For extraction of the self-energy from the angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES) experiments for the cuprate superconductors, the momentum distribution curve(MDC) analysis is commonly used. There are two requirements for this method to work: the self-energy is momentum independent and the bare electron dispersion is known. Assuming that the first condition is satisfied in the cuprates, we checked the effects of the bare dispersion on the extracted self-energy. For this, we first generated the ARPES intensity using the tight-binding band of the B2212 by solving the Eliashberg equation. We then extracted the self-energy from the theoretically generated ARPES intensity using the linear and quadratic dispersions. By choosing the bare dispersion such that the Kramer-Kronig relation is best satisfied between the real and imaginary parts of the extracted self-energy, we confirmed that the quadratic dispersion is better for the bare electron band for Bi2212. The self-energy can be reasonably extracted from the ARPES experiments using the MDC analysis.

Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful technique which can directly visualize the electronic structure of solid in detail including many-body interaction information. However, ARPES has a certain limitation in applying control parameters such as doping or pressure, which helps to dig out the clue to understand the desired phenomena or the target system. During ARPES experiment, the control parameter is the temperature only. Other parameters especially electric- and magnetic- field cannot be applied. Recently introduced surface-electron doping technique highlights new avenue to overcome such limitation. In this article, starting from introducing basic concepts of ARPES and its current status, the power of new technique will be demonstrated when it is combined to ARPES by introducing recent results on iron based superconductors.

Band engineering of a nanowire is related to the question what is the minimum size of a nanowire-based device. At the subnanometer scale, there has been a long standing problem whether it is possible to both control an energy band of an isolated nanowire by a dopant and measure it using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This is because an extra atom in the subnanometer wire plays as a defect rather than a dopant and it is challenging to assemble isolated subnanometer wires into an array for an ARPES measurement. We demonstrate that only one of multiple metallic subnanometer wires canbe controlled electronically by a dopant maintaining the whole metallic bands of other wires, which was observed directly by ARPES. Here,the multiple metallic subnanometer wires were produced on a stepped Si(111) surface by a self-assembly method. The selective band engineering proves that the selectively-controlled metallic wire is nearly isolated electronically from other metallic wires and an electronic structure controlcan be realized down to subnanometer scale.

이 연구에서는 각분해 광전자 분광법(angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy: ARPES)을 시용하여 전하밀도파(chargedensity-wave: CDW)를 형성하는 물질인 $CeTe_2$의 전자구조를 연구하였다. $CeTe_2$의 ARPES 데이터에서는 분산적인 띠들이 분명하게 관찰되었다. $CeTe_2$의 일정에너지(constant energy: CE) 맵에서는 4중 대칭성(fourfold symmetry)이 관찰되었으며, 그 형태가 문헌에 있는 $CeTe_2$의 CE 맵과 유사하였다. 이러한 발견은 $CeTe_2$의 CDW 형성이 $2{\times}2$ 형태의 살창 변형에 의한 것임과 4f 전자들이 $CeTe_2$의 CDW 형성에 별다른 기여를 하지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 이 연구로부터 $CeTe_2$에서 페르미 준위 근처의 전자들은 주로 Te(1) 5p와 Ce 5d 전자들이며 Te(1) 5p 전자들에 의한 띠가 CDW 형성에 기여하고 Ce 5d 전자들에 의한 띠는 CDW 상태에서도 페르미 준위를 가로지르는 금속성을 나타낸다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Chalcogenide and oxide heterostructures have been studied as a next-generation electronic materials, due to their interesting electronic properties, such as direct bandgap semiconductor, ferroelectricity, ferromagnetism, superconductivity, charge-density waves, and metal-insulator transition, and their modification near heterointerfaces, so called, electronic reconstruction. An angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful technique to unveil such novel electronic phases in detail, especially combined with high quality thin film preparation methods, such as, molecular beam epitaxy and pulsed laser deposition. In this article, the recent ARPES results in chalcogenide and oxide thin films will be introduced.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful tool to investigate the electronic structure of a single-crystalline solid. After the development of a two-dimensional electron detector, it became a basic experimental method in solid state physics comparable to other powerful tools such as x-ray and neutron scatterings. In this tutorial, I talk briefly on the basic principle of ARPES and its recent and future direction of development.

In this review paper, I'd like to introduce the basics of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and some of my results taken at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory (PAL), the only synchrotron radiation in South Korea. The results show that ARPES is very useful, in particular, for studying two-dimensional materials. It looks like a microscope in momentum space similar to transmission electron microscope imaging atoms in real space.

We performed angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) studies on Ru doped $BaFe_2As_2$ with various Ru contents. Ru, which is doped into a parent compound $BaFe_2As_2$ and substitute Fe, does not donate or accept electrons. However, it induces superconductivity. From ARPES data along the high symmetry cuts and Fermi surface maps, we investigate the electron correlation and carrier density at the Fermi level. We observe that the Fermi velocity increases with Ru doping, suggesting reduction in electron correlation. In addition, we address issues on local vs. itinerant pictures for the magnetism in $BaFe_2As_2$.

Recently, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers have been the subject of research exploring the physical phenomenon generated by low dimensionality and high symmetry. One of the keys to understanding new physical observations is the electronic band structure of 2D TMDCs. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) is, to this point, the best technique for obtaining information on the electronic structure of 2D TMDCs. However, through ARPES research, obtaining the long-range well-ordered single crystal samples always proves a challenging and obstacle presenting issue, which has been limiting towards measuring the electronic band structures of samples. This is particularly true in general 2D TMDCs cases. Here, we introduce the approach, with a mathematical framework, to overcome such ARPES limitations by employing the high level of symmetry of 2D TMDCs. Their high symmetry enables measurement of the clear and sharp electronic band dispersion, which is dominated by the band dispersion of single-crystal TMDCs along the two high symmetry directions Γ-K and Γ-M. In addition, we present two important studies and observations for the direct measuring of the exciton binding energy and charge transfer of 2D TMDCs, both being established by the above novel approach.
