摘要:

Sr $_2$ IrO $_4$是自旋-轨道莫特绝缘体的原型,但是从这种绝缘体中可能出现的金属态的性质仍然不是很清楚。我们用角分辨光电子能谱研究了Sr $_2$ Ir $_{1-x}$ Rh $_x$ O $_4$中当Ir被Rh取代时(0.02 < $x$ < 0.35)所观察到的绝缘体-金属转变。Rh掺杂的独创性在于形式上等价的Ir和Rh采用不同的电荷状态,这是一种相当不寻常和不均匀的情况。我们发现,演变到金属态,基本上可以理解为费米能级的移动到较低的哈伯德带的Sr $_2$ IrO $_4$。Mott带隙对引入高达$\sim$ 20\%的空穴非常不敏感。对于$x$ > 0.07形成的金属相不是费米液体。它的特点是没有准粒子,未重整化带色散相比,计算和$\sim$ 30 meV的赝能隙的整个费米面。

英文摘要:

Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ is the archetype of the spin-orbit Mott insulator, but the nature of the metallic states that may emerge from this type of insulator is still not very well known. We study with angle-resolved photoemission the insulator-to-metal transition observed in Sr$_2$Ir$_{1-x}$Rh$_x$O$_4$ when Ir is substituted by Rh (0.02 < $x$ < 0.35). The originality of the Rh doping is that Ir and Rh, which are formally isovalent, adopt different charge states, a rather unusual and inhomogeneous situation. We show that the evolution to the metallic state can be essentially understood as a shift of the Fermi level into the lower Hubbard band of Sr$_2$IrO$_4$. The Mott gap appears quite insensitive to the introduction of up to $\sim$20\% holes in this band. The metallic phase, which forms for $x$ > 0.07, is not a Fermi liquid. It is characterized by the absence of quasiparticles, unrenormalized band dispersion compared to calculations and an $\sim$30-meV pseudo-gap on the entire Fermi surface.
