Abstract:
These data accompany the manuscript entitled: Anisotropy of the zigzag order in the Kitaev honeycomb magnet alpha-RuBr3 on https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.15658 to be published in Phys. Rev B.
These files are related to torque data measured using a 16T PPMS. The data were collected as a function of angles, magnetic field and temperature.
Additional data originate from theoretical calculations as described in the manuscript.
Evolution of the Fermi surface of the nematic superconductors FeSe1-xSx
npj Quantum Materials Nature Research (part of Springer Nature)
Abstract:
We investigate the evolution of the Fermi surfaces and electronic interactions across the nematic phase transition in single crystals of FeSe1-xSx using Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in high magnetic fields up to 45 tesla in the low temperature regime. The unusually small and strongly elongated Fermi surface of FeSe increases monotonically with chemical pressure, x, due to the suppression of the in-plane anisotropy except for the smallest orbit which suffers a Lifshitz-like transition once nematicity disappears. Even outside the nematic phase the Fermi surface continues to increase, in stark contrast to the reconstructed Fermi surface detected in FeSe under applied external pressure. We detect signatures of orbital-dependent quasiparticle mass renomalization suppressed for those orbits with dominant dxz=yz character, but unusually enhanced for those orbits with dominant dxy character. The lack of enhanced superconductivity outside the nematic phase in FeSe1-xSx suggest that nematicity may not play the essential role in enhancing Tc in these systems.
Resurgence of superconductivity and the role of dxy hole band in FeSe1−xTex
Communications Physics volume 6, Article number: 362
Abstract:
Iron-chalcogenide superconductors display rich phenomena caused by orbital-dependent band shifts and electronic correlations. Additionally, they are potential candidates for topological superconductivity due to the band inversion between the Fe d bands and the chalcogen pz band. Here we present a detailed study of the electronic structure of the nematic superconductors FeSe1−xTex (0 < x < 0.4) using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to understand the role of orbital-dependent band shifts, electronic correlations and the chalcogen band. We assess the changes in the effective masses using a three-band low energy model, and the band renormalization via comparison with DFT band structure calculations. The effective masses decrease for all three-hole bands inside the nematic phase, followed by a strong increase for the band with dxy orbital character. Interestingly, this nearly-flat dxy band becomes more correlated as it shifts towards the Fermi level with increasing Te concentrations and as the second superconducting dome emerges. Our findings suggests that the dxy hole band, which is very sensitive to the chalcogen height, could be involved in promoting an additional pairing channel and increasing the density of states to stabilize the second superconducting dome in FeSe1−xTex. This simultaneous shift of the dxy hole band and enhanced superconductivity is in contrast with FeSe1−xSx.
