We present a soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of overdoped high-temperature superconductors. In-plane and out-of-plane components the Fermi surface are mapped by varying angle incident photon energy. No ${k}_{z}$ dispersion is observed along nodal direction, whereas significant antinodal identified for La-based cuprates. Based on tight-binding parametrization, we discuss implications density states near van Hove singularity. Our results suggest that large electronic...

In the hole-doped cuprates, a small amount of carriers suppresses antiferromagnetism and induces superconductivity. electron-doped on other hand, superconductivity appears only in narrow range high electron concentration ($\sim$ doped Ce content) after reduction annealing, strong antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlation persists superconducting phase. Recently, Pr$_{1.3-x}$La$_{0.7}$Ce$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ (PLCCO) bulk single crystals annealed by "protect annealing" method showed $T_c$ $\sim$ 27 K for...

Abstract The transition temperature T c of unconventional superconductivity is often tunable. For a monolayer FeSe, for example, the sweet spot uniquely bound to titanium-oxide substrates. By contrast La 2−x Sr x CuO 4 thin films, such substrates are sub-optimal and highest instead obtained using LaSrAlO . An outstanding challenge thus understand optimal conditions in films: which microscopic parameters drive change how can we tune them? Here demonstrate, by combination x-ray absorption...

Abstract The minimal ingredients to explain the essential physics of layered copper-oxide (cuprates) materials remains heavily debated. Effective low-energy single-band models copper–oxygen orbitals are widely used because there exists no strong experimental evidence supporting multi-band structures. Here, we report angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy experiments on La-based cuprates that provide direct observation a two-band structure. This electronic structure, qualitatively...

The utilization of orbital transport provides a versatile and efficient spin manipulation mechanism. As interest in orbital-mediated grows, we face new issue to identify the underlying physics that determines efficiency torque (OT). In this study, systematically investigate variation OT governed by Rashba-Edelstein effect at Cu/oxide interface, as change oxide material. We find varies factor $\ensuremath{\sim}2$, depending on oxide. Our results suggest active electronic interatomic...

After a thorough examination reaction, gained insight underlying mechanisms and found use provides two key benefits: accelerated borophene isolation high-purity products. This has potential pave way novel topological 2D materials...

Static stripe order is detrimental to superconductivity. Yet, it has been proposed that transverse fluctuations may enhance the inter-stripe Josephson coupling and thus promote Direct experimental studies of dynamics, however, remain difficult. From a strong-coupling perspective, are realized in form dynamic "kinks"-sideways shifting sections. Here, we show how modest uniaxial pressure tuning reorganizes directional kink alignment.

Abstract Van Hove singularities (VHss) in the vicinity of Fermi energy often play a dramatic role physics strongly correlated electron materials. The divergence density states generated by VHss can trigger emergence phases such as superconductivity, ferromagnetism, metamagnetism, and wave orders. A detailed understanding electronic structure these is therefore essential for an accurate description instabilities. Here, we study low-energy trilayer strontium ruthenate Sr 4 Ru 3 O 10 ,...

We use resonant inelastic x-ray scattering to investigate charge-stripe correlations in La$_{1.675}$Eu$_{0.2}$Sr$_{0.125}$CuO$_4$. By differentiating elastic from scattering, it is demonstrated that precede both the structural low-temperature tetragonal phase and transport-defined pseudogap onset. The peak amplitude charge stripes decays approximately as $T^{-2}$ towards our detection limit. in-plane integrated intensity, however, remains roughly temperature independent. Therefore, although...

The anomalous Hall {\color{black} e}ffect (AHE) has emerged as a key indicator of time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB) and topological features in electronic band structures. Absent magnetic field, the AHE requires spontaneous TRSB but proven hard to probe due averaging over domains. component effect is thus frequently derived from extrapolating field dependence response. We show that discerning whether an intrinsic property free system becomes intricate presence strong fluctuations....
