Multiband lineshape fitting routines for photoemission spectroscopy
Project description
pesfit
Scalable distributed multicomponent lineshape fitting routines and benchmarks for spectral or spectrum-like data
Rationale
Lineshape fitting is a universal task in photoemission spectroscopy and can be a tedious endeavor due to the increasing amount of data measured in modern instruments (e.g. angle-resolved hemispherical analyzer, time-of-flight electron momentum microscope). It extracts physically meaningful quantities directly related to the materials' electronic properties, which can be reproduced from theory calculations. However, the efficiency bottleneck in lineshape fitting puts constraints on the potential new physical insights obtainable within a meaningful time frame. We set up here examples of multiband photoemission spectra along with existing domain knowledge in the field. The routines and benchmarks featured here offer an open-source data and algorithm platform for continuous algorithm development to improve the computational efficiency of the lineshape fitting task, which, in the meantime, also paves the way towards the automation of materials characterization using photoemission spectroscopy.
Design and scope
The fitting part of the package builds and improves on the existing Model
and CompositeModel
classes in the widely-used lmfit
package to include multiband lineshapes (involving an arbitrary number of peaks) evaluated using map-reduce operations. Fitting of many intensity profiles (i.e. line spectra) can be carried out either in sequence or in parallel (built in using dask and multiprocessing).
The focus of the software and its benchmarks in on determining the momentum-dependent band positions in valence band photoemission data at scale (e.g. 104-105 spectra with each containing 10+ bands), which meets the needs for a global understanding of these complex data with reasonable accuracy (not necessarily accounting for all photoemission physics) to yield empirical structural information (i.e. band structure parameters). For conventional data analysis of core-level photoemission spectroscopy that often exhibits a complex background, please consult software packages such as lmfit, xps, and gxps.
