In this contribution we investigate the electronic structure of armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional calculations. Specifically, using an orientated AGNRs with a width of 7 carbon atoms adsorbed on a stepped Au surface, we demonstrate how photoemission tomography can be used to shed light on the electronic structure of its frontier valence bands. We present a series of constant binding energy momentum maps which allow us to identify all relevant valence (sub)-bands of this graphene nanoribbon. By comparing theoretical results for free-standing and adsorbed ribbons, we investigate the degree of molecule-substrate hybridization and inter-ribbon interactions thereby demonstrating that photoemission tomography proves to be a powerful technique to study the electronic structure of such quantum confined 1D systems.
