Investigations of magnetically ordered phases on the femtosecond timescale have provided significant insights into the influence of charge and lattice degrees of freedom on the magnetic sub-system. However, short-range magnetic correlations occurring in the absence of long-range order, for example in spin-frustrated systems, are inaccessible to many ultrafast techniques. Here, we show how...

The effects of electron-electron correlations on the low-energy electronic structure and their relationship with unconventional superconductivity are central aspects in the research on iron-based pnictide superconductors. Here we use soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study how electronic correlations evolve in different chemically substituted iron pnictides. We find that...

Three-dimensional momentum-resolved electronic structure of $1T\text{-}{\mathrm{TiSe}}_{2}:$ A combined soft-x-ray photoemission and density functional theory study

Vydrova, Z. ; Schwier, Eike Fabian ; Monney, Gaël ; Jaouen, Thomas ; Razzoli, Elia ; Monney, Claude ; Hildebrand, Baptiste ; Didiot, Clément ; Berger, Helmuth ; Schmitt, T. ; Strocov, V. N. ; Vanini, Fabiano ; Aebi, Philipp

1T−TiSe2 is a quasi-two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide, which exhibits a charge density wave transition at a critical temperature of ∼200 K as well as low- temperature superconductivity induced by pressure or intercalation. The electronic energy dispersion measured by soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission is not only momentum resolved parallel to the surface but also...

Mapping of electron-Hole excitations in the charge-density-wave system 1T-TiSe2 using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering

In high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering at the Ti L edge of the charge-density-wave system 1T-TiSe₂, we observe sharp low energy loss peaks from electron-hole pair excitations developing at low temperature. These excitations are strongly dispersing as a function of the transferred momentum of light. We show that the unoccupied bands close to the Fermi level can effectively be...
