BL7U(SAMRAI) Angle-Resolved Photoemission of Solids in the VUV Region
▼Description
Beamline 7U, named the Symmetry- And Momentum-Resolved electronic structure Analysis Instrument
(SAMRAI) for functional materials, was constructed to provide a photon flux with high energy resolution and
high flux mainly for high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, so-called “ARPES”, of solids
[1]. An APPLE-II-type variable-polarization undulator is installed as the light source. The undulator can produce
intense VUV light with horizontal/vertical linear and right/left circular polarization. The undulator light is
monochromatized by a modified Wadsworth type monochromator with three gratings (10 m radius; 1200, 2400,
and 3600 lines/mm optimized at hν = 10, 2 0, and 33 eV). The energy resolution of the light (hν/ Δhν) is more than
104 with a photon flux of 1011-1012 ph/s or higher on samples in the entire energy region. The beamline has a
photoemission end-station equipped with a 200 mm-radius hemispherical photoelectron analyzer (MB Scientific
AB, A-l analyzer) with a wide-angle electron lens and a liquid-helium-cooled cryostat with 6-axis pulse motor
control (AVC Co., Ltd., i-GONIO). The main function of the beamline is to determine the electronic structure of
solids and its temperature dependence in order to reveal the origin of their physical properties.

Fig. 1. SAMRAI beamline [(a), (b)] consisting of an APPLE-II type undulator (U7), a modified Wadsworth type monochromator (M0-S), and a high-resolution photoemission analyzer at the focal point. The monochromator has five major optical components: two plane mirrors (M0 and M1) with water cooling, one set of three spherical gratings (G), an exit slit (S), and one toroidal refocusing mirror (M3).
