Using this transfer technique, ARPES experiments were performed to investigate the effects of nickel alloying on the electronic band structure. An electron pocket is observed below the Fermi level at the bulk X point for compositions x > 0.1, in accordance with the crossover from semiconducting to metallic behavior observed in the transport measurements.
