Cuprate-like Electronic Structures in Infinite-Layer Nickelates with 3D dispersion
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The discovery of superconductivity in the infinite-layer (IL) nickelates
provides a new platform and angle of view to study the long-standing problem of
high temperature superconductivity . Many models were proposed to understand
its superconducting mechanisms based on the calculated electronic structure,
and the multiple Fermi surfaces and multiple orbitals involved create
complications and controversial conclusions. Over the past 5 years, the lack of
direct measurements of the electronic structure has hindered the understanding
of nickelate superconductors. Here, we fill this gap by preparing IL LaNiO_2
and La_0.8Ca_0.2NiO_2 thin films with superior surface quality and
measuring their electronic structure by angle-resolved photoemission
spectroscopy (ARPES).The Fermi surface consists of a large three-dimensional
hole pocket primarily contributed by Ni-3d_x^2-y^2 states, and a small
electron pocket at the Brillouin zone (BZ) corner. The hole pocket exhibits a
two-dimensional character over approximately 80
Fermi surface topology and band dispersion closely resemble those observed in
hole-doped cuprates, suggesting their superconducting mechanisms may be alike.
Yet this hole pocket shows strong three-dimensional character near k_z=π,
which deviates from previous calculations and adds new facets to the
superconductivity in IL nickelates. The experimental electronic structure
represents a pivotal step toward a microscopic understanding of the IL
nickelate family and its superconductivity.
