    Strong anisotropy of the electron-phonon interaction in NbP probed by magnetoacoustic quantum oscillations
    (Woodbury, NY : Inst., 2020) Schindler, Clemens; Gorbunov, Denis; Zherlitsyn, Sergei; Galeski, Stanislaw; Schmidt, Marcus; Wosnitza, Jochen; Gooth, Johannes
    In this study, we report on the observation of de Haas-van Alphen-type quantum oscillations (QOs) in the ultrasound velocity of NbP as well as "giant QOs"in the ultrasound attenuation in pulsed magnetic fields. The difference in the QO amplitude for different acoustic modes reveals a strong anisotropy of the effective deformation potential, which we estimate to be as high as 9eV for certain parts of the Fermi surface. Furthermore, the natural filtering of QO frequencies and the tracing of the individual Landau levels to the quantum limit allows for a more detailed investigation of the Fermi surface of NbP, as was previously achieved by means of analyzing QOs observed in magnetization or electrical resistivity. © 2020 authors.

    Fermi surface nesting in several transition metal dichalcogenides
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2008) Inosov, D.S.; Zabolotnyy, V.B.; Evtushinsky, D.V.; Kordyuk, A.A.; Büchner, B.; Follath, R.; Berger, H.; Borisenko, S.V.
    By means of high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES), we have studied the fermiology of 2H transition metal dichalcogenide polytypes TaSe2, NbSe2 and Cu0.2NbS 2. The tight-binding model of the electronic structure, extracted from ARPES spectra for all three compounds, was used to calculate the Lindhard function (bare spin susceptibility), which reflects the propensity to charge density wave (CDW) instabilities observed in TaSe2 and NbSe 2. We show that though the Fermi surfaces of all three compounds possess an incommensurate nesting vector in the close vicinity of the CDW wave vector, the nesting and ordering wave vectors do not exactly coincide, and there is no direct relationship between the magnitude of the susceptibility at the nesting vector and the CDW transition temperature. The nesting vector persists across the incommensurate CDW transition in TaSe2 as a function of temperature despite the observable variations of the Fermi surface geometry in this temperature range. In Cu0.2NbS2, the nesting vector is present despite different doping levels, which leads us to expect a possible enhancement of the CDW instability with Cu intercalation in the Cu xNbS2 family of materials.

    Magnetic-field- and temperature-dependent fermi surface of CeBiPt
    (Milton Park : Taylor & Francis, 2006) Wosnitza, J.; Goll, G.; Bianchi, A.D.; Bergk, B.; Kozlova, N.; Opahle, I.; Elgazzar, S.; Richter, Manuel; Stockert, O.; Löhneysen, H.V.; Yoshino, T.; Takabatake, T.
    The half-Heusler compounds CeBiPt and LaBiPt are semimetals with very low charge-carrier concentrations as evidenced by Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) and Hall-effect measurements. Neutron-scattering results reveal a simple antiferromagnetic structure in CeBiPt below TN = 1.15 K. The band structure of CeBiPt sensitively depends on temperature, magnetic field and stoichiometry. Above a certain, sample-dependent, threshold field (B>25 T), the SdH signal disappears and the Hall coefficient reduces significantly. These effects are absent in the non-4f compound LaBiPt. Electronic-band-structure calculations can well explain the observed behaviour by a 4f-polarization-induced Fermi-surface modification.
