    Luttinger liquid ARPES spectra from samples of Li0.9_{0.9}Mo6_6O17_{17} grown by the temperature gradient flux technique

    Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy line shapes measured for quasi-one-dimensional Li0.9_{0.9}Mo6_6O17_{17} samples grown by a temperature gradient flux technique are found to show Luttinger liquid behavior, consistent with all previous data by us and other workers obtained from samples grown by the electrolyte reduction technique. This result eliminates the sample growth method as a possible origin of considerable differences in photoemission data reported in previous studies of Li0.9_{0.9}Mo6_6O17_{17}.Comment: Some text adde

    Photoemission view of electron fractionalization in quasi-one dimensional metal Li0.9_{0.9}Mo6_6O17_{17}

    Full text link
    We report Luttinger liquid line shapes better revealed by new angle resolved photoemission data taken with a much improved angle resolution on a quasi-1-dimensional metal Li0.9_{0.9}Mo6_6O17_{17}. The new data indicate a larger spinon velocity than our previous lower resolution data indicated.Comment: submitted to SCES '0

    We report angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) spectra of η\eta-Mo4_4O11_{11}, a layered metal that undergoes two charge density wave (CDW) transitions at 109 K and 30 K. We have directly observed the ``hidden one-dimensional (hidden-1d)'' Fermi surface and an anisotropic gap opening associated with the 109 K transition, in agreement with the band theoretical description of the CDW transition. In addition, as in other hidden-1d materials such as NaMo6_6O17_{17}, the ARPES line shapes show certain anomalies, which we discuss in terms of non-Fermi liquid physics and possible roles of disorder.Comment: 3 figures; Erratum added to include missed reference

    Extremely Correlated Fermi Liquid Description of Normal State ARPES in Cuprates

    Full text link
    The normal state single particle spectral function of the high temperature superconducting cuprates, measured by the angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), has been considered both anomalous and crucial to understand. Here we show that an unprecedentedly detailed description of the data is provided by a spectral function arising from the Extremely Correlated Fermi Liquid state of the t-J model proposed recently by Shastry. The description encompasses both laser and conventional synchrotron ARPES data on optimally doped Bi2_2Sr2_2CaCu2_2O8+δ_{8+\delta}, and also conventional synchrotron ARPES data on the La1.85_{1.85}Sr0.15_{0.15}CuO4_4 materials. {\em It fits all data sets with the same physical parameter values}, satisfies the particle sum rule and successfully addresses two widely discussed "kink" anomalies in the dispersion.Comment: Published version, 5 figs; published 29 July (2011

    Generalized Spectral Signatures of Electron Fractionalization in Quasi-One and -Two Dimensional Molybdenum Bronzes and Superconducting Cuprates

    Full text link
    We establish the quasi-one-dimensional Li purple bronze as a photoemission paradigm of Luttinger liquid behavior. We also show that generalized signatures of electron fractionalization are present in the angle resolved photoemission spectra for quasi-two-dimensional purple bronzes and certain cuprates. An important component of our analysis for the quasi-two-dimensional systems is the proposal of a ``melted holon'' scenario for the k-independent background that accompanies but does not interact with the peaks that disperse to define the Fermi surface.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
