Light-Induced Renormalization of the Dirac Quasiparticles in the Nodal-Line Semimetal ZrSiSe

Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Marco Grioni, Majed Chergui, Arnaud Magrez, Luca Moreschini, Alberto Crepaldi, Simon Karl Moser, Gianmarco Gatti, Serhii Polishchuk, Michele Puppin

In nodal-line semimetals, linearly dispersing states form Dirac loops in the reciprocal space with a high degree of electron-hole symmetry and a reduced density of states near the Fermi level. The result is reduced electronic screening and enhanced correla ...

Volatile two-dimensional electron gas in ultrathin BaTiO3 films

Marco Grioni, Luca Moreschini, Simon Karl Moser, Sara Fatale

We investigate the metallic surface state in ultrathin films of BaTiO3 by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find Fermi-surface contours derived from the Ti 3d t(2g) conduction band, similar as in SrTiO3 but with broader spectral features due to ...

Strongly bound excitons in anatase TiO2 single crystals and nanoparticles

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Majed Chergui, Arnaud Magrez, Gerald Auböck, Simon Karl Moser, Edoardo Baldini

Anatase TiO2 is among the most studied materials for light-energy conversion applications, but the nature of its fundamental charge excitations is still unknown. Yet it is crucial to establish whether light absorption creates uncorrelated electron-hole pai ...

Hallmarks of Hunds coupling in the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4

Marco Grioni, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Simon Karl Moser, Johan Juul Chang, Claudia Giuseppina Fatuzzo, Gianmarco Gatti

A paradigmatic case of multi-band Mott physics including spin-orbit and Hund's coupling is realized in Ca2RuO4. Progress in understanding the nature of this Mott insulating phase has been impeded by the lack of knowledge about the low-energy electronic str ...

An experimentalist's guide to the matrix element in angle resolved photoemission

Simon Karl Moser

Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is commonly known as a powerful probe of the one-electron removal spectral function in ordered solid state. With increasing efficiency of light sources and spectrometers, experiments over a wide range of em ...

Electronic Phase Separation and Dramatic Inverse Band Renormalization in the Mixed-Valence Cuprate LiCu2O2

Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Luca Moreschini, Simon Karl Moser, Gianmarco Gatti

We measured, by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the electronic structure of LiCu2O2, a mixed-valence cuprate where planes of Cu(I) (3d(10)) ions are sandwiched between layers containing one-dimensional edge-sharing Cu(II) (3d(9)) chains. We find ...

Non-Zhang-Rice Singlet Character of the First Ionization State of T-CuO

Simon Karl Moser

We argue that tetragonal CuO (T-CuO) has the potential to finally settle long-standing modeling issues for cuprate physics. We compare the one-hole quasiparticle (qp) dispersion of T-CuO to that of cuprates, in the framework of the strongly correlated (U-d ...

Hybridization and electron-phonon coupling in ferroelectric BaTiO3 probed by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

Marco Grioni, Simon Karl Moser, Sara Fatale

We investigated the ferroelectric perovskite material BaTiO3 by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ti L-3 edge. We observe with decreasing temperature a transfer of spectral weight from the elastic to the charge-transfer spectral features, i ...

Electron-Phonon Coupling in the Bulk of Anatase TiO2 Measured by Resonant Inelastic X-Ray Spectroscopy

Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Simon Karl Moser, Sara Fatale

We investigate the polaronic ground state of anatase TiO2 by bulk-sensitive resonant inelastic x-ray spectroscopy (RIXS) at the Ti L-3 edge. We find that the formation of the polaron cloud involves a single 95 meV phonon along the c axis, in addition to th ...
