Abstract

We performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the CaFe$_2$(As$_{0.935}$P$_{0.065}$)$_2$ in the collapse tetragonal(CT) phase and uncollapse tetragonal(UCT) phase. We find in the CT phase the electronic correlation dramatically reduces respective to UCT phase. Meanwhile, the reduction of correlation in CT phase show an orbital selective effect: correlation in \textit{d$_{xy}$} reduces the most, and then \textit{d$_{xz/yz}$}, while the one in \textit{d$_{z^2 - r^2}$} almost keeps the same. In CT phase, almost all bands sink downwards to higher binding energy, leading to the hole like bands around Brillouin zone(BZ) center sink below \textit{E$_F$} compared with UCT phase. However, the electron pocket around Brillouin Zone(BZ) corner(M) in UCT phase, forms a hole pocket around BZ center(Z point) in CT phase. Moreover, the \textit{d$_{xy}$} exhibits larger movement down to higher binding energy, resulting in farther away from \textit{d$_{yz/xz}$} and closer to \textit{d$_{xy}$}.We propose the electron filling ,namely high spin state in UCT phase to low spin state in CT phase(due to competing between crystal structure field and Hund's coupling), other than the Fermi surface nesting might be responsible for the absent of magnetic ordering.
