In situ positioning of a few hundred micrometer-sized cleaved surfaces for soft-x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by use of an optical microscope.
A method to position samples with small cleaved regions has been developed to be applied to the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) which uses soft-x-ray synchrotron radiation focused down to 160 x 180 microm(2). A long-working-distance optical microscope is used for the sample observation. A selected region on a sample can be optimally set at the position of measurements, which is realized by the spatial resolution of the photoelectron analyzer. Using this method, electronic band dispersions of bulk silicon have been measured by ARPES for a partially cleaved region with a size of approximately 200 x 500 microm(2).
