One of the layered transition-metal dichalcogenides, IrTe2, exhibits a structural phase transition from trigonal to monoclinic or triclinic at about 280 K [1]. The lattice distortion of the Ir triangular lattice and the Ir-Ir dimerization can be understood based on the orbitally induced Peierls mechanism [2] as supported by the photoemission studies on IrTe2 [3,4]. There is an interesting interplay between the structural phase transition and the superconductivity [5,6] in which the multi-band Fermi surfaces are expected to play a significant role. Very recently, IrTe2 has been attracting revived interest due to its unique domain texture and its peculiar surface states. The quasi 1D surface states were discovered by Ootsuki et al. by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) at BL-9A, HiSOR [7]. In this seminar, we will discuss spin polarization of the surface states, which is induced by strong Ir 5d/Te 5p spin-orbit interaction, on the basis of spin-resolved ARPES results obtained at BL-9B, HiSOR [8]. In addition, we will discuss the interesting evolution of the domain texture and the domain dependent surface states which have been observed by nano-ARPES at SPECTROMICROSCOPY-3.2L beamline of Elettra.
