High Resolution Compton Scattering as a Probe of the Fermi Surface in the Iron-based Superconductor LaO1−xFxFeAs
We have carried out first-principles all-electron calculations of the (001)-projected 2D electron momentum density and the directional Compton profiles along the [100], [001] and [110] directions in the Fe-based superconductor LaOFeAs within the framework of the local density approximation. We identify Fermi surface features in the 2D electron momentum density and the directional Compton profil...
متن کاملTemperature-dependent orbital degree of freedom of a bilayer manganite by magnetic compton scattering.
We have measured temperature-dependent magnetic Compton profiles (MCPs) from a single crystal of La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7. The MCPs, which involved the scattering of circularly polarized x rays, are in general related to the momentum density of all the unpaired spins in the system. Nevertheless, we show that when the x-ray scattering vector lies along the [110] direction, the number of magnetic electron...
متن کاملInelastic magnetic X-ray scattering from highly correlated electron systems: La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7, La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 and Fe3O4
Magnetic Compton profiles have been measured for the colossal magnetoresistance manganites La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 and La0.7Sr0.3MnO3, and for magnetite Fe3O4, along various crystallographic directions, over a wide range of temperatures and magnetic fields. The experimental results are interpreted via first-principles computations for the double layer manganite, La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7, and by using a simple m...
متن کاملExtracting d-orbital occupancy from magnetic Compton scattering in bilayer manganites
We consider the shape of the magnetic Compton profile (MCP), Jmag(pz), in La1.2Sr1.8Mn2O7 for momentum transfer pz along the [110] direction and the associated reciprocal form factor B(r) defined by taking the one-dimensional Fourier transform of Jmag(pz). B(r) is shown to contain a prominent dip at rz1 Å, where the minimum value Bmin of B(r) can be related to the occupancies of the eg orbitals...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional folding technique for enhancing Fermi surface signatures in the momentum density: Application to Compton scattering data from an Al-3 at. % Li disordered alloy
We present a technique for enhancing Fermi surface ~FS! signatures in the two-dimensional ~2D! distribution obtained after the 3D momentum density in a crystal is projected along a specific direction in momentum space. These results are useful for investigating fermiology via high-resolution Compton scattering and positron annihilation spectroscopies. We focus on the particular case of the ~110...
