In the era of Quantum Technologies understanding and mapping electronic excitations has
proved to be instrumental to identify emerging properties of matter. Angle Resolved
Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) is a major tool to inspect the intricate playground
of charge-spin lattice interactions and how they affect the properties of the electronic
degrees of freedom.
The ARPES 2023 school aims to provide attendants with the essentials for the
understanding of photoelectron spectroscopies and their implementation to observe the
electronic band structure of solids and molecules. It is directed to both early-career
researchers and scientists willing to expand their knowledge on light – matter
interactions and how the use of the photoelectric effect to reveal some deep properties
of matter.
The ARPES school shall profit from the presence of Dr. Kyle Shen, on sabbatical leave
from Cornell University, at the MULFOX-ICMAB laboratory, who will deliver some
Introductory Lectures, followed by some more advanced and prospective applications of
ARPES.
This series of lectures will be held at ICMAB, and will be complemented with a visit to
the nearby ALBA Synchrotron light source, where school participants will get the
opportunity to discover the capabilities of this large research infrastructure and
attend running ARPES experiments at the LOREA beamline, under the guidance of its leader
scientist Dr. Massimo Tallarida.
The LOREA-ALBA beamline and the ARPES School will also organize the participation of some
school registered attendants to hands-on ARPES experiments during suitable beamtimes at
ALBA.
To attend the ARPES 2023 Severo Ochoa School participants should register as indicated.
The school will be hybrid: both in-person and online registrations are open.
