Advances in Photoemission Techniques: Probing Space, Energy, Momentum, and Time
About the Symposium
Photoemission spectroscopy and microscopy have long been essential tools in physics and chemistry, providing profound insights into electronic structures and surface phenomena. Over the past decade, however, the field has experienced a remarkable wave of technological innovation that has dramatically expanded its capabilities and scientific reach.
Recent advancements have made it possible to go beyond traditional energy-resolved measurements. Techniques now exist that enable ultra-high spatial resolution imaging, momentum-resolved mapping, and time-resolved studies of ultrafast dynamics. The integration of these dimensions—space, energy, momentum, and time—has opened the door to a new era of photoemission science. These breakthroughs have not only deepened our understanding of fundamental physical and chemical processes but have also begun to influence emerging fields such as biology, where visualization of dynamic and nanoscale phenomena is increasingly important.
At the same time, the applicability of photoemission techniques to industrial and technological domains—such as semiconductors, quantum materials, and energy-related devices—is gaining momentum. As these technologies mature, their potential to contribute to practical innovations is growing rapidly.
This workshop aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent developments in photoemission-based microscopy and spectroscopy, while also highlighting cutting-edge applications across disciplines. By bringing together experts in instrumentation, fundamental science, and applied research, we hope to foster new collaborations and perspectives.
A key objective of this meeting is to actively involve early-career researchers and students, offering them a platform to present their work and engage in forward-looking discussions. Their participation is essential to ensure the continued evolution and vitality of the field. In addition to supporting their scientific development, the workshop will serve as a networking hub for the next generation of photoemission scientists, helping them build international connections and long-term collaborations.
We also aim to stimulate bold, interdisciplinary dialogue that bridges traditional academic boundaries and explores the possibility of new, cross-cutting scientific paradigms. Ultimately, the meeting aspires to chart the future of photoemission science—not only as a diagnostic method but as a driver of innovation across the physical, chemical, biological, and industrial sciences.

Code of Conduct
We are committed to making our workshops (workshop(s) organized by OIST, hereinafter “our workshop(s)”) an inclusive space for sharing ideas and knowledge. We will not tolerate disrespectful communication, discrimination, harassment, or bullying in any form. As such, all participants attending our workshops are required to comply with this Code of Conduct. To provide all participants the opportunity to benefit from our workshops, we at OIST are dedicated to a positive, safe and harassment-free experience. Harassment in any form is specifically prohibited.
Harassment involves continued antisocial or unreasonable actions that violate a reasonable person’s personal rights and/or dignity and cause mental suffering, and thus worsen the person’s environment or make him/her anxious about participation. Behavior that is acceptable to one person may not be acceptable to another, so we ask that you use discretion to be sure that respect is communicated. Harassment intended in a joking manner nevertheless constitutes unacceptable behavior. Speech that is not welcomed or that is personally offensive, whether it is based on gender, age, sexual orientation, mental or physical disability, ethnicity, national origin, religion etc. will not be tolerated.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please bring this to the immediate attention of the organizers. If you wish to report an issue concerning the organizers, you can contact the Conference and Workshop Section directly and submit a confidential report by sending an email to workshop-codeofconduct@oist.jp or submitting a report through the webform.
All complaints will be taken seriously and responded to by the Dean of Research promptly. Confidentiality will be maintained to the extent that it does not compromise the rights of others. Individuals found in breach of this Code of Conduct will be dismissed from the workshop immediately. Retaliation for reporting harassment is also a violation of Code of Conduct, as is reporting an incident in bad faith.
Be Aware of Travel Arrangement Scam!
Workshop organizers and invited speakers are often contacted by number of "travel agencies" to which OIST is not related, based on the publicly available information on the web.
Please refrain from replying to those agencies unless OIST organizers or secretariat have explicitly contacted you beforehand.
When in doubt, please send a copy of any email communication to OIST Conference and Workshop Section workshop@oist.jp
