Abstract:Using Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) combined with a thin-film stretching holder, the temperature-dependent band measurements of bulk black phosphorus were conducted firstly, and then the band measurements under tensile strain at 200°C were performed. The results show that as the heating temperature increases from 30°C to 200°C, the valence band maximum (VBM) gradually shifts towards deeper levels. This change is attributed to the weakening of interlayer interactions due to thermal expansion of the lattice. The strain-ARPES measurements at 200°C indicate that as the tensile strain along the zigzag direction increases, the VBM exhibits a linear shift towards shallower levels, with a shift rate of 17.8 meV/% strain. This is because at high temperatures, the tensile strain induces a greater lattice contraction in the out-of-plane direction, resulting in a more significant enhancement of interlayer interactions, which subsequently leads to a more pronounced VBM shift.
