Investigation of the electronic structure of TiTe$_{2}$ using ARPES

ORAL

Abstract

TiTe$_{2}$ is considered a model Fermi liquid material in the field of angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES). Over the years, many groups have contributed to improving the quality of the ARPES data on TiTe$_{2}$, helping to understand the connection between the ARPES data and the transport properties. However, some key questions remain unanswered, the most outstanding one being the anomalous temperature dependence in the Hall coefficient $R_{H}$. Here, we present a detailed high resolution ARPES data set in a wide range of temperature and momentum. This reveals some new features: temperature dependence in the band width, temperature dependence of the Ti 3d and Te 5p occupancies, and subtle features in the line shapes as the peak crosses the Fermi level. We discuss these new features in comparison with previous ARPES studies and known transport properties.
