Soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission has been performed for metallic V2O3. By combining a microfocus beam (40 µm × 65 µm) and micro-positioning techniques with a long-working-distance microscope, it has been possible to observe band dispersions from tiny cleavage surfaces with a typical size of several tens of µm. The photoemission spectra show a clear position dependence, reflecting the morphology of the cleaved sample surface. By selecting high-quality flat regions on the sample surface, it has been possible to perform band mapping using both photon-energy and polar-angle dependences, opening the door to three-dimensional angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy for typical three-dimensional correlated materials where large cleavage planes are rarely obtained.

1. Introduction

Soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a powerful tool for investigating Fermi surfaces and band dispersions covering the whole Brillouin zone by varying the incident photon energy and the emission angle (Sekiyama et al., 2004a[Sekiyama, A., Kasai, S., Tsunekawa, M., Ishida, Y., Sing, M., Irizawa, A., Yamasaki, A., Imada, S., Muro, T., Saitoh, Y., Onuki, Y., Kimura, T., Tokura, Y. & Suga, S. (2004a). Phys. Rev. B, 70, 060506R.]; Yokoya et al., 2005[Yokoya, T., Nakamura, T., Matsushita, T., Muro, T., Takano, Y., Nagao, M., Takenouchi, T., Kawarada, H. & Oguchi, T. (2005). Nature (London), 438, 647-650.]; Yano et al., 2007[Yano, M., Sekiyama, A., Fujiwara, H., Saita, T., Imada, S., Muro, T., Onuki, Y. & Suga, S. (2007). Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 036405.]). Thanks to the high kinetic energy of the photoelectron, it is known that the probing depth of soft X-ray ARPES is longer than that of conventional VUV measurements (Tanuma et al., 1987[Tanuma, A., Powell, C. J. & Penn, D. R. (1987). Surf. Sci. 192, L849.]). Therefore it is a suitable probe for the electronic states of buried interfaces (Berner et al., 2013[Berner, G., Sing, M., Fujiwara, H., Yasui, A., Saitoh, Y., Yamasaki, A., Nishitani, Y., Sekiyama, A., Pavlenko, N., Kopp, T., Richter, C., Mannhart, J., Suga, S. & Claessen, R. (2013). Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 247601.]; Cancellieri et al., 2014[Cancellieri, C., Reinle-Schmitt, M. L., Kobayashi, M., Strocov, V. N., Willmott, P. R., Fontaine, D., Ghosez, Ph., Filippetti, A., Delugas, P. & Fiorentini, V. (2014). Phys. Rev. B, 89, 121412.]) and capped diluted magnetic semiconductors (Kobayashi et al., 2014[Kobayashi, M., Muneta, I., Takeda, Y., Harada, Y., Fujimori, A., Krempaský, J., Schmitt, T., Ohya, S., Tanaka, M., Oshima, M. & Strocov, V. N. (2014). Phys. Rev. B, 89, 205204.]). As a result of recent instrumental advances, it is also a promising technique for revealing the three-dimensional band structure of the bulk electronic states of strongly correlated oxides (Strocov et al., 2014[Strocov, V. N., Kobayashi, M., Wang, X., Lev, L. L., Krempaský, J., Rogalev, V. V., Schmitt, T., Cancellieri, C. & Reinle-Schmitt, M. L. (2014). Synchrotron Radiat. News, 27, 31.]), which are often different from that of the surface (Sekiyama et al., 2004b[Sekiyama, A., Fujiwara, H., Imada, S., Suga, S., Eisaki, H., Uchida, S. I., Takegahara K., Harima, H., Saitoh, Y., Nekrasov, I. A., Keller, G., Kondakov, D. E., Kozhevnikov, A. V., Pruschke, Th., Held, K., Vollhardt, D. & Anisimov, V. I. (2004b). Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 156402.]). In particular, it has been reported that the valence-band photoemission spectra of strongly correlated vanadium oxide V2O3 show a very drastic development of prominent peak structure near the Fermi level (EF) with increasing photon energy (Mo et al., 2003[Mo, S.-K. et al. (2003). Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 186403.]; Fujiwara et al., 2011[Fujiwara, H., Sekiyama, A., Mo, S.-K., Allen, J. W., Yamaguchi, J., Funabashi, G., Imada, S., Metcalf, P., Higashiya, A., Yabashi, M., Tamasaku, K., Ishikawa, T. & Suga, S. (2011). Phys. Rev. B, 84, 075117.]), and thus high-energy photoemission is essential.

