We are developing and utilizing photon dichroic and spin resolved techniques to investigate electron correlation in complex systems. These materials include potential spintronic device sources such as Fe/GaAs and f electronic materials such as non-magnetic {delta}-Pu. We are pursuing Double Polarization Photoelectron Dichroism measurements of the Fano Effect, using spin resolving detection in photoelectron spectroscopy, to test the nature of electron correlation in Pu. (See Pubs 2, 4 & 5.) If successful, we will solve the riddle of Pu electronic structure that has remained unresolved for the last 60 years. We are also developing a Bremstrahlung Isochromat Spectroscopy (BIS) capability to permit the direct measurement of the unoccupied electronic structure of Pu, which is another missing piece in the puzzle of Pu electronic structure.
