The Fermi surface and band folding in La2-xSr xCuO4, probed by angle-resolved photoemission

Abstract

A systematic angle-resolved photoemission study of the electronic structure of La2-xSrxCuO4 in a wide doping range is presented in this paper. In addition to the main energy band, we observed a weaker additional band, the (π, π) folded band, which shows unusual doping dependence. The appearance of the folded band suggests that a Fermi surface reconstruction is doping dependent and could already occur at zero magnetic field. © IOP Publishing Ltd and Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft.
