Title

Visualization of Electronic Structures of Quantum Materials

Abstract

The discovery of materials with novel properties is one of the most captivating aspects of physics, playing a pivotal role in advancing science and improving human life.

The electronic structure of a material is critical information that determines its electrical, magnetic, and optical properties. A precise understanding of this information not only provides insights into the diverse properties and phenomena of quantum materials but also guides the design of their potential applications.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful technique for determining the electronic structures of materials. With its energy and momentum resolution, ARPES can directly visualize the dispersions of electronic bands in reciprocal space, providing critical parameters for understanding material behaviour.

In this talk, I will begin with a brief introduction to ARPES, including its basic principles and the wealth of information it offers. I will then highlight its application on the study of topological quantum materials, low-dimensional systems, and exotic superconductors. Finally, I will discuss recent advancements in ARPES technology and share perspectives on its future directions and applications.
