxygen and that this correlates with increased oscillator strength in the c-axis direction at the Fermi level.
