"I am very excited about receiving a DOE early career research award," said Katoch, "It will enable my research group to perform cutting edge work on 2D quantum materials at the state-of-the-art MAESTRO beamline at the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. This award gives LIQUID group members an opportunity to venture into a new direction of performing in-operando angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub-100 nm spatial resolution on fully functional quantum devices at this beamline."

In Operando Angle‐Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy with Nanoscale Spatial Resolution: Spatial Mapping of the Electronic Structure of Twisted Bilayer Graphene
Small Science2021
To pinpoint the electronic and structural mechanisms that affect intrinsic and extrinsic performance limits of 2D material devices, it is of critical importance to resolve the electronic properties on the mesoscopic length scale of such devices under operating conditions. Herein, angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution (nanoARPES) is used to map the quasiparticle electronic structure of a twisted bilayer graphene device.
Accessing the spectral function in a current-carrying device
Physical Review Letters2020
The presence of an electrical transport current in a material is one of the simplest and most important realizations of nonequilibrium physics. The current density breaks the crystalline symmetry and can give rise to dramatic phenomena, such as sliding charge density waves, insulator-to-metal transitions, or gap openings in topologically protected states. Almost nothing is known about how a current influences the electron spectral function, which characterizes most of the solid’s electronic, optical, and chemical properties.
Momentum-resolved view of highly tunable many-body effects in a graphene/hBN field-effect device
Physical Review B2020
Integrating the carrier tunability of a functional two-dimensional material electronic device with a direct probe of energy-and momentum-resolved electronic excitations is essential to gain insights on how many-body interactions are influenced during device operation. Here, we use microfocused angle-resolved photoemission in order to analyze many-body interactions in back-gated graphene supported on hexagonal boron nitride. By extracting the doping-dependent quasiparticle dispersion and self-energy, we observe how these interactions renormalize the Dirac cone and impact the electron mobility of our device.
Direct observation of minibands in a twisted graphene/WS2 bilayer
Science Advances2020
Stacking two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials with different interlayer atomic registry in a heterobilayer causes the formation of a long-range periodic superlattice that may bestow the heterostructure with properties such as new quantum fractal states or superconductivity. Recent optical measurements of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers have revealed the presence of hybridized interlayer electron-hole pair excitations at energies defined by the superlattice potential. The corresponding quasiparticle band structures, so-called minibands, have remained elusive, and no such features have been reported for heterobilayers composed of a TMD and another type of 2D material.
Observation of electrically tunable van Hove singularities in twisted bilayer graphene from NanoARPES
Advanced Materials2020
The possibility of triggering correlated phenomena by placing a singularity of the density of states near the Fermi energy remains an intriguing avenue toward engineering the properties of quantum materials. Twisted bilayer graphene is a key material in this regard because the superlattice produced by the rotated graphene layers introduces a van Hove singularity and flat bands near the Fermi energy that cause the emergence of numerous correlated phases, including superconductivity. Direct demonstration of electrostatic control of the superlattice bands over a wide energy range has, so far, been critically missing.
