Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of the Fe-Based Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 high temperature superconductor: evidence for an orbital selective electron-mode coupling.

چکیده
We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the new superconductor Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 in the low energy range. We report the observation of an anomaly around 25 meV in the dispersion of superconducting Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 samples that nearly vanishes above T_{c}. The energy scale of the related mode (13+/-2 meV) and its strong dependence on orbital and temperature indicates that it is unlikely related to phonons. Moreover, the momentum locations of the kink can be connected by the antiferromagnetic wave vector. Our results point towards an unconventional electronic origin of the mode and the superconducting pairing in the Fe-based superconductors, and strongly support the antiphase s-wave pairing symmetry.

Electronic structure of optimally doped pnictide Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2: a comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy investigation.
The electronic structure of the Fe-based superconductor Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe(2)As(2) is studied by means of angle-resolved photoemission. We identify dispersive bands crossing the Fermi level forming hole-like (electron-like) Fermi surfaces (FSs) around Γ (M) with nearly nested FS pockets connected by the antiferromagnetic wavevector. Compared to band structure calculation findings, the overall band...

The three-dimensional band structure and superconducting gap of Ba0.6K0.4Fe2As2 are studied with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. In contrast with previous results, we have identified three holelike Fermi surface sheets near the zone center with sizable out-of-plane or kz dispersion. The superconducting gap on certain Fermi surface sheets shows significant kz dependence. Moreover, the...
متن کاملAnisotropic Electron-Phonon Coupling Uncovered By Angle-Resolved Photoemission
Recently there has been an accumulation of experimental evidence in the high temperature superconductors suggesting the relevance of electron-phonon coupling in these materials. These findings challenge some well-held beliefs of what electron-phonon interactions can and cannot do. In this article we review evidence primarily from angleresolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements which point out ...
متن کاملStrength of the spin-fluctuation-mediated pairing interaction in a high-temperature superconductor
Theories based on the coupling between spin fluctuations and fermionic quasiparticles are among the leading contenders to explain the origin of high-temperature superconductivity, but estimates of the strength of this interaction differ widely1. Here, we analyse the chargeand spin-excitation spectra determined by angle-resolved photoemission and inelastic neutron scattering, respectively, on th...
متن کاملA photoemission investigation of the superconducting gap in an electron-doped cuprate superconductor
We have performed angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) on the electron-doped cuprate superconductor Nd Ce CuO . Evidence is found for an anisotropic superconducting gap that is consistent with the existence of a 1.85 0.15 4 d-wave superconducting order parameter in the n-type cuprate superconductors. 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
