Documentation

PyARPES simplifies the analysis and collection of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and emphasizes

• modern, best practices for data science
• support for a standard library of ARPES analysis tools mirroring those available in Igor Pro
• interactive and extensible analysis tools

It supports a variety of data formats from synchrotron and laser-ARPES sources including ARPES at the AdvancedLight Source (ALS), the data produced by Scienta Omicron GmbH's "SES Wrapper", data and experiment files fromIgor Pro, NeXuS files, and others.

To learn more about installing and using PyARPES in your analysis or data collection application,visitthe documentation site.

PyARPES is currently developed by Conrad Stansbury of the Lanzara Group at the University of California, Berkeley.

If you use PyARPES in your work, please support the development of scientific software by acknowledging its usefulness to you with a citation. The simplest way to do this is to cite the paper describing the package in SoftwareX

@article{

stansburypyarpes,title = {PyARPES: An analysis framework for multimodal angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopies},journal = {SoftwareX},volume = {11},pages = {100472},year = {2020},issn = {2352-7110},doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.softx.2020.100472},url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352711019301633},author = {Conrad Stansbury and Alessandra Lanzara},keywords = {ARPES, NanoARPES, Pump-probe ARPES, Photoemission, Python, Qt, Jupyter},abstract = {},

}

PyARPES can be installed from source, or using eitherpip orconda into a Python 3.6 or 3.7 environment.conda is preferred as a package manager in order to facilitate installing the libraries for reading HDF andNetCDF files.

pip install arpes

PyARPES is distributed through thearpes Anaconda channel, but includes dependencies throughconda-forge.Please make sure not to put conda-forge above the main channel priority, as this can cause issues with installing BLAS.A minimal install looks like

conda config --append channels conda-forgeconda install -c arpes -c conda-forge arpes

If you want to modify the source for PyARPES as you use it, you might prefer a local installation from source.Details can be found onthe documentation site.

1. Clone or duplicate the folder structure in the repositoryarpes-analysis-scaffold,skipping the example folder and data if you like
2. Install and configure standard tools likeJupyter or Jupyter Lab. Notes on installingand configuring Jupyter based installations can be found injupyter.md
3. Explore the documentation and example notebooks atthe documentation site.

Questions, difficulties, and suggestions can be directed to Conrad Stansbury (chstan@berkeley.edu)or added to the repository as an issue. In the case of trouble, also check theFAQ.
