Demonstration of the conversion pipeline using time-resolved ARPES data stored on Zenodo#

In this example, we pull some time-resolved ARPES data from Zenodo, and load it into the sed package using functions of the mpes package. Then, we run a conversion pipeline on it, containing steps for visualizing the channels, correcting image distortions, calibrating the momentum space, correcting for energy distortions and calibrating the energy axis. Finally, the data are binned in calibrated axes. For performance reasons, best store the data on a locally attached storage (no network drive). This can also be achieved transparently using the included MirrorUtil class.

Distortion correction and Momentum Calibration workflow#

Distortion correction#

1. step:#

Bin and load part of the dataframe in detector coordinates, and choose energy plane where high-symmetry points can well be identified. Either use the interactive tool, or pre-select the range:

[8]:
#sp.bin_and_load_momentum_calibration(df_partitions=20, plane=170)
sp.bin_and_load_momentum_calibration(df_partitions=100, plane=33, width=10, apply=True)

2. Step:#

Next, we select a number of features corresponding to the rotational symmetry of the material, plus the center. These can either be auto-detected (for well-isolated points), or provided as a list (these can be read-off the graph in the cell above). These are then symmetrized according to the rotational symmetry, and a spline-warping correction for the x/y coordinates is calculated, which corrects for any geometric distortions from the perfect n-fold rotational symmetry.

[9]:
#features = np.array([[203.2, 341.96], [299.16, 345.32], [350.25, 243.70], [304.38, 149.88], [199.52, 152.48], [154.28, 242.27], [248.29, 248.62]])
#sp.define_features(features=features, rotation_symmetry=6, include_center=True, apply=True)
# Manual selection: Use a GUI tool to select peaks:
#sp.define_features(rotation_symmetry=6, include_center=True)
# Autodetect: Uses the DAOStarFinder routine to locate maxima.
# Parameters are:
#   fwhm: Full-width at half maximum of peaks.
#   sigma: Number of standard deviations above the mean value of the image peaks must have.
#   sigma_radius: number of standard deviations around a peak that peaks are fitted
sp.define_features(rotation_symmetry=6, auto_detect=True, include_center=True, fwhm=10, sigma=12, sigma_radius=4, apply=True)

3. Step:#

Generate nonlinear correction using splinewarp algorithm. If no landmarks have been defined in previous step, default parameters from the config are used

[10]:
# Option whether a central point shall be fixed in the determination fo the correction

4. Step:#

To adjust scaling, position and orientation of the corrected momentum space image, you can apply further affine transformations to the distortion correction field. Here, first a potential scaling is applied, next a translation, and finally a rotation around the center of the image (defined via the config). One can either use an interactive tool, or provide the adjusted values and apply them directly.

Momentum calibration workflow#

1. Step:#

First, the momentum scaling needs to be calibrated. Either, one can provide the coordinates of one point outside the center, and provide its distance to the Brillouin zone center (which is assumed to be located in the center of the image), one can specify two points on the image and their distance (where the 2nd point marks the BZ center),or one can provide absolute k-coordinates of two distinct momentum points.

If no points are provided, an interactive tool is created. Here, left mouse click selects the off-center point (brillouin_zone_centered=True) or toggle-selects the off-center and center point.

[14]:
k_distance = 2/np.sqrt(3)*np.pi/3.28 # k-distance of the K-point in a hexagonal Brillouin zone
#sp.calibrate_momentum_axes(k_distance = k_distance)
point_a = [308, 345]
sp.calibrate_momentum_axes(point_a=point_a, k_distance = k_distance, apply=True)
#point_b = [247, 249]
#sp.calibrate_momentum_axes(point_a=point_a, point_b = point_b, k_coord_a = [.5, 1.1], k_coord_b = [0, 0], equiscale=False)

Energy Correction and Calibration workflow#

Energy Correction (optional)#

The purpose of the energy correction is to correct for any momentum-dependent distortion of the energy axis, e.g. from geometric effects in the flight tube, or from space charge

1st step:#

Here, one can select the functional form to be used, and adjust its parameters. The binned data used for the momentum calibration is plotted around the Fermi energy (defined by tof_fermi), and the correction function is plotted ontop. Possible correction functions are: “spherical” (parameter: diameter), “Lorentzian” (parameter: gamma), “Gaussian” (parameter: sigma), and “Lorentzian_asymmetric” (parameters: gamma, amplitude2, gamma2).

