- ItemTime-reversal symmetry breaking type-II Weyl state in YbMnBi2(London : Nature Publishing Group, 2019) Borisenko, S.; Evtushinsky, D.; Gibson, Q.; Yaresko, A.; Koepernik, K.; Kim, T.; Ali, M.; van den Brink, J.; Hoesch, M.; Fedorov, A.; Haubold, E.; Kushnirenko, Y.; Soldatov, I.; Schäfer, R.; Cava, R.J.Spectroscopic detection of Dirac and Weyl fermions in real materials is vital for both, promising applications and fundamental bridge between high-energy and condensed-matter physics. While the presence of Dirac and noncentrosymmetric Weyl fermions is well established in many materials, the magnetic Weyl semimetals still escape direct experimental detection. In order to find a time-reversal symmetry breaking Weyl state we design two materials and present here experimental and theoretical evidence of realization of such a state in one of them, YbMnBi2. We model the time-reversal symmetry breaking observed by magnetization and magneto-optical microscopy measurements by canted antiferromagnetism and find a number of Weyl points. Using angle-resolved photoemission, we directly observe two pairs of Weyl points connected by the Fermi arcs. Our results not only provide a fundamental link between the two areas of physics, but also demonstrate the practical way to design novel materials with exotic properties.
- ItemSurface and bulk electronic structure of the unconventional superconductor Sr2RuO4: Unusual splitting of the β band(Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2012) Zabolotnyy, V.B.; Carleschi, E.; Kim, T.K.; Kordyuk, A.A.; Trinckauf, J.; Geck, J.; Evtushinsky, D.; Doyle, B.P.; Fittipaldi, R.; Cuoco, M.; Vecchione, A.; Büchner, B.; Borisenko, S.V.We present an angle-resolved photoemission study of the surface and bulk electronic structure of the single layer ruthenate Sr2RuO4. As the early studies by photoemission and scanning tunneling microscopy were confronted with a problem of surface reconstruction, surface ageing was previously proposed as a possible remedy to access the bulk states. Here, we suggest an alternative way by demonstrating that, in the case of Sr2RuO4, circularly polarized light can be used to disentangle the signals from the bulk and surface layers, thus opening the possibility to investigate many-body interactions both in bulk and surface bands. The proposed procedure results in improved momentum resolution, which enabled us to detect an unexpected splitting of the surface β band. We discuss the origin of the splitting of the β band and the possible connection with the Rashba effect at the surface.
