Electronic structure of PtPb<sub>4</sub> studied by Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

ORAL

Abstract

We investigate the electronic structure of PtPb4 by using ultrahigh resolution, laser based Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy(ARPES) and Density functional theory(DFT) calculations. This material is a compound related to PtSn4, which exhibits exotic topological properties such as Dirac node arcs. The Fermi surface(FS) of PtPb4 has at least two electron pockets at the center of the Brillouin zone(BZ) and several hole pockets around the zone boundaries. Although the crystal structure has 4-fold symmetry, the ARPES data reveals a FS with only 2-fold symmetry, showing a rectangular FS sheet around X points and two intersected circular FS sheet around Y points. X-ray scattering data points to the stacking order as a key factor for the breaking of the 4-fold symmetry observed in ARPES data. The experimental results are in a reasonable agreement with the DFT calculations.
