Abstract

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy was carried out on (La 1.28 Nd 0.6 Sr 0.12 )CuO 4 , a model system of the charge- and spin-ordered state, or stripe phase. The electronic structure contains characteristic features consistent with other cuprates, such as the flat band at low energy near the Brillouin zone face. However, the low-energy excitation near the expected d -wave node region is strongly suppressed. The frequency-integrated spectral weight is confined inside one-dimensional segments in the momentum space (defined by horizontal momenta | k x | = π/4 and vertical momenta | k y | = π/4), deviating strongly from the more rounded Fermi surface expected from band calculations. This departure from the two-dimensional Fermi surface persists to a very high energy scale. These results provide important information for establishing a theory to understand the charge and spin ordering in cuprates and their relation with high-temperature superconductivity.

  29. The ARPES data were recorded at the beamline 10.0.1.1 of the Advanced Light Source. Fifty-five–electron volt photon energy was used for more efficient k -space sampling. With the use of the angular mode of the Scienta analyzer the momentum resolution was 0.02π. The energy resolution was detuned from its optimal 7 meV to 16 meV so that a few thousand spectra with sufficient statistics could be obtained during the lifetime of a cleaved surface. For example the 500 spectra presented in Fig. 1 of this paper were recorded within the first 3 hours after the cleaving; the results are robust from cleave to cleave. The vacuum during the measurement was ∼2 to 5 × 10 −11 torr. LEED experiments were performed to check the surface structure yielding the expected four-fold symmetry. The Nd-LSCO sample was grown with the traveling floating zone method. The same class of samples has been used for neutron-scattering experiments (3).
  30. The angular mode of the analyzer allows us to cover nearly a whole quadrant along k x with 48 points at the same time which correspond to the spectra in Fig. 1 A to J; the whole BZ is then measured by taking various k y cuts.
  31. Here the “occupied” area means that the occupation probability is high. In an interacting system n ( k ) will not be zero even in the region where the “band” is above the Fermi level.

  40. From the outset we note that this gapping effect is not caused by the extrinsic loss mechanism suggested recently [
  41. 10.1126/science.284.5415.777
  42. ] which cannot explain the angular dependence of the gap. In this case the smallest gap is 5 meV or less further suggesting that the extrinsic loss mechanism is not an issue here.
  43. Although no data for | k y | = 0.25π are available because the dispersion with k y is very minimal the | k y | = 0.15π result is a good indicator of the gap.
