چکیده
We used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to investigate the electronic structure and the Fermi surface of EuFe2As2, EuFe2As1.4P0.6 and EuFe2P2. We observed doubled core level peaks associated with the pnictide atoms. Using K atoms evaporated at the surface to affect the surface quality, we show that one component of these doubled peaks is related to a surface state. Nevertheless, strong electronic dispersion along the c-axis, especially pronounced in EuFe2P2, is observed for at least one band, thus indicating that the Fe states, albeit probably affected at the surface, do not form pure two-dimensional surface states. We determine the evolution of the Fermi surface as a function of the P content and reveal that the hole Fermi surface pockets enlarge with increasing P content. We also show that the spectral weight near the Fermi level of EuFe2P2 is reduced as compared to that of EuFe2As2 and EuFe2As1.4P0.6. Finally, we identify the electronic states associated with the Eu(2+) f states and show an anomalous jump in EuFe2P2.

Bulk electronic structure of the dilute magnetic semiconductor Ga(1-x)Mn(x)As through hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission.
A detailed understanding of the origin of the magnetism in dilute magnetic semiconductors is crucial to their development for applications. Using hard X-ray angle-resolved photoemission (HARPES) at 3.2 keV, we investigate the bulk electronic structure of the prototypical dilute magnetic semiconductor Ga(0.97)Mn(0.03)As, and the reference undoped GaAs. The data are compared to theory based on th...
متن کاملThe Angle Resolved Photoemission Pseudogap and Anomalous Background of Underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ as Evidence for a Fermi Level Band Crossing
We show that the unusual observations of a pseudogap in the normal state of underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (BiSCO) using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is consistent with a new band structure for the cuprate superconductors in which the x − y and z bands are seen to cross at the Fermi level. Limitations in the experimental method prevent the narrow 3D z band from being fully reso...
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...

Direct observation of the mass renormalization in SrVO3 by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
Band dispersions and Fermi surfaces of the three-dimensional Mott-Hubbard system SrVO3 are directly observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. An observed spectral weight distribution near the Fermi level (E(F)) shows cylindrical Fermi surfaces as predicted by band-structure calculations. By comparing the experimental results with calculated surface electronic structures, we conclud...