V2O3 shows a first-order transition at ∼155 K from a high-temperature paramagnetic metal (PM) phase to a low-temperature antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) phase, accompanied by a structural change from the corundum phase to the monoclinic phase. This metal–insulator transition (MIT) has been discussed as a paradigmatic example of the Mott–Hubbard MIT (Imada et al., 1998[Imada, M., Fujimori, A. & Tokura, Y. (1998). Rev. Mod. Phys. 70, 1039-1263.]), which is characterized by the ratio between the on-site Coulomb repulsive energy U and one-electron bandwidth W. However, the local density approximation (LDA) bandwidth W with fixed U cannot fully explain the MIT (Mo et al., 2003[Mo, S.-K. et al. (2003). Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 186403.]), and the recent hard X-ray photoemission reveals that U does not change in the MIT. Polarized X-ray absorption spectroscopy has shown that the orbital population changes across the MIT (Park et al., 2000[Park, J.-H., Tjeng, L. H., Tanaka, A., Allen, J. W., Chen, C. T., Metcalf, P., Honig, J. M., de Groot, F. M. F. & Sawatzky, G. A. (2000). Phys. Rev. B, 61, 11506-11509.]; Hansmann et al., 2012[Hansmann, P., Haverkort, M. W., Toschi, A., Sangiovanni, G., Rodolakis, F., Rueff, J. P., Marsi, M. & Held, K. (2012). Phys. Rev. B, 85, 115136.]). Thus, one needs new theoretical concepts such as the orbital-selective MIT picture where the orbital degrees of freedom play an important role in the MIT (Laad et al., 2006[Laad, M. S., Craco, L. & Müller-Hartmann, E. (2006). Phys. Rev. B, 73, 045109.]; Poteryaev et al., 2007[Poteryaev, A. I., Tomczak, J. M., Biermann, S., Georges, A., Lichtenstein, A. I., Rubtsov, A. N., Saha-Dasgupta, T. & Andersen, O. K. (2007). Phys. Rev. B, 76, 085127.]).

To reveal the driving mechanism of the MIT from the experimental side, it is essential to experimentally determine the band structure and Fermi surface topology of V2O3 for direct comparison with modern theories based on realistic models. Nevertheless, only a few works (Smith & Henrich, 1988[Smith, K. E. & Henrich, V. E. (1988). Phys. Rev. B, 38, 5965-5975.]; Rodolakis et al., 2009[Rodolakis, F., Mansart, B., Papalazarou, E., Gorovikov, S., Vilmercati, P., Petaccia, L., Goldoni, A., Rueff, J. P., Lupi, S., Metcalf, P. & Marsi, M. (2009). Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 066805.]) have reported on the ARPES spectra because of the difficulty of obtaining a high-quality mirror plane after cleaving. The size of the flat regions on a cleaved surface has been reported to be typically no larger than the diameter of 100 µm (Mo et al., 2006[Mo, S.-K., Kim, H.-D., Denlinger, J. D., Allen, J. W., Park, J.-H., Sekiyama, A., Yamasaki, A., Suga, S., Saitoh, Y., Muro, T. & Metcalf, P. (2006). Phys. Rev. B, 74, 165101.]), and thus one must be able to select well cleaved regions with sub-mm2 size to record reliable ARPES data in a wide momentum region by rotating the sample, which may induce a possible change of the sample position. These technical problems are, however, overcome with micro-positioning techniques for soft X-ray ARPES measurements, namely, using focused soft X-rays and monitoring the sample surface with a long-working-distance microscope for the microfocus beam (40 × 65 µm FWHMs) (Muro et al., 2009[Muro, T., Kato, Y., Matsushita, T., Kinoshita, T., Watanabe, Y., Sekiyama, A., Sugiyama, H., Kimura, M., Komori, S., Suga, S., Okazaki, H. & Yokoya, T. (2009). Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 053901.]). In this paper, we demonstrate successful band mapping and also show the position dependence of the photoemission spectral line shape for metallic V2O3.

