- ItemLinkage between scattering rates and superconductivity in doped ferropnictides(Woodbury, NY : Inst., 2021) Fink, J.; Rienks, E.D.L.; Yao, M.; Kurleto, R.; Bannies, J.; Aswartham, S.; Morozov, I.; Wurmehl, S.; Wolf, T.; Hardy, F.; Meingast, C.; Jeevan, H.S.; Maiwald, J.; Gegenwart, P.; Felser, C.; Buechner, B.We report an angle-resolved photoemission study of a series of hole- and electron-doped iron-based superconductors, their parent compound BaFe2As2, and their cousins BaCr2As2 and BaCo2As2. We focus on the inner hole pocket, which is the hot spot in these compounds. More specifically, we determine the energy (E)-dependent scattering rate Γ(E) as a function of the 3d count. Moreover, for the compounds K0.4Ba0.6Fe2As2 and BaCr2As2, we derive the energy dependence of the renormalization function Z(E) and the imaginary part of the self-energy function ImΣ(E). We obtain a non-Fermi liquidlike linear in energy scattering rate Γ(E≫kBT), independent of the dopant concentration. The main result is that the slope β=Γ(E≫kBT)/E reaches its maxima near optimal doping and scales with the superconducting transition temperature. This supports the spin fluctuation model for superconductivity for these materials. In the optimally hole-doped compound, the slope of the scattering rate of the inner hole pocket is about three times bigger than the Planckian limit Γ(E)/E≈1. This result, together with the energy dependence of the renormalization function Z(E), signals very incoherent charge carriers in the normal state which transform at low temperatures to a coherent unconventional superconducting state.
- ItemElectron–phonon coupling in 122 Fe pnictides analyzed by femtosecond time-resolved photoemission(Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2013) Rettig, L.; Cortés, R.; Jeevan, H.S.; Gegenwart, P.; Wolf, T.; Fink, J.; Bovensiepen, U.Based on the results from femtosecond time-resolved photoemission, we compare three different methods for the determination of the electron–phonon coupling constant λ in Eu- and Ba-based 122 FeAs compounds. We find good agreement between all three methods, which reveal a small λ < 0.2. This makes simple electron–phonon-mediated superconductivity unlikely in these compounds.
- ItemDoping dependence and electron–boson coupling in the ultrafast relaxation of hot electron populations in Ba(Fe1–x Co x )2As2(Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2016) Avigo, I.; Thirupathaiah, S.; Ligges, M.; Wolf, T.; Fink, J.; Bovensiepen, U.Using femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we investigate the effect of electron doping on the electron dynamics in $\mathrm{Ba}{({\mathrm{Fe}}_{1-x}{\mathrm{Co}}_{x})}_{2}{\mathrm{As}}_{2}$ in a range of $0\leqslant x\lt 0.15$ at temperatures slightly above the Néel temperature. By analyzing the time-dependent photoemission intensity of the pump laser excited population as a function of energy, we found that the relaxation times at $0\lt E-{E}_{{\rm{F}}}\lt 0.2\,\mathrm{eV}$ are doping dependent and about 100 fs shorter at optimal doping than for overdoped and parent compounds. Analysis of the relaxation rates also reveals the presence of a pump fluence dependent step in the relaxation time at $E-{E}_{{\rm{F}}}=200\,\mathrm{meV}$ which we explain by coupling of the excited electronic system to a boson of this energy. We compare our results with static ARPES and transport measurements and find disagreement and agreement concerning the doping-dependence, respectively. We discuss the effect of the electron–boson coupling on the energy-dependent relaxation and assign the origin of the boson to a magnetic excitation.
