A specialized synchrotron beamline reveals details of electron behavior

Caption

Researchers at SLAC, Stanford and Clemson used a technique called angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), shown here, to eject electrons from doped 1D copper oxide chains and measure their direction and energy. This gave them a detailed and sensitive picture of how the electrons in the material behave. The work was done at a specially designed beamline at SLAC’s Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, SSRL.
