High-resolution MHz time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy based on a tunable vacuum ultraviolet source

Abstract: Time and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (trARPES) allows direct mapping of the electronic band structure and its dynamic response on femtosecond timescales. Here, we present a new ARPES system, powered by a new fiber-based femtosecond light source in the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range, accessing the complete first Brillouin zone for most materials. We present trARPES data on Au(111), polycrystalline Au, Bi2Se3 and TaTe2, demonstrating an energy resolution of 21 meV with a time resolution of <360 fs, at a high repetition rate of 1 MHz. The system is integrated with an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) high harmonic generation (HHG) beamline, enabling excellent tunability of the time-bandwidth resolution.
