Angle-resolved photoemission study of untwinned PrBaCuO: undoped CuO plane and doped CuO chain
We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission study on untwinned
PrBaCuO, which has low resistivity but does not show
superconductivity. We have observed a dispersive feature with a band maximum
around (/2,/2), indicating that this band is derived from the undoped
CuO plane. We have observed another dispersive band exhibiting
one-dimensional character, which we attribute to signals from the doped CuO
chain. The overall band dispersion of the one-dimensional band agrees with the
prediction of model calculation with parameters relevant to cuprates
except that the intensity near the Fermi level is considerably suppressed in
the experiment.Comment: 6 pages, 10 figure
Angle-resolved photoemission study of insulating and metallic Cu-O chains in PrBaCuO and PrBaCuO
We compare the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of the hole-doped Cu-O
chains in PrBaCuO (Pr123) and in PrBaCuO (Pr124).
While, in Pr123, a dispersive feature from the chain takes a band maximum at
(momentum along the chain) and loses its spectral weight
around the Fermi level, it reaches the Fermi level at in
Pr124. Although the chains in Pr123 and Pr124 are approximately 1/4-filled,
they show contrasting behaviors: While the chains in Pr123 have an instability
to charge ordering, those in Pr124 avoid it and show an interesting spectral
feature of a metallic coupled-chain system.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, to be published in PR
