The interplay of electronic and geometric structure is one of the key issues of materials research. We present results for the prototypical ferromagnetic semiconductor InGaMnAs (3% In, 2.5% and 5% Mn), recorded at photon energies between 3 and 5 keV at the new beamline P22 at PETRA III (Hamburg) by Time-of-Flight Momentum Microscopy [1]. In the non-centrosymmetric GaAs crystal structure, element-specific hXPD clearly reveals site-specific Ga and As diffraction patterns which are rotated by 90° at identical kinetic energies. The Mn-atoms show diffractograms, which are characteristic for the Ga-sites, as expected for substitutional Mn in GaAs [2]. Sharp valence-band k-patterns show that with increasing Mn-doping the splitting of the p1/2-derived band from the heavy- and light-hole p3/2-bands increases. In addition, the Fermi energy decreases i.e. with increased Mn content the frontier bands are less filled.
