The ever expanding photoemission toolbox
From its origins as a curious illustration of the photo-electric effect (Einstein, ca. 1905) and later as a tool for chemical analysis (Siegbahn, ca. 1967), photoemission spectroscopy has more recently developed into a very versatile tool for solid state physics. A continually improving understanding, paralleled by continually improving instrumentation is both increasing the prominence of photoemission, and broadening its relevance.
In this talk, I will use our recent research to illustrate a broad range of photoemission-based techniques:
1. The role of XPS and resonant XPS in understanding materials as diverse as graphene, chemotherapy drugs [1] and intermediate band photovoltaics.
2. ARPES as a tool for understanding surface and non-surface localised confined states for organic electronics and quantum computation applications [2].
3. Spin-resolved ARPES for a fundamental understanding of topological insulators and spin-orbit coupled systems [3,4].
4. Engineering novel confined systems using photoemission microscopy, and
5. Creating and understanding novel phonon interactions through a combination of ARPES, many-body simulations and transport measurements [5,6].

Abstract
From its origins as a curious illustration of the photo-electric effect (Einstein, ca. 1905) and later as a tool for chemical analysis (Siegbahn, ca. 1967), photoemission spectroscopy has more recently developed into a very versatile tool for solid state physics. A continually improving understanding, paralleled by continually improving instrumentation is both increasing the prominence of photoemission, and broadening its relevance.
In this talk, I will use our recent research to illustrate a broad range of photoemission-based techniques:
1. The role of XPS and resonant XPS in understanding materials as diverse as graphene, chemotherapy drugs [1] and intermediate band photovoltaics.
2. ARPES as a tool for understanding surface and non-surface localised confined states for organic electronics and quantum computation applications [2].
3. Spin-resolved ARPES for a fundamental understanding of topological insulators and spin-orbit coupled systems [3,4].
