Features: This book studies the current status of photoelectron spectroscopy techniques for researching cuprate superconductors from both theoretical and experimental aspects, and also presents the results obtained from these measurements. The techniques described include angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), core-level spectroscopy, and several derivative techniques such as resonant photoemission. The book focuses on the challenges encountered in interpreting these spectra, as well as issues related to preparing high-quality sample surfaces and improving measurement resolution. Comparisons are made with results obtained from other experimental techniques. The authors also briefly outline the expected future developments of these techniques.
