Fermi surface and pseudogap in highly doped Sr2IrO4
摘要
The fate of the Fermi surface in bulk electron-doped Sr2IrO4 remains elusive, as does the origin and extension of its pseudogap phase. Here, we use high-resolution angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) to investigate the electronic structure of Sr2−xLaxIrO4 up to x = 0.2, a factor of two higher than in previous work. We find that the antinodal pseudogap persists up to the highest doping level, and thus beyond the sharp increase in Hall carrier density to ≃ 1 + x recently observed above x* ≃ 0.16
