Angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) is extensively used to characterize the dependence of the electronic structure of graphene on Ir(111) on the preparation process. ARPES findings reveal that temperature programmed growth alone or in combination with chemical vapor deposition leads to graphene displaying sharp electronic bands. The photoemission intensity of the Dirac cone is monitored as a function of the increasing graphene area. Electronic features of the moire superstructure present in the system, namely minigaps and replica bands are examined and used as robust features to evaluate graphene uniformity. The overall dispersion of the pi-band is analyzed. Finally, by the variation of photon energy, relative changes of the pi- and sigma-band intensities are demonstrated.

Epitaxial graphene on Ir(111) prepared in excellent structural quality is investigated by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. It clearly displays a Dirac cone with the Dirac point shifted only slightly above the Fermi level. The moire resultin g from the overlaid graphene and Ir(111) surface lattices imposes a superperiodic potential giving rise to Dirac cone replicas and the opening of minigaps in the band structure.

Electronic structures of single crystalline black phosphorus were studied by state-of-art angleresolved photoemission spectroscopy. Through high resolution photon energy dependence measurements, the band dispersions along out-of-plane and in-plane di rections are experimentally determined. The electrons were found to be more localized in the ab-plane than that is predicted in calculations. Beside the kz-dispersive bulk bands, resonant surface state is also observed in the momentum space. Our finds strongly suggest that more details need to be considered to fully understand the electronic properties of black phosphorus theoretically.
The rhenium-based transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are atypical of the TMD family due to their highly anisotropic crystalline structure and are recognized as promising materials for two dimensional heterostructure devices. The nature of the ba nd gap (direct or indirect) for bulk, few and single layer forms of ReS$_2$ is of particular interest, due to its comparatively weak inter-planar interaction. However, the degree of inter-layer interaction and the question of whether a transition from indirect to direct gap is observed on reducing thickness (as in other TMDs) are controversial. We present a direct determination of the valence band structure of bulk ReS$_2$ using high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). We find a clear in-plane anisotropy due to the presence of chains of Re atoms, with a strongly directional effective mass which is larger in the direction orthogonal to the Re chains (2.2 $m_e$) than along them (1.6 $m_e$), in good agreement with density functional theory calculations. An appreciable inter-plane interaction results in an experimentally-measured difference of ~100-200 meV between the valence band maxima at the Z point (0,0,1/2) and the $Gamma$ point (0,0,0) of the three-dimensional Brillouin zone. This leads to a direct gap at Z and a close-lying but larger gap at $Gamma$, implying that bulk ReS2 is marginally indirect. This may account for recent conflicting transport and photoluminescence measurements and the resulting uncertainty about the direct or indirect gap nature of this material.
We combined a spin-resolved photoemission spectrometer with a high-harmonic generation (HHG) laser source in order to perform spin-, time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (STARPES) experiments on the transition metal dichalcogenide bulk WTe$_2$, a possible Weyl type-II semimetal. Measurements at different femtosecond pump-probe delays and comparison with spin-resolved one-step photoemission calculations provide insight into the spin polarization of electrons above the Fermi level in the region where Weyl points of WTe$_2$ are expected. We observe a spin accumulation above the Weyl points region, that is consistent with a spin-selective bottleneck effect due to the presence of spin polarized cone-like electronic structure. Our results support the feasibility of STARPES with HHG, which despite being experimentally challenging provides a unique way to study spin dynamics in photoemission.
We have carried out detailed high resolution ARPES measurements and band structure calculations to study the electronic structure of CaMnSb$_{2}$. The observed Fermi surface mainly consists of one hole pocket around ${Gamma}$ point and one tiny hole pocket at Y point. Strong spectral weight accumulation along the ${Gamma}$-X direction is observed on the hole-like Fermi surface around ${Gamma}$ point, suggesting strong anisotropy of the density of states along the Fermi surface. The tiny hole pocket at Y point originates from an anisotropic Dirac-like band with the crossing point of the linear bands lying $sim$ 10 meV above the Fermi level. These observations are in a good agreement with the band structure calculations. In addition, we observe additional features along the ${Gamma}$-Y line that cannot be accounted for by the band structure calculations. Our results provide important information in understanding and exploration of novel properties in CaMnSb$_{2}$ and related materials.