One can either use an interactive alignment tool, or provide parameters directly.

[17]:
#sp.adjust_energy_correction(amplitude=2.5, center=(730, 730), gamma=920, tof_fermi = 66200)
sp.adjust_energy_correction(amplitude=2.5, center=(730, 730), gamma=920, tof_fermi = 66200, apply=True)

Energy calibration#

For calibrating the energy axis, a set of data taken at different bias voltages around the value where the measurement was taken is required.

1. Step:#

In a first step, the data are loaded, binned along the TOF dimension, and normalized. The used bias voltages can be either provided, or read from attributes in the source files if present.

[20]:
# Load energy calibration EDCs
energycalfolder = caldir
scans = np.arange(1,12)
voltages = np.arange(12,23,1)
files = [energycalfolder + r'/Scan' + str(num).zfill(3) + '_' + str(num+11) + '.h5' for num in scans]

WARNING - Entry "KTOF:Lens:Sample:V" for channel "sampleBias" not found. Skipping the channel.

2. Step:#

Next, the same peak or feature needs to be selected in each curve. For this, one needs to define “ranges” for each curve, within which the peak of interest is located. One can either provide these ranges manually, or provide one range for a “reference” curve, and infer the ranges for the other curves using a dynamic time warping algorithm.

[21]:
# Option 1 = specify the ranges containing a common feature (e.g an equivalent peak) for all bias scans
# rg = [(129031.03103103103, 129621.62162162163), (129541.54154154155, 130142.14214214214), (130062.06206206206, 130662.66266266267), (130612.61261261262, 131213.21321321322), (131203.20320320321, 131803.8038038038), (131793.7937937938, 132384.38438438438), (132434.43443443443, 133045.04504504506), (133105.10510510512, 133715.71571571572), (133805.8058058058, 134436.43643643643), (134546.54654654654, 135197.1971971972)]

3. Step:#

Next, the detected peak positions and bias voltages are used to determine the calibration function. Essentially, the functional Energy(TOF) is being determined by either least-squares fitting of the functional form d2/(t-t0)2 via lmfit (method: “lmfit”), or by analytically obtaining a polynomial approximation (method: “lstsq” or “lsqr”). The parameter ref_energy is used to define the absolute energy position of the feature used for calibration in the calibrated energy scale. energy_scale can be either “kinetic” (decreasing energy with increasing TOF), or “binding” (increasing energy with increasing TOF).

After calculating the calibration, all traces corrected with the calibration are plotted ontop of each other, and the calibration function (Energy(TOF)) together with the extracted features is being plotted.

[22]:
# Eref can be used to set the absolute energy (kinetic energy, E-EF, etc.) of the feature used for energy calibration (if known)

5. Visualization of calibrated histograms#

With all calibrated axes present in the dataframe, we can visualize the corresponding histograms, and determine the respective binning ranges

[27]:
axes = ['kx', 'ky', 'energy', 'delay']
ranges = [[-3, 3], [-3, 3], [-6, 2], [-600, 1600]]
sp.view_event_histogram(dfpid=1, axes=axes, ranges=ranges)

Define the binning ranges and compute calibrated data volume#

[28]:
axes = ['kx', 'ky', 'energy', 'delay']
bins = [100, 100, 200, 50]
ranges = [[-2, 2], [-2, 2], [-4, 2], [-600, 1600]]
res = sp.compute(bins=bins, axes=axes, ranges=ranges, normalize_to_acquisition_time="delay")
INFO - Calculate normalization histogram for axis 'delay'...

Some visualization:#

[29]:
fig, axs = plt.subplots(4, 1, figsize=(6, 18), constrained_layout=True)
res.loc[{'energy':slice(-.1, 0)}].sum(axis=(2,3)).T.plot(ax=axs[0])
res.loc[{'kx':slice(-.8, -.5)}].sum(axis=(0,3)).T.plot(ax=axs[1])
res.loc[{'ky':slice(-.2, .2)}].sum(axis=(1,3)).T.plot(ax=axs[2])
res.loc[{'kx':slice(-.8, -.5), 'energy':slice(.5, 2)}].sum(axis=(0,1)).plot(ax=axs[3])
