Oral: Electronic structure of La<sub>3</sub>Ni<sub>2</sub>O<sub>7</sub> 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.
