We report on laser-excited angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy in the electron-doped cuprate Sm1.85Ce0.15CuO(4-δ). The data show the existence of a nodal hole-pocket Fermi surface both in the normal and superconducting states. We prove that its origin is long-range antiferromagnetism by an analysis of the coherence factors in the main and folded bands. This coexistence of long-range antiferrmagnetism and superconductivity implies that electron-doped cuprates are two-Fermi-surface superconductors. The measured superconducting gap in the nodal hole pocket is compatible with a d-wave symmetry.

Large magnetoresistance and quantum oscillations in SnPbTe.

J Phys Condens Matter

June 2021

Texas Center for Superconductivity and Department of Physics, University of Houston, 3369 Cullen Boulevard, Houston, TX 77204-5002, United States of America.

We have synthesized high-quality single crystals of SnPbTe and carried out detailed studies of the magnetotransport properties of one of the samples, SnPbTe. Longitudinal magnetoresistance increases almost linearly with increasing applied field () and reaches ∼310% at= 13 T. At higher fields, both longitudinal and Hall resistance show clear Shubnikov de Haas oscillations.

We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements of the quasi-one-dimensional superconductor K_{2}Cr_{3}As_{3}. We find that the Fermi surface contains two Fermi surface sheets, with linearly dispersing bands not displaying any significant band renormalizations. The one-dimensional band dispersions display a suppression of spectral intensity approaching the Fermi level according to a linear power law, over an energy range of ∼200  meV.

Anomalous Fermi-surface dependent pairing in a self-doped high-Tc superconductor.

Phys Rev Lett

We report the discovery of a self-doped multilayer high Tc superconductor Ba2Ca3Cu4O8F2 (F0234) which contains distinctly different superconducting gap magnitudes along its two Fermi-surface sheets. While formal valence counting would imply this material to be an undoped insulator, it is a self-doped superconductor with a Tc of 60 K, possessing simultaneously both electron- and hole-doped Fermi-surface sheets. Intriguingly, the Fermi-surface sheet characterized by the much larger gap is the electron-doped one, which has a shape disfavoring two electronic features considered to be important for the pairing mechanism: the van Hove singularity and the antiferromagnetic (pi/a, pi/a) scattering.
