Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is a vital technique, collecting data from both the energy and momentum of photoemitted electrons, and is indispensable for investigating the electronic band structure of solids. This article provides a review on ARPES studies of the electronic band structure of organic single crystals, including organic charge transfer conductors; organic semiconductors; and organo-metallic perovskites. In organic conductors and semiconductors, band dispersions are observed that are highly anisotropic. The Van der Waals crystal nature, the weak electron wavefunction overlap, as well as the strong electron-phonon coupling result in many organic crystals having indiscernible dispersion. In comparison, organo-metallic perovskite halides are characterized by strong s-p orbitals from the metal and halide at the top of the valence bands, with dispersions similar to those in inorganic materials.

Abstract The electronic structure of heterointerfaces play a pivotal role in their device functionality. Recently, highly crystalline ultrathin films of superconducting NbN have been integrated by molecular beam epitaxy with the semiconducting GaN. We use soft X-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy to directly measure the momentum-resolved electronic band structures for both NbN and GaN constituents of this Schottky heterointerface, and determine their momentum-dependent interfacial band offset as well as the band-bending profile into GaN. We find, in particular, that the Fermi states in NbN are aligned against the band gap in GaN, which excludes any significant electronic cross-talk of the superconducting states in NbN through the interface to GaN. We support the experimental findings with first-principles calculations for bulk NbN and GaN. The Schottky barrier height obtained from photoemission is corroborated by electronic transport and optical measurements. The momentum-resolved understanding of electronic properties elucidated by the combined materials advances and experimental methods in our work opens up new possibilities in systems where interfacial states play a defining role.
