The Mott insulator Ca2RuO4 can be turned into a metal by the application of a weak electric field and a corresponding transport current. This transition affects the optical and magnetic properties of the material. However, because of the electric field’s presence and the field-induced energy broadening, it is challenging to determine the electronic structure in the metallic state by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Making use of the recently introduced approach to enable ARPES measurements of current-carrying devices by using a nano-scale light spot [1], we are able to measure ARPES data that tracks the current-induced phase transition in Ca2RuO4 simultaneously with the electrical transport, revealing the spectral function of the current-induced state along with a potential map of the sample’s surface.
