收藏资源简介:
The main data analysis was done with Wavemetrics Igor Pro 7.08 using user-defined macros. Data files given in *.itx<br> format are human-readable text files that can be opened in Igor Pro. User-defined macros are available from the<br> authors upon reasonable request. Static spectra are measured with the proprietary "Croissant" software for the<br> channeltron analyzer and saved in human-readable *.plsp format, or SpecsLab Prodigy 4.60.1 for the 2D analyzer and<br> saved in the proprietary SPECS *.sle format or exported into *.itx format. Time-resolved spectra are measured with a<br> proprietary LabView program and exported in the binary HDF5 *.h5 file format. <br> ******************************************** Fig. 1 LEED and He Ia ARPES ********************************************<br> LEED images taken with SBIG STF-8300 CCD Camera, the SBIG format is a 16-bit grayscale bitmap with metadata.<br> Fig. 1a: LEED image at 120 eV<br> LEED220210_120eV_Cu111_hBN_Cu2O.SBIG<br> Fig. 1b: LEED image at 48 eV<br> LEED220210_048eV_Cu111_hBN_Cu2O.SBIG other energies (not shown in the figure): see Fig. S2/S3 Fig. 1c: He Ia spectrum second derivative as function of parallel momentum and binding energy<br> Spectra measured with VG ESCALAB 220 channeltron hemispherical analyzer by tilting the sample at two fixed azimuthal<br> angles and using a Gammadata VUV 5050 monochromated helium lamp.
