The valence electronic states of Fe 3 O 4(111) films on Pt(111) were studied using temperature-dependent spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with synchrotron radiation. The majority- and minority-spin partial density of states (DOS) has been obtained at 300 K and 100 K, above and below the Verwey transition temperature (TV ~ 120 K ). The spectra still show substantial k-dependence at 100 K in the 3d region. This provides the most direct experimental evidence that the 3d electrons are itinerant even at T < TV.

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.

A system for angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of small single crystals with sizes down to 100 µm has been developed. Soft X-ray synchrotron radiation with a spot size of ∼40 µm × 65 µm at the sample position is used for the excitation. Using this system an ARPES measurement has been performed on a Si crystal of size 120 µm × 100 µm × 80 µm. The crystal was properly oriented on a sample stage by measuring the Laue spots. The crystal was cleavedin situwith a microcleaver at 100 K. The cleaved surface was adjusted to the beam spot using an optical microscope. Consequently, clear band dispersions along the Γ–Xdirection reflecting the bulk electronic states were observed with a photon energy of 879 eV.

The vacuum ultraviolet beamline BL03U with a photon energy range from 7 eV upwards has been constructed at the 3.5 GeV Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. Equipped with an APPLE-Knot undulator, this beamline is dedicated to angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. An energy-resolving power of higher than 4.6 × 104 has been achieved in the photon energy range 21.6–48 eV, which is almost the same as the theoretical estimation.

AbstractThe spin resolved electronic structure of ultra-thin Fe films on Cu(100) was investigated using spin polarized angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. All exchange splitting of the Fe ∆s band of 2.5 eV is observed for photon energies between 20 and 30 eV. ∆ peak at 6 eV binding energy which has been previously identified as a many-electron resonance was observed only after contamination of the films with oxygen. In addition, the spin dependent attenuation lengths for electrons in Fe were measured at 11, 19, and 40 eV above Ef. The attenuation length for the minority spin electrons was found to be shorter than that of the majority spin electrons. The difference between the two attenuation lengths was shown to increase at low energy. Short attenuation lengths of ≃3 monolayer were measured at II eV. The large increase of the attenuation length at low energy which is expected from the “universal curve” is not observed in Fe.
