Fermi Surface, Fermi-Velocity and Circular Dichroism of Rhenium Measured with Soft X-Rays — •Katerina Medjanik¹, Dmitry Vasilyev¹, Sergey Babenkov¹, Martin Ellguth¹, Benedikt Schönhense², Jens Viefhaus³, Hans-Joachim Elmers¹, and Gerd Schönhense¹ — ¹JGU, Inst. für Physik, Mainz — ²Imperial College London, UK — ³DESY Photon Science, Hamburg

Parallel-imaging k-space microscopy with time-of-flight energy recording has substantially advanced photoemission data recording. In combination with the circularly-polarized high-brilliance soft X-rays at beamline P04 at PETRA III (Hamburg), we acquired 4D photoemission data arrays I(E_B,k_x,k_y,k_z) for both photon helicities in the full bulk Brillouin zone and energy range of the d-band complex. Here, we present the experimental Fermi surface map for rhenium (hcp), revealing unprecedented detail quality. The full data set, including Fermi-velocity distribution v_F(k) and circular dichroism texture have been obtained in a few hours of acquisition time. Maximum k_z-resolution has been achieved by variation of the photon energy in small steps. Data are compared with our previous results for tungsten (bcc) [1] and iridium (fcc) [2].
