摘要:

利用角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)研究了铁磁La $_{2-2x}$ Sr $_{1+2x}$ Mn $_2$ O $_7$($x=0.38$)的电子能带结构和费米面.除了预期的两个空穴口袋和一个电子口袋的多数自旋$e_g$电子,我们显示了一个额外的电子口袋周围的$Γ$点。与第一性原理自旋极化能带结构计算的比较表明,额外的电子口袋来自少数自旋特征的$t_{2g}$电子,表明该化合物不是一个完整的半金属铁磁体,与轻掺杂立方锰氧化物类似的预期。然而,我们的数据表明,一个完整的半金属状态是可能达到的,只要带宽是温和的减少。此外,ARPES的带分辨能力,使我们能够研究不同的实验条件下的自旋极化的能带结构的影响。

英文摘要:

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we investigate the electronic band structure and Fermi surface of ferromagnetic La$_{2-2x}$Sr$_{1+2x}$Mn$_2$O$_7$ ($x=0.38$). Besides the expected two hole pockets and one electron pocket of majority-spin $e_g$ electrons, we show an extra electron pocket around the $Γ$ point. A comparison with first-principles spin-polarized band-structure calculations shows that the extra electron pocket arises from $t_{2g}$ electrons of minority-spin character, indicating this compound is not a complete half-metallic ferromagnet, with similar expectations for lightly-doped cubic manganites. However, our data suggest that a complete half-metallic state is likely to be reached as long as the bandwidth is mildly reduced. Moreover, the band-resolved capability of ARPES enables us to investigate the band structure effects on spin polarization for different experimental conditions.