2. Experimental

ARPES measurements were performed at the soft X-ray helical undulator beamline BL25SU (Saitoh et al., 1998[Saitoh, Y., Nakatani, T., Matsushita, T., Miyahara, T., Fujisawa, M., Soda, K., Muro, T., Ueda, S., Harada, H., Sekiyama, A., Imada, S., Daimon, H. & Suga, S. (1998). J. Synchrotron Rad. 5, 542-544.], 2000[Saitoh, Y., Kimura, H., Suzuki, Y., Nakatani, T., Matsushita, T., Muro, T., Miyahara, T., Fujisawa, M., Soda, K., Ueda, S., Harada, H., Kotsugi, M., Sekiyama, A. & Suga, S. (2000). Rev. Sci. Instrum. 71, 3254-3259.]) in SPring-8. The spectra were recorded with a hemispherical electron-energy analyser (VG Scienta AB, SES200) with an angular resolution of 0.2° within ± 5.5° along the slit. In the experimental geometry for these micro-ARPES measurements (as shown in Fig. 1[link]), the entrance slit of the analyser is vertical. Therefore, this electron-energy analyser has a horizontal spatial resolution when using the spatial imaging mode of the electron lens (Muro et al., 2009[Muro, T., Kato, Y., Matsushita, T., Kinoshita, T., Watanabe, Y., Sekiyama, A., Sugiyama, H., Kimura, M., Komori, S., Suga, S., Okazaki, H. & Yokoya, T. (2009). Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 053901.]). Since the magnification of the special imaging mode is 5, the horizontal spatial resolution is ∼40 µm for the 0.2 mm-wide slit, and thus it is possible to select a small region on the sample surface. The analyser is mounted at 45° horizontally inclined from the soft X-ray beam, which is well focused onto the sample surface with a beam size of 40 µm × 65 µm FWHM. The long-working-distance microscope (Infinity Photo-Optical, K2/S) is mounted with an offset angle of 10° from the incident photon beam. The microscope images are displayed on a computer screen as shown in Fig. 2[link](a). The sample positions were selected by monitoring the microscope image of the sample surface and the photoelectron count rates. Beforehand, the intersection between the electron analyser axis and the soft X-ray beam was marked on the microscope monitor using a fluorescent substrate, which was positioned so as to maximize the photoelectron counts detected by the electron analyser. To adjust a small area of the sample surface to this intersection, we first set the target region to the mark on the microscope monitor; we then scanned the sample position along the microscope axis while keeping the target region on the mark, until the maximum photoelectron count was detected to avoid ambiguity of the focal depth of the microscope. The detailed positioning techniques are described elsewhere (Muro et al., 2009[Muro, T., Kato, Y., Matsushita, T., Kinoshita, T., Watanabe, Y., Sekiyama, A., Sugiyama, H., Kimura, M., Komori, S., Suga, S., Okazaki, H. & Yokoya, T. (2009). Rev. Sci. Instrum. 80, 053901.], 2011[Muro, T., Kato, Y., Matsushita, T., Kinoshita, T., Watanabe, Y., Okazaki, H., Yokoya, T., Sekiyama, A. & Suga, S. (2011). J. Synchrotron Rad. 18, 879-884.]). The photoemission spectra are calibrated by the Fermi edge for evaporated Au. The total energy resolution at 175 K was set to 180–250 meV at hν = 640 eV.

The dashed lines in (e)–(h) are guides to the eye of the peak position indicating the band structures.

