Recent progress in research on electronic and spin structures of solids and instrumentation on spin-resolved photoemission at Hiroshima Synchrotron Radiation Center are reported. The fine details of electron dynamics of a typical multiband superconductor Sr2RuO4 were uncovered by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) with tunable polarizations, and the surface of W(1 1 0) was found to have a Dirac-corn-like state of d character with nearly massless energy dispersion by high-resolution ARPES and spin-resolved ARPES (SARPES). The SARPES system with very low energy electron diffraction spin detector and modified VG-SCIENTA R4000 electron analyzer brought a breakthrough in spin detection efficiency as well as energy and angular resolution, and enables precise SARPES measurements for materials that require high energy and angular resolution.
► We report a quasiparticle’s dynamics of a typical multiband superconductor Sr2RuO4. ► We report the surface of W(1 1 0) showing a Dirac-corn-like state of d character. ► We report the new substantially high-efficiency spin-resolved photoemission system.
