Advanced Photoelectron Spectrometer

Close up of a round window surrounded in stainless steel that is part of equipment in the Advanced Photoelectron Spectrometer facility.

The Advanced Photoelectron Spectrometer facility is to provide researchers at UT the possibility of performing laboratory-based photoemission experiments for analysis of the chemical and electronic properties of various forms of condensed matter that are at the forefront of scientific and technological innovation.

These include, but are not limited to, superconductors, polymers, spintronic and catalytic materials, and condensed matter in disparate forms such as biological cells, bacteria, and minerals. The unique feature of the system is the capability of combining both spin and angular resolution with sub-millimeter spatial resolution.
