I will present several case-studies wherein hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES) in the multi-keV regime is used to probe the bulk properties of complex thin- film materials and heterojunctions, which would be otherwise impossible to investigate using conventional soft x-ray XPS [1]. I will present the first results of hard x-ray angle- resolved photoemission measurements (HARPES), at excitation energies of 3 and 6 keV [2,3]. Compared to the traditional ARPES, carried out in the UPS regime (20-100 eV), this new technique enables one to probe on average 10-40 times deeper into the bulk. Finally, I will introduce a new photoemission technique (SWARPES) which combines soft x-ray ARPES with standing-wave (SW) excited photoelectron spectroscopy, wherein the intensity profile of the exciting x-ray radiation is tailored within the sample in order to provide a depth-selective probe of the electronic structure of buried layers and interfaces [4].
