Spin-resolved band dispersion maps. a Dispersion of cobalt bands along the K-Γ-K and W-X-W directions as function of binding energy (E-EF), measured at hv = 50 eV. The left half in a shows the spin-averaging experiment on a grey intensity scale, and the right half the spin-resolved experiment in the same 2D colour code as in Fig. 1. Dashed horizontal lines indicate energies of 2D momentum maps in Fig. 4. b Calculated spin-resolved photoemission intensities corresponding to a using momentum-dependent corrections for the band renormalization \(\frak{Re}\)Σσ(k) as in e, and constant (left half) or E-dependent broadening \(\frak{m}\)Σσ(E) (right half). Dashed curves indicate faint band positions as guide to the eye. c Calculation using a constant \(\frak{Re}\)Σ for as in f. The bottom of the majority electron parabola (see solid arrows) lies too deep, compared with the experiment in a and calculation in b. The right half of panel c uses an energy depended \(\frak{m}\)Σσ(E) following DMFT calculations from Ref. 11, which underestimates broadening close to EF. d Photoemission geometry used both, in experiment and theory: The photon beam is incident along the positive ky direction with 25° towards the surface, magnetization M and polarization P are in-plane along ky
