Abstract

In this Chapter, we explain the experimental methods including crystal growth, transport measurement, magnetic property measurement, heat capacity measurement, infrared-ultraviolet reflectivity spectroscopy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Above a couple of spectroscopic tools, the ARPES can probe the momentum-dependent electronic structure providing detailed information on band dispersion and Fermi surface as well as on nature of many-body correlations. While the ARPES is a surface sensitive technique due to the short photoelectron escape depth, the present low-energy laser- and high-energy soft-x-ray- ARPES are more bulk-sensitive in comparison with the traditional VUV-ARPES with helium-lamp or synchrotron light source.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A Ti\(_{3}\)O\(_{5}\) impurity phase appeared through sintering processes even at any reductive atmosphere.

  2. 2.

    To remove the contribution of the transverse magnetoresistance as originating from the Lorentz force.

  3. 3.

    Here we assume La\(_{1-x}\)Sr\(_x\)VO\(_3\) and (Ti\(_{1-x}\)V\(_x\))\(_2\)O\(_3\) as the target compounds. To prevent oxidation of the samples, the reductive Ar/H\(_2\) 93 %/7 % atmosphere was chosen.

  4. 4.
