SUMMARY
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a technique that provides energy dispersion as a function of momentum (k). While it can show the full band structure, it is often discussed in the context of mapping the Fermi surface by identifying k-values where the band crosses the Fermi energy. This dual capability allows researchers to analyze both the Fermi surface and the overall electronic structure of materials. Proper analysis techniques are essential for extracting comprehensive information from ARPES data.