The single-crystalline V2O3 was cleaved in situ with a base pressure of ∼3 × 10−8 Pa. To cleave the crystal we glued a Cu plate to the V2O3 sample. With the sample temperature set somewhat below the MIT transition temperature, we then made thermal contact to the Cu plate with a room-temperature diamond file that was mounted on a wobble stick, thus setting up a thermal gradient across the sample. After a waiting time that was variable from sample to sample, and with some adjustment of the starting temperature from sample to sample, this procedure causes the sample to cleave spontaneously due to the strain set up by the volume change that occurs across the MIT. We have another microscope to monitor the sample surface just after cleaving in the preparation chamber, from where the sample is transferred to the main chamber using only the z (vertical) motion (Muro et al., 2011[Muro, T., Kato, Y., Matsushita, T., Kinoshita, T., Watanabe, Y., Okazaki, H., Yokoya, T., Sekiyama, A. & Suga, S. (2011). J. Synchrotron Rad. 18, 879-884.]). The microscope in the preparation chamber gives better contrast of the image than that in the main chamber due to its shorter working distance, as shown under illumination in Fig. 2[link](b). Therefore, it is very helpful for selecting a well cleaved area on the cleaved sample surface. After the ARPES measurement, the surface roughness of the measured position was checked with an outside scanning electron microscope (Fig. 2[link]c) and/or with a confocal microscope in Osaka University. The effectively measured regions, taking into account the vibration of the manipulator (±15 µm) due to the closed-cycle cryostat (Muro et al., 2011[Muro, T., Kato, Y., Matsushita, T., Kinoshita, T., Watanabe, Y., Okazaki, H., Yokoya, T., Sekiyama, A. & Suga, S. (2011). J. Synchrotron Rad. 18, 879-884.]), are circled (diameter of 100 µm) on the microscope images in Figs. 2[link](a)–2[link](c).

3. Results and discussion

Fig. 2[link](d) shows the angle-integrated valence-band photoemission spectra recorded at five different positions marked on the microscope image in Figs. 2[link](a) and 2[link](b). Although the distance between position 1 and the other four positions is only ∼100 µm, the spectra show a clear sample-position dependence. Most remarkable are the V 3d states in the range from EF to 3 eV. The spectrum observed at position 1 shows the peak structure labelled as A near EF and the shoulder structure B around 1.5 eV. The former peak is the so-called quasi-particle peak, and the latter is due to the incoherent satellite originating from the lower Hubbard band. This spectral line shape is qualitatively consistent with the reported spectra (Mo et al., 2003[Mo, S.-K. et al. (2003). Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 186403.]). The structures A and B are, however, not observed at position 2. One can find only a hump structure around 1 eV, and the O 2p states (4–10 eV) are also rather featureless compared with those at position 1. The spectral line shapes obtained at the other three positions are somewhat in-between. These variations in the spectra could be due to the inhomogeneity of the electronic structure, as reported in recent absorption spectroscopy and photoelectron microscopy (Lupi et al., 2010[Lupi, S. et al. (2010). Nat. Commun. 1, 105.]), and/or the increase of surface components due to the surface roughness. Indeed, it is reported that the valence-band spectrum excited by low-energy photons (∼60 eV) does not show the peak structure A (Mo et al., 2003[Mo, S.-K. et al. (2003). Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 186403.]). By comparing the morphology on the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image in Fig. 2[link](c) with the valence-band photoemission spectra, one can notice that only the flat surface in region 1 provides fine structured spectra. At other positions, the flat surface is coexistent with rough surfaces in the area within the diameter of 100 µm. In particular, position 2 even has a crack in the middle of the beam spot area. This suggests that the photoemission line shape of V2O3 is sensitive to the surface roughness. For the ARPES measurements, the surface roughness must be minimized because the flat surface is essential to enable the momentum conservation law. The ARPES spectra recorded in position 1 show dispersion near EF (Fig. 2[link]e). The band width is not broad, but the electron-like band feature is clearly observed in the energy distribution curves (EDCs) near EF in Fig. 2[link](f). In contrast, the ARPES spectra obtained at position 2 show broad and rather dispersionless features (see Figs. 2[link]g and 2[link]h). These results show that selection of a proper cleavage plane with sub-mm2 size by the micro-positioning system is important for reliable ARPES measurements even when performing soft X-ray ARPES.

