The magnitude of the spin polarization at the Fermi level of ferromagnetic materials at room temperature is a key property for spintronics. Investigating the Heusler compound Co$_2$MnSi a value of 93$%$ for the spin polarization has been observed at room temperature, where the high spin polarization is related to a stable surface resonance in the majority band extending deep into the bulk. In particular, we identified in our spectroscopical analysis that this surface resonance is embedded in the bulk continuum with a strong coupling to the majority bulk states. The resonance behaves very bulk-like, as it extends over the first six atomic layers of the corresponding (001)-surface. Our study includes experimental investigations, where the bulk electronic structure as well as surface-related features have been investigated using spin-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (SR-UPS) and for a larger probing depth spin-integrated high energy x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES). The results are interpreted in comparison with first-principles band structure and photoemission calculations which consider all relativistic, surface and high-energy effects properly.

Optical pumping of solids creates a non-equilibrium electronic structure where electrons and photons combine to form quasiparticles of dressed electronic states. The resulting shift of electronic levels is known as the optical Stark effect, visible a
s a red shift in the optical spectrum. Here we show that in a pump-probe setup we can uniquely define a non-equilibrium quasiparticle bandstructure that can be directly measurable with photo-electron spectroscopy. The dynamical photon-dressing (and undressing) of the many-body electronic states can be monitored by pump-probe time and angular resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (tr-ARPES) as the photon-dressed bandstructure evolves in time depending on the pump-probe pulse overlap. The computed tr-ARPES spectrum agrees perfectly with the quasi-energy spectrum of Floquet theory at maximum overlap and goes to the the equilibrium bandstructure as the pump-probe overlap goes to zero. Additionally, we show how this time-dependent non-equilibrium quasiparticle structure can be understood to be the bandstructure underlying the optical Stark effect. The extension to spin-resolved PES can be used to predict asymmetric dichroic response linked to the valley selective optical excitations in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs).
We utilized X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to investigate the crystal surface of Weyl semimetal NbAs. XPEEM images present white and black contrast in both the Nb 3d and As 3d core level spe
ctra. Surface-sensitive XPS spectra indicate that the entire surface of the sample contains both surface states of Nb 3d and As 3d, in form of oxides, and bulk states of NbAs. Estimated atomic percentage values nNb/nAs suggest that the surface is Nb-rich and asymmetric for white and black areas.
The electronic structure of the ferromagnetic superconductor URhGe in the paramagnetic phase has been studied by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy using soft x rays (hn=595-700 eV). Dispersive bands with large contributions from U 5f states w
ere observed in the ARPES spectra, and form Fermi surfaces. The band structure in the paramagnetic phase is partly explained by the band-structure calculation treating all U 5f electrons as being itinerant, suggesting that an itinerant description of U 5f states is a good starting point for this compound. On the other hand, there are qualitative disagreements especially in the band structure near the Fermi level (E_B < 0.5 eV). The experimentally observed bands are less dispersive than the calculation, and the shape of the Fermi surface is different from the calculation. The changes in spectral functions due to the ferromagnetic transition were observed in bands near the Fermi level, suggesting that the ferromagnetism in this compound has an itinerant origin.
The acoustic modes of diamond not only are of profound significance for studying its thermal conductivity, mechanical properties and optical properties, but also play a determined role in the performance of high-frequency and high-power acoustic wave
devices. Here we report the bulk acoustic waves (BAWs) and surface acoustic waves (SAWs) of single crystal diamond by using the angle-resolved Brillouin light scattering (BLS) spectroscopy. We identify two high-velocity surface skimming bulk waves, with sound velocities of 1.277x10^6 and 1.727x10^6 cm/s, respectively. Furthermore, we conduct the relationship among the refractive index, incident angle and the velocities of BAWs propagating along an arbitrary direction. Our results may provide a valuable reference for fundamental researches and devices engineering in the community of diamond-based acoustic study.
We report the evolution of magnetic moment as well as magnetic anisotropy with crystalline order in Co$_2$MnSi thin films grown on $(100)$ MgO by pulsed laser deposition. The films become more ordered as the annealing temperature ($T_A$) increases fr
om 400 to 600 $^0$C. The extent of emph{L}$2_1$ ordering in the films annealed at 600 $^0$C is $approx 96%$. The static magnetization measurements by vibrating sample magnetometry shows a maximum moment of 4.95 $mu_B$ per formula unit with low coercivity ($H_C$ $approx$ 65 Oe) in the films annealed at 600 $^0$C. A rigorous analysis of the azimuthal and polar angle dependent ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measured at several temperatures allows determination of various anisotropy fields relevant to our system as a function of $T_A$. Finally, we have evaluated the exchange stiffness constant down to 100 K using spin wave modes in FMR spectra. We have also estimated the exchange energies as well as stiffness constant by varying the lattice parameter emph{ab-initio} using the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method.
