At three end stations at BESSY II with cutting-edge angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) instruments, we are able to study various electronic properties of quantum materials due to the versatile functions of our end stations. ARPES 1^3 station provides the highest energy resolution (~1 meV) at ultimately low sample temperatures (~1 K). ARPES 1^2 station allows for a broad...

We will discuss several experimental approaches of imaging the band structure by ARPES and spin-polarized ARPES. We will consider various energy ranges from x-rays [1] to 6 eV [2], and various materials, from bulk crystals [1] to ultrathin films [2] and exfoliated atomically-thin flakes [3]. We will discuss technical aspects such as the angular and energy resolution, depth sensitivity, and...

A high-temperature superconducting (HTS) undulator is under development at the Paul Scherrer Institut. This device equipped with HTS bulks is a novel technology to generate short period and high strength magnetic field. For medium-energy synchrotron storage rings, this is a promising option to increase tremendously the photon flux in hard X-ray domain. The experiment for a sample consisting of...

Mammalian Rhodopsin, a prototype of the largest druggable G Protein-Coupled Receptors family (GPCRs), is our light receptor for night vision. Upon photon absorption, its chromophore 11-cis retinal undergoes one of the fastest events in biology, which happens in the femtosecond range, the isomerization into the agonist form, all-trans retinal. We have developed a new crystal form of rho-dopsin,...

We recently developed nano-engineered, high Z compound semiconductors avalanche photodiodes and quantum-well detectors for ultra fast single photon detection in a wide wavelength. The availability of ultra fast photon detection is of paramount importance in all fields of science and technology. These detectors are based on quantum well technology in particular on GaAs/AlGaAs hetero-junctions...

The advancement of quantum technologies is expected to pave the way for practical Quantum Computing (QC). Practical QC should provide solutions to certain problems, superior to those offered by the classical computational paradigm. The QC field is [in development][1] but has not taken its final form yet. In an attempt to define requirements for its practical use, this research reviews the...

Ultrafast, ultra-low noise X-ray detectors based on Avalanche PhotoDiodes (APDs) are crucial elements in scientific contexts such as Synchrotron Radiation facilities and Free Electron Lasers. APDs have been traditionally based on silicon, a mature and solid technology with adequate performance up to the X-ray range. However, the advent of ultimate light sources set more stringent requirements...

The recently commissioned Extremely Brilliant Source (EBS) has substantially enhanced the nano probe capacities at the ESRF. Nano diffraction imaging has been boosted by these capacities to improve in spatial resolution reaching length scales relevant for a variety of materials that are candidates for quantum computing. As band structure properties in all semiconductors sensibly depend on...

Quantum materials exhibit unique physical phenomena, especially if grown in ultra-thin films or in heterostructures with other materials. We have built and operated a dedicated UHV facility where multiwavelength Pulsed Laser Deposition can synthesize quantum materials and directly deliver the atomic-layer controlled samples to an all-resolved photoemission apparatus (SP-ARPES) and to an...

Implementing all-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES, SpinPES, SPARPES) with temporal resolutions, in pump-probe mode, requires dedicated facilities capable to deliver ultrashort photon pulses (~100 fs) in the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) region with an adjustable repetition rate up to the MHz range to provide the necessary statistics while maintaining the photoexcitation density safely in...

The effect of pulse wavefront (WF) distortion ranges from change in the radiation deposition mechanism, to inability to reach diffraction limited foci, and limitations in spectral correlations between spectrometers. The effect goes well beyond 'bad quality' beam and may determine the capability and the scientific goal of the experiment altogether. At the same time, the technique used to...
