A VUV sub-micron hotspot for photoemission spectroscopy

Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lasers have exhibited great potential as the light source for various spectroscopies, which, if they can be focused into a smaller beam spot, will not only allow investigation of mesoscopic materials but also find applications in manufacture of nano-objects with excellent precision. Towards this goal, scientists in China invented a 177 nm VUV laser system that can achieve a record-small (<1 μm) focal spot at a long focal length (~45 mm). This system can be re-equipped for usage in low-cost ARPES and might benefit quantum materials, condensed matter physics and nanophotonics.

Abstract:

Weyl semimetals are crystalline solids that host emergent relativistic Weyl fermions and have characteristic surface Fermi-arcs in their electronic structure. Weyl semimetals with broken time reversal symmetry are difficult to identify unambiguously. In this work, using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we visualized the electronic structure of the ferromagnetic crystal Co3Sn2S2 and discovered its characteristic surface Fermi-arcs and linear bulk band dispersions across the Weyl points. These results establish Co3Sn2S2 as a magnetic Weyl semimetal that may serve as a platform for realizing phenomena such as chiral magnetic effects, unusually large anomalous Hall effect and quantum anomalous Hall effect.
