Direct Observation of Localized Spin Antiferromagnetic Transition in PdCrO2 by Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the first case of the successful measurements of a localized spin antiferromagnetic transition in delafossite-type PdCrO2 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This demonstrates how to circumvent the shortcomings of ARPES for investigation of magnetism involved with localized spins in limited size of two-dimensional crystals or multi-layer thin films that neutron scattering can hardly study due to lack of bulk compared to surface. Also, our observations give direct evidence for the spin ordering pattern of Cr(3+) ions in PdCrO2 suggested by neutron diffraction and quantum oscillation measurements, and provide a strong constraint that has to be satisfied by a microscopic mechanism for the unconventional anomalous Hall effect recently reported in this system.

Direct Spectroscopic Observation of the Energy Gap Formation in the Spin Density Wave Phase Transition at the Cr(110) Surface
The spin density wave phase transition in chromium has been studied by angle-resolved photoemission on a (110) surface. The electronic band structure is shown to exhibit backfolding in the antiferromagnetic state. Direct spectroscopic evidence is obtained on the gradual opening of an energy gap at the Fermi level. The gap extends almost isotropically around the G point, its magnitude reaching 2...
متن کاملElectronic-structure-driven magnetic and structure transitions in superconducting NaFeAs single crystals measured by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
The electronic structure of NaFeAs is studied with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on high quality single crystals. Large portions of the band structure start to shift around the structural transition temperature and smoothly evolve as the temperature lowers through the spin density wave transition. Moreover, band folding due to magnetic order emerges slightly above the structural tra...
متن کاملObservation of a warped helical spin texture in Bi2Se3 from circular dichroism angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
A differential coupling of topological surface states to left- versus right-circularly polarized light is the basis of many optospintronics applications of topological insulators. Here we report direct evidence of circular dichroism from the surface states of Bi(2)Se(3) using laser-based time-of-flight angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. By employing a novel sample rotational analysis, w...
متن کاملAngle resolved photoemission spectroscopy reveals spin charge separation in metallic MoSe2 grain boundary
Material line defects are one-dimensional structures but the search and proof of electron behaviour consistent with the reduced dimension of such defects has been so far unsuccessful. Here we show using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy that twin-grain boundaries in the layered semiconductor MoSe2 exhibit parabolic metallic bands. The one-dimensional nature is evident from a charge dens...
متن کاملUltrafast momentum-dependent response of electrons in antiferromagnetic EuFe2As2 driven by optical excitation.
Employing the momentum sensitivity of time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we demonstrate the analysis of ultrafast single- and many-particle dynamics in antiferromagnetic EuFe(2)As(2). Their separation is based on a temperature-dependent difference of photoexcited hole and electron relaxation times probing the single-particle band and the spin density wave gap, respectively. Ref...
