Semiconducting Electronic Structure of the Ferromagnetic Spinel Revealed by Soft-X-Ray Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
We study the electronic structure of the ferromagnetic spinel
by soft-x-ray angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) and first-principles calculations. While
a theoretical study has predicted that this material is a magnetic Weyl
semimetal, SX-ARPES measurements give direct evidence for a semiconducting
state in the ferromagnetic phase. Band calculations based on the density
functional theory with hybrid functionals reproduce the experimentally
determined band gap value, and the calculated band dispersion matches well with
ARPES experiments. We conclude that the theoretical prediction of a Weyl
semimetal state in underestimates the
band gap, and this material is a ferromagnetic semiconductor.Comment: 6+13 pages, 4+13 figure
Single-Crystal Pentacene Valence-Band Dispersion and Its Temperature Dependence
The
electronic structures
of the highest occupied molecular orbital
(HOMO) or the HOMO-derived valence bands dominate the transport nature
of positive charge carriers (holes) in organic semiconductors. In
the present study, the valence-band structures of single-crystal pentacene
and the temperature dependence of their energy–momentum dispersion
relations are successfully demonstrated using angle-resolved ultraviolet
photoelectron spectroscopy (ARUPS). For the shallowest valence band,
the intermolecular transfer integral and effective mass of the holes
are evaluated as 43.1 meV and 3.43 times the electron rest mass, respectively,
at room temperature along the crystallographic direction for which
the widest energy dispersion is expected. The temperature dependence
of the ARUPS results reveals that the transfer integral values (hole
effective mass) are enhanced (reduced) by ∼20% on cooling the
sample to 110 K
Large anomalous Hall effect induced by weak ferromagnetism in the noncentrosymmetric antiferromagnet CoNb3 S6
© 2022 American Physical Society.We study the mechanism of the exceptionally large anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in the noncentrosymmetric antiferromagnet CoNb3S6 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and magnetotransport measurements. From ARPES measurements of CoNb3S6 and its family compounds (FeNb3S6 and NiNb3S6), we find a band dispersion unique to the Co intercalation existing near the Fermi level. We further demonstrate that a slight deficiency of sulfur in CoNb3S6 eliminates the ferromagnetism and the AHE simultaneously while hardly changing the band structure, indicating that the weak ferromagnetism is responsible for the emergence of the large AHE. Based on our results, we propose Weyl points near the Fermi level to cause the large AHE.11Nsciescopu
