Spin- and angle-resolved photoemission on topological materials

Abstract

A historical review of spin- and angle-resolved photoemission on topological materials is presented, aimed at readers who are new to the field or who wish to obtain an overview of the activities in the field. The main focus lies on topological insulators, but also Weyl and other semimetals will be discussed. Further it will be explained why the measured spin polarisation from a spin polarised state should always add up to 100% and how spin interference effects influence the measured spin texture.
