Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of combining ultrafast phenomena with condensed matter physics, and specifically relates to an angle-resolved photoelectron energy spectrum device and a measurement method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A major challenge in current condensed matter physics is how to understand the physical mechanisms that determine the important properties of complex materials, and use the physical understanding of these existing materials to provide important guidance for finding new materials. Of particular interest are quantum materials, that is, materials that cannot be described by single-electron band structures, such as strongly correlated systems, low-dimensional nanomaterials, topological insulators, valley electrons, heavy fermions, charge density wave materials, etc. These materials have novel physical properties, such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance, which have broad application prospects. However, since the degrees of freedom such as lattice, charge, spin and orbit in these systems are closely related, how to separate the role of each degree of freedom and find the physical laws that play a decisive role has become a major challenge in today's physics and materials science.
[0003] Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) is the most intuitive means to study the band structure of materials. After 20 years of continuous development, its momentum and energy resolution has been continuously improved, providing the most powerful means for people to explore some very important physical phenomena in high-temperature superconductors. By measuring the kinetic energy and momentum of photoelectrons generated by the photoelectric effect with ultra-high resolution, people can obtain the kinetic energy and momentum information of excitons inside solids. In the study of copper oxide high-temperature superconductors, ARPES plays a key role in revealing the symmetry of the superconducting energy gap, the pseudogap of the non-superconducting state, and the electron-phonon interaction. However, due to the close correlation of various elementary excitations in quantum material systems, how to separate the key factors that determine the physical properties is still a severe scientific challenge. Extending ARPES to the ultrafast time scale (10-15 seconds to femtoseconds, or even attoseconds 10-18 seconds) will enable technicians in this field to further detect the dynamic information of electrons, and is expected to separate various excitations on different time scales, providing a new window for studying these quantum materials. The ultrafast time-resolved angle-resolved photoelectron spectrometer can take a "movie" of the electron energy spectrum during the phase transition process, obtain multi-dimensional information such as energy, momentum and time of electrons in different momentum spaces, and directly reveal the formation process of superconducting electron Cooper pairs. This information will provide important information for revealing the insulator-superconductor phase transition in the material, and provide a direct experimental basis for ultimately solving the high-temperature superconductivity mechanism.
[0004] By using the high-order harmonics (HHG) generated by the interaction between ultrashort intense laser pulses and inert gases, a coherent EUV light source can be obtained, whose photon energy ranges from 20 to 100 eV and whose pulse width can range from tens of femtoseconds to tens of attoseconds, making it an ideal tool for measuring and regulating extremely ultrafast processes such as electron dynamics behavior. By combining a high-order harmonic source with an angle-resolved electron spectrometer with momentum and energy resolution capabilities, the ultrafast time-resolved ARPES measurement technology can be realized, which can obtain the ability to measure the dynamic information of the kinetic energy and momentum of excitons inside solids, and through the time-resolved measurement of some band structures around the Fermi level in the strongly correlated system materials that people are concerned about, an in-depth study of superconducting phenomena can be achieved.
[0005] Although with the increasing maturity of ARPES technology, its energy resolution can be less than 1meV, the time-resolved ARPES system developed in combination with ultrashort pulse lasers cannot achieve high energy resolution and time resolution at the same time. This is because high energy resolution requires a narrow linewidth laser, and the pulse width corresponding to a narrow linewidth laser is very long. As a compromise, a pulse width of about 100fs and an energy resolution of about 100meV can be achieved on a time-resolved ARPES system. Another factor that restricts energy resolution is the space charge effect. Since the energy of photons in the EUV band is very high, it is easy to produce a space charge effect when the laser interacts with the sample. To this end, the intensity of the laser must be reduced. The best way is to increase the repetition frequency to reduce the energy of a single pulse. It is generally believed that a repetition frequency of more than 100kHz is more appropriate.
[0006] There are two types of analyzers in the ARPES system: one is a hemispherical energy analyzer, and the other is an energy analyzer based on time-of-light (TOF). The hemispherical analyzer uses a slit for selective filtering and can only detect photoelectrons with characteristic flight directions that pass through the slit. Therefore, one measurement can only detect one line in the two-dimensional momentum space. To measure a complete Fermi surface, it is necessary to continuously rotate the sample angle or the electric field deflection for multiple measurements, and then interpolate the measurement results to obtain a complete three-dimensional energy-momentum spectrum. This has a very low acquisition efficiency, takes a long time to collect data, and cannot guarantee that the sample state and the photoelectron emission position remain unchanged during the measurement process, and whether they are consistent with the state of the laser. The shape of the sample Fermi surface obtained by the interpolation method may be different from the actual shape, especially when there are many Fermi bands. In addition, since the hemispherical analyzer does not directly measure the electronic signal, it requires a strong laser power. When the laser power is high, due to nonlinear effects and space charge effects, the obtained electronic signal intensity and the number of photoelectrons show a nonlinear growth trend, which affects the reliability of the data. The TOF energy analyzer detects the energy and angle information of electrons through the flight time of photoelectrons and delay line detectors. Since there is no slit, it can simultaneously detect a plane in momentum space to directly obtain a three-dimensional EK spectrum. Since the sample angle does not need to be changed, the accuracy of the data is improved, and the data collection efficiency is also improved. In addition, due to the reduction of the required laser power threshold and direct detection of photoelectrons, the detection efficiency and linearity are greatly improved, which is very suitable for combining with high repetition rate and low energy ultrashort pulse lasers to achieve time-resolved ARPES.
[0007] However, there is no device that combines the hemispherical analyzer and the TOF analyzer. Combining the two in one device will give full play to their respective advantages and be more conducive to achieving high time resolution and high energy resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy measurements, and applying them to the measurement of the electronic energy level structure dynamics of condensed matter. Summary of the invention

[0125] The high-order harmonic module includes: a high-order harmonic generating vacuum chamber 2, a high-order harmonic switching vacuum chamber 3, a monochromator vacuum chamber 4, a slit 5, and a high-order harmonic light spot and energy measurement vacuum chamber 6, which are arranged in sequence according to the laser propagation direction; the laser module 1, the high-order harmonic generating vacuum chamber 2, the high-order harmonic switching vacuum chamber 3, the monochromator vacuum chamber 4, the slit 5, the high-order harmonic light spot and energy measurement vacuum chamber 6 are arranged on the same horizontal axis.
[0126] In the high-order harmonic generation vacuum chamber 2, the incident high-power femtosecond laser is focused into the gas target by a concave reflector after mode matching, and interacts with the inert gas target to generate high-order harmonics in the extreme ultraviolet band. Specifically:
[0127] The femtosecond laser generated by the laser module is focused onto the gas target 14 by the concave reflector 16 after mode matching. The gas target sprays inert gas and interacts with the femtosecond laser to generate high-order harmonics in the extreme ultraviolet band, which enter the high-order harmonic switching vacuum cavity after passing through the high-order harmonic generating cavity reflector.

An ultraviolet band reflector is installed on the ultraviolet band electric translation stage. The ultraviolet band reflector is inserted into the optical path, and the high-order harmonic beam line can be introduced into the spectrometer 13 for spectral distribution measurement.

The dispersed light spots are spatially separated according to the wavelength. After being collimated by the second monochromator tire mirror 21, a single-order narrow-band spectrum is extracted by the slit and enters the high-order harmonic light spot and the energy measurement vacuum chamber.
