Get Started with PyARPES

In most case, you can start with

import arpes

Loading example data

At this point, you should be able to load the example data, an ARPES spectrum of the topological insulator bismuth selenide:

import arpes
from arpes.io import load_example_data
load_example_data()

Loading your own data

If you have the path to a piece of data you want to load as well as the data source it comes from (see the section on plugins for more detail), you can load it with arpes.io.load_without_dataset:

import arpes
from arpes.io import load_data
load_data('epath/to/my/data.h5', location='ALS-BL7')

What’s next?

With the example data in hand, you can jump into the rest of the examples on the site. If you’re a visual learner or are new to Jupyter and are running into issues, have a look at the tutorial videos. Another good place to start is on the section for exploration of ARPES data.
