Orbital characters of bands in the iron-based superconductor BaFe1.85Co0.15As2

چکیده
The unconventional superconductivity in the newly discovered iron-based superconductors is intimately related to its multiband/multiorbital nature. Here we report the comprehensive orbital characters of the low-energy three-dimensional electronic structure in BaFe 1.85 Co 0.15 As 2 by studying the polarization and photon-energy dependence of angle-resolved photoemission data. While the distributions of the d xz , d yz , and d 3z 2 −r 2 orbitals agree with the prediction of density functional theory, those of the d xy and d x 2 −y 2 orbitals show remarkable disagreement with theory. Our results point out the inadequacy of the existing band structure calculations and, more importantly, provide a foundation for constructing the correct microscopic model of iron pnictides.

Abstract Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society Orbital characters of the iron-pnictides1
Submitted for the MAR11 Meeting of The American Physical Society Orbital characters of the iron-pnictides1 DONGLAI FENG, Fudan University — The orbital degree of freedom plays an important role in the physics of iron-based high-temperature superconductors and their parent compounds. For example, possible orbital ordering has been associated with the spin density wave, and we recently found that...
متن کاملThree dimensionality and orbital characters of the Fermi surface in (Tl,Rb)(y)Fe(2-x)Se2.
We report a comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the tridimensional electronic bands in the recently discovered Fe selenide superconductor ((Tl,Rb)(y)Fe(2-x)Se2 (T(c)=32 K). We determined the orbital characters and the k(z) dependence of the low energy electronic structure by tuning the polarization and the energy of the incident photons. We observed a small 3D elec...
متن کاملOptical properties of the iron arsenic superconductor BaFe1.85Co0.15As2
The transport and complex optical properties of the electron-doped iron-arsenic superconductor BaFe1.85Co0.15As2 with Tc=25 K have been examined in the Fe-As planes above and below Tc. A BlochGrüneisen analysis of the resistivity yields a weak electron-phonon coupling constant ph 0.2. The lowfrequency optical response in the normal state appears to be dominated by the electron pocket and may be...
متن کاملTheory of Andreev reflection in a two-orbital model of iron-pnictide superconductors
A recently developed theory for the problem of Andreev reflection between a normal metal (N) and a multiband superconductor (MBS) assumes that the incident wave from the normal metal is coherently transmitted through several bands inside the superconductor. Such splitting of the probability amplitude into several channels is the analogue of a quantum waveguide. Thus, the appropriate matching co...

In this research, we aim to clarify the relationship between the structural distortion due to doping and the superconductivity existence in the FeAs4 structure. For this, we have prepared polycrystalline of NdFeAsO0.8F0.2, NdFeAs0.95Sb0.05O0.8F0.2 and Nd0.99Ca0.01FeAsO0.8F0.2 samples by one-step solid state reaction method. The structural and electrical properties of the samples were characteri...
