Optical microscope with a large tilt angle and a long focal length for a nano-size angle-resolved photoemission
Abstract:
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution (Nano-ARPES) is a powerful tool for the investigation of electronic structures of materials and their spatial configurations. In order to capture the area of interest in Nano-ARPES measurements effectively, an optical microscope can be used to provide real space optical images as a reference. In this work, a new type of optical microscope for Nano-APRES spectrometer with a large tilt angle of ∼30 degrees and a long focal length of ∼12 mm has been designed. Large magnifications by 7 × to 20 × and a spatial resolution of 3 um have been achieved, which can effectively assist optical alignment for Nano-ARPES. In addition, the strong boundary sensitivity observed in such a tilt design demonstrates its special capability in detecting the fine features of surface coarseness.
