High Resolution Compton Scattering as a Probe of the Fermi Surface in the Iron-based Superconductor LaO1−xFxFeAs
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 profiles, and discuss issues related to the observation of these features via Compton scattering experiments.

Correlated electronic structure of LaO1-xFxFeAs.
We compute the electronic structure, momentum resolved spectral function and optical conductivity of the new superconductor LaO1-xFxFeAs within the combination of the density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory. We find that the compound in the normal state is a strongly correlated metal and the parent compound is a bad metal at the verge of the metal insulator transition. We argu...

This article investigates into the feasibility of using gamma radiation Compton backscatter spectra as a means of material characterization, with the view to developing a portable, hand held probe for investigative purposes such as searching for illicit substances hidden in wall or car door cavities.
متن کاملAbsence of a holelike fermi surface for the iron-based K0.8F1.7Se2 superconductor revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the new iron-based superconductor K(0.8)Fe(1.7)Se(2) (T(c)∼30 K). Clear band dispersion is observed with the overall bandwidth renormalized by a factor of 2.5 compared to our local density approximation calculations, indicating relatively strong correlation effects. Only an electronlike band crosses the Fermi energy, formin...
متن کاملAnomalous He-gas high-pressure studies on superconducting LaO1−xFxFeAs
Ac susceptibility measurements have been carried out on superconducting LaO1−xFxFeAs for x = 0.07 and 0.14 under He-gas pressures to ∼0.8GPa. Not only do the measured values of dTc/dP differ substantially from those obtained in previous studies using other pressure media, but also the Tc(P) dependences observed depend on the detailed pressure/temperature history of the sample. A sizeable sensit...
متن کاملMultiband magnetism and superconductivity in Fe-based compounds
Recent discovery of superconductivity in Fe-based layered compounds may have opened a new pathway to the room temperature superconductivity. A model Hamiltonian describing FeAs layers is introduced, highlighting the crucial role of puckering of As atoms in promoting d electron itinerancy and warding off large local-moment magnetism of Fe ions, the main enemy of superconductivity. Quantum many-p...
