摘要:

在源自莫特绝缘体的相关金属中,电子的运动受到其他电子的库仑排斥的阻碍。这种现象导致电子的动能显著降低,从而导致光谱学中的显著实验表现。高温超导铜氧化物可能是此类相关金属中研究最多的例子。在铁磷属元素化物的高Tc超导性的发生把聚光灯的相关性在这些材料中的影响。本文对磷属铁族化合物超导体LaFePO单晶进行了红外和光学研究。我们发现了明确的证据,在金属LaFePO与电子的动能减少到近自由电子的能带理论预测的一半的电子相关性。这里报道的强电子多体效应的标志是重要的,因为铁pnictides暴露了一个新的途径,相关的电子状态,不明确涉及莫特过渡。

英文摘要:

In correlated metals derived from Mott insulators, the motion of an electron is impeded by Coulomb repulsion due to other electrons. This phenomenon causes a substantial reduction in the electron's kinetic energy leading to remarkable experimental manifestations in optical spectroscopy. The high-Tc superconducting cuprates are perhaps the most studied examples of such correlated metals. The occurrence of high-Tc superconductivity in the iron pnictides puts a spotlight on the relevance of correlation effects in these materials. Here we present an infrared and optical study on single crystals of the iron pnictide superconductor LaFePO. We find clear evidence of electronic correlations in metallic LaFePO with the kinetic energy of the electrons reduced to half of that predicted by band theory of nearly free electrons. Hallmarks of strong electronic many-body effects reported here are important because the iron pnictides expose a new pathway towards a correlated electron state that does not explicitly involve the Mott transition.
