Condensed Matter Seminars

The transition of many materials of interest for the condensed matter community, particularly in energy-related applications, from crystalline materials to heterostructures and complex architectures, where different compounds are combined, stacked, interfaced and twisted in different ways, has forced the experimental techniques to evolve accordingly. Angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES), which has been for decades a spectroscopy of reference for accessing the low energy excitations in solids, had to implement a number of updates to keep pace with the progress made in materials fabrication. This talk will discuss some of the latest trends in ARPES, how it has advanced and to where it is moving in order to remain an invaluable tool for studying the electronic properties of materials.
