Time resolved ARPES study of trilayer cuprate Bi<sub>2</sub>Sr<sub>2</sub>Ca<sub>2</sub>Cu<sub>3</sub>O<sub>10</sub>

ORAL

Abstract

The unconventional superconductivity of the high-Tc cuprates, together with multiple other intertwined and competing electronic phases, finds its origin in the strong electronic correlations generated in quasi two-dimensional CuO2 planes. Interestingly, the number of these planes present in each structural unit cell strongly correlates with the observed maximum critical temperature. In all cuprate families where it is possible to control the number of those planes in each unit cell, the superconducting Tc peaks at 3 planes per unit cell. These planes can have distinct crystal environments, doping and correlations, and as such provide an ideal platform for the simultaneous exploration of a wide range of phase space. We study the electronic structure of such a trilayer system, Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10, using time and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) allowing us to differentiate between the electronic states originating from the distinct CuO2 planes in a k-resolved manner. In doing so we look for insights into the mechanism that provides the extremely high Tc in these systems.
