Oral: Electronic structure of La3Ni2O7 with distinctive layer stacking by ARPES

ORAL

Abstract

Our study investigates the electronic structure of La3Ni2O7, one of the nickelates of interest owing to its newly discovered high-temperature superconductivity. La3Ni2O7 is known to have two alternative – and in some samples coexisting – crystal structures: a bilayer (2222) stacking and an alternating monolayer-trilayer (1313) stacking [1]. Here we examine regions of the crystal consisting of pure 1313 and 2222 phases using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), and map their respective band structures. This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the electronic characteristics of the La3Ni2O7 family, and sets the stage for further investigations into its unconventional superconducting properties.
