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:

Over the years, great efforts have been devoted in introducing a sizable and tunable band gap in graphene for its potential application in next�generation electronic devices. The primary challenge in modulating this gap has been the absence of a direct method for observing changes of the band gap in momentum space. In this study, advanced spatial� and angle�resolved photoemission spectroscopy technique is employed to directly visualize the gap formation in bilayer graphene, modulated by both displacement fields and moiré potentials. The application of displacement field via in situ electrostatic gating introduces a sizable and tunable electronic bandgap, proportional to the field strength up to 100 meV. Meanwhile, the moiré potential, induced by aligning the underlying hexagonal boron nitride substrate, extends the bandgap by ≈20 meV. Theoretical calculations effectively capture the experimental observations. This investigation provides a quantitative understanding of how these two mechanisms collaboratively modulate the band gap in bilayer graphene, offering valuable guidance for the design of graphene�based electronic devices.
