Lab-Based Hard X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer and Diffractometer for Probing Depth-Resolved Electronic Structure of Quantum Materials and Interfaces
Abstract
This DURIP was utilized to complete the construction of the multi-technique hard x-ray spectrometer and diffractometer with the purchase and installation of the wide-acceptance-angle electrostatic photoelectron analyzer (Scienta EW4000). The resulting system is the first laboratory-based low-temperature angle-resolved HAXPES instrument in the US and the most versatile laboratory-based system in the world. The system will have a direct positive impact on the active collaborative research between the PI (Gray) and several other researchers who are currently supported by the ARO grants (S. May - Drexel University and J. Rondinelli - Northwestern University). The completion of the proposed instrument will enable continuous and comprehensive in-house electronic-structure investigations of a wide variety of condensed-matter systems relevant to the current programs supported by the DoD. The impact of this instrument will be further enhanced through active cross-departmental and cross-institutional educational activities involving graduate and undergraduate students from Temple, Drexel, and Northwestern Universities via collaborations mentioned above.
