High-resolution ARPES endstation for in-situ electronic structure investigations at SSRF

Abstract

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is one of the most powerful experimental techniques in condensed matter physics. Synchrotron ARPES, which uses photons with high flux and continuously tunable energy, has become particularly important. However, an excellent synchrotron ARPES system must have features such as a small beam spot, super-high energy resolution, and a user-friendly operation interface. A synchrotron beamline and an endstation (BL03U) were designed and constructed at the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility. The beam spot size at the sample position is 7.5 (V) $\mu$m $\times$ 67 (H) $\mu$m, and the fundamental photon range is 7-165 eV; the ARPES system enables photoemission with an energy resolution of 2.67 [email protected] eV. In addition, the ARPES system of this endstation is equipped with a six-axis cryogenic sample manipulator (the lowest temperature is 7 K) and is integrated with an oxide molecular beam epitaxy system and a scanning tunneling microscope, which can provide an advanced platform for in-situ characterization of the fine electronic structure of condensed matter.
