Here we report an asymmetric suppresion of spectral weight at the Fermi surface around the M points using angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The results provide direct evidence for diagonal stripes in the Bi2212 superconductors.

The ``band-structure of a disordered stripe array is computed and compared, at a qualitative level, to angle resolved photoemission experiments on the cuprate high temperature superconductors. The low-energy states are found to be strongly localized transverse to the stripe direction, so the electron dynamics is strictly one-dimensional (along the stripe). Despite this, aspects of the two dimensional band-structure Fermi surface are still vividly apparent.
High-temperature superconducting cuprates exhibit an intriguing phenomenology for the low-energy elementary excitations. In particular, an unconventional temperature dependence of the coherent spectral weight (CSW) has been observed in the superconducting phase by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), both at the antinode where the d-wave paring gap is maximum, as well as along the gapless nodal direction. Here, we combine equilibrium and time-resolved ARPES to track the temperature dependent meltdown of the nodal CSW in Bi-based cuprates with unprecedented sensitivity. We find the nodal suppression of CSW upon increasing temperature to be ubiquitous across single- and double-layer Bi cuprates, and uncorrelated to superconducting and pseudogap onset temperatures. We quantitatively model both the lineshape of the nodal spectral features and the anomalous suppression of CSW within the Fermi-Liquid framework, establishing the key role played by the normal state electrodynamics in the description of nodal quasiparticles in superconducting cuprates.
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is used to study the energy and momentum dependence of the inelastic scattering rates and the mass renormalization of charge carriers in LiFeAs at several high symmetry points in the Brillouin zone. A strong and linear-in-energy scattering rate is observed for sections of the Fermi surface having predominantly Fe $3d_{xy/yz}$ orbital character on the inner hole and on electron pockets. We assign them to hot spots with marginal Fermi liquid character inducing high antiferromagnetic and pairing susceptibilities. The outer hole pocket, with Fe $3d_{xy}$ orbital character, has a reduced but still linear in energy scattering rate. Finally, we assign sections on the middle hole pockets with Fe $3d_{xz,yz}$ orbital character and on the electron pockets with Fe $3d_{xy}$ orbital character to cold spots because there we observe a quadratic-in-energy scattering rate with Fermi-liquid behavior. These cold spots prevail the transport properties. Our results indicate a strong $it{momentum}$ dependence of the scattering rates. We also have indications that the scattering rates in correlated systems are fundamentally different from those in non-correlated materials because in the former the Pauli principle is not operative. We compare our results for the scattering rates with combined density functional plus dynamical mean-field theory calculations. The work provides a generic microscopic understanding of macroscopic properties of multiorbital unconventional superconductors.
Spatially inhomogeneous electronic states are expected to be key ingredients for the emergence of superconducting phases in quantum materials hosting charge-density-waves (CDWs). Prototypical materials are transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) and among them, 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ exhibiting intertwined CDW and superconducting states under Cu intercalation, pressure or electrical gating. Although it has been recently proposed that the emergence of superconductivity relates to CDW fluctuations and the development of spatial inhomogeneities in the CDW order, the fundamental mechanism underlying such a phase separation (PS) is still missing. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, we report on the phase diagram of the CDW in 1$T$-TiSe$_2$ as a function of Ti self-doping, an overlooked degree of freedom inducing CDW texturing. We find an intrinsic tendency towards electronic PS in the vicinity of Fermi surface (FS) hot spots, i.e. locations with band crossings close to, but not at the Fermi level. We therefore demonstrate an intimate relationship between the FS topology and the emergence of spatially textured electronic phases which is expected to be generalizable to many doped CDW compounds.
We investigate the three-dimensional electronic structure of the seminal charge-density-wave (CDW) material 2H-NbSe$_2$ by soft x-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and density-functional theory. Our results reveal the pronounced 3D character of the electronic structure formed in the quasi-two-dimensional layered crystal structure. In particular, we find a strong dispersion along $k_z$ excluding a nesting-driven CDW formation based on experimental data. The 3D-like band structure of 2H-NbSe$_2$ has strong implications for the intriguing phase competition of CDW order with superconductivity.
