We have investigated the formation of heavy d electron quasiparticles in Sr₃Ru₂O₇ by analysing the dispersion of the low-energy states around the high symmetry points Γ and X of the first Brillouin zone. This study was performed at the BESSY 1³ ARPES endstation. We report the existence of flat bands giving rise to van Hove singularities (vHS) in the DOS in closed proximity to the Fermi level, associated to the γ₂, α₂ and δ Fermi surface sheets. These vHS are deemed to be responsible for the appearance of the multiple metamagnetism observed in the system. Our results also show signatures of strong correlation effects characterised by the peak-dip-hump line shape of the dispersive states. Finally, we have noted the presence of bands not predicted by electronic structure calculations, which might be band replicas ascribed to the reconstruction of the sample surface.
