Abstract
By using a photoelectron emission microscope (PEEM) we commonly look at strongly magnified images of a sample's surface in real space. Likewise, a momentum microscope utilizes the principles of electron microscopy to form a high resolution image of the distribution of electronic states in reciprocal (i.e., momentum-) space [1]. Such two- dimensional (kx,ky) maps of the photoelectron distribution represent sections through the valence electronic states in the full surface Brillouin zone, and give a comprehensive and intuitive access to the electronic properties of a material. Together with advanced time-of- flight (ToF) detection schemes the full band information becomes available within minutes.
Of particular importance is the spin of the electron, that gives rise to phenomena like ferromagnetism, superconductivity, spin-polarized surface states, and recently, the discovery of new material classes with complex spin textures like topological insulators. With the introduction of imaging spin analyzers [2] the efficiency of spin-resolved measurements experienced a tremendous boost, such that the electron spin now becomes routinely accessible in a photoemission experiment.
We will discuss applications and prospects, including spin-textures of topological materials [3], spin-orbit- and exchange-interaction in ferromagnets [4], and rapid band structure mapping by multi-MHz ToF momentum microscopy [5]. The results pave the way to comprehensive 3D band mapping with complete wave-vector-, spin-, and time-resolution at next generation light sources.