To discuss the electronic structures of three-dimensional materials such as V2O3, it is essential to obtain the band structure not only along kxky but also in the kz directions. Since one can probe the band structure along the kz direction by sweeping the photon energy, we show in Fig. 3[link] the hν-dependent ARPES spectra for the certain cleaved V2O3 surface as position 1 in Fig. 2[link](a). The band mapping recorded at different hν in Figs. 3[link](a)–3[link](c) clearly shows the development of the band structures with decreasing hν, representing the kz dispersion. It is obvious that there are no bands crossing EF in Fig. 3[link](a) recorded at hν = 705 eV, while the V 3d bands contribute to the Fermi surface at hν = 685 eV (Fig. 3[link]b). The most prominent signals are observed at hν = 645 eV (Fig. 3[link]c). Indeed, the V 3d peak near EF in the angle-`integrated' spectra increases with decreasing hν from 705 eV to 645 eV (Fig. 3[link]d). This evolution of the band structure is highlighted in Figs. 3[link](e)–3[link](g) by subtracting the partially momentum-averaged EDC in the range −1 Å−1 to −0.5 Å−1 as shown in Fig. 3[link](h), where the non-dispersive signal is observed, to give a `background' signal possibly due to the angle-`integrated' components from the surface roughness (Mo et al., 2006[Mo, S.-K., Kim, H.-D., Denlinger, J. D., Allen, J. W., Park, J.-H., Sekiyama, A., Yamasaki, A., Suga, S., Saitoh, Y., Muro, T. & Metcalf, P. (2006). Phys. Rev. B, 74, 165101.]) and/or the thermal effects because of high excitation energies combined with relatively high sample temperature (Kamakura et al., 2006[Kamakura, N., Takata, Y., Tokushima, T., Harada, Y., Chainani, A., Kobayashi, K. & Shin, S. (2006). Phys. Rev. B, 74, 045127.]; Braun et al., 2013[Braun, J., Minár, J., Mankovsky, S., Strocov, V. N., Brookes, N. B., Plucinski, L., Schneider, C. M., Fadley, C. S. & Ebert, H. (2013). Phys. Rev. B, 88, 205409.]). Moreover, one can estimate the V 3d band width as ∼0.5 eV from the bottom of the band observed using 645 eV photons. This is also supported by the EDCs in Fig. 3[link](i). By tracking the EDC peak positions near EF, one notices the electron-like band dispersion.

Band mapping of V2O3 recorded at hν = 705 eV (a), 685 eV (b), 645 eV (c), and those angle-`integrated' spectra (d). Highlighted band structures are shown by subtracting the non-dispersive background components in the range −1 Å−1 to −0.5 Å−1 for hν = 705 eV (e), 685 eV (f), 645 eV (g). This subtraction procedure is demonstrated in (h) for the energy distribution curve (EDC) at the relative wavenumber of 0 Å−1 recorded at hν = 645 eV in (h). (i) EDCs for (c) with the dashed lines and the arrow as guides to the eye.

To demonstrate the feasibility of the three-dimensional ARPES, we have measured the polar-angle dependence of the ARPES spectra by rotating the manipulator θ for `oriented' V2O3 cleaved on the (0001) plane. The intensity plot of the polar-angle-dependent ARPES spectra with hν = 660 eV in Fig. 4[link](a) shows a narrow band structure around EF, and the top of the O 2p band is observed at the relative angle of 0°. By taking the second derivative as shown in Fig. 4[link](b), the O 2p band in the range 4–8 eV is clearly observed. In particular three O 2p bands are confirmed by tracking the peak of the EDCs around 0° in Fig. 4[link](c). Furthermore one recognizes that the bottom of the V 3d band is located at 0° and weakly disperses to ±4°. Thus the feasibility of the polar-angle-dependent ARPES for V2O3 is shown, and we now stress that three-dimensional ARPES for poorly cleaving strong correlated systems, e.g. lacking a layer structure, is feasible by selecting the tiny flat surfaces using the micro-positioning technique.

4. Conclusion

We have succeeded in recording band dispersions of metallic V2O3 by using a soft X-ray micro-ARPES method that combines a focused X-ray beam and micro-positioning techniques with a long-distance optical microscope. The spectra showed a strong position dependence with respect to surface roughness, and band mapping was successfully performed in a flat region of size ∼100 µm. The photon-energy dependence of ARPES measurements has shown the evolution of the V 3d band structures, and the polar-angle dependence has captured the symmetric band dispersions in the O 2p states. Therefore, we conclude that complete three-dimensional band mapping and Fermiology along all kx, ky, kz directions are feasible by performing soft X-ray ARPES with micro-positioning techniques to select a micro-cleavage surface.
