We report the first photoemission study of Fe$_{1+x}$Te - the host compound of the newly discovered iron-chalcogenide superconductors (maximum T$_c$ $sim$ 27K). Our results reveal a pair of nearly electron-hole compensated Fermi pockets, strong Fermi velocity renormalization and an absence of a spin-density-wave gap. A shadow hole pocket is observed at the X-point of the Brillouin zone which is consistent with a long-range ordered magneto-structural groundstate. No signature of Fermi surface nesting instability associated with Q=($pi$/2, $pi$/2) is observed. Our results collectively reveal that the Fe$_{1+x}$Te series is dramatically different from the high T$_{c}$ pnictides and likely harbor unusual mechanism for superconductivity and magnetic order.

We present a systematic study of the nematic fluctuations in the iron chalcogenide superconductor Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ ($0 leq x leq 0.53$) using the elastoresistivity technique. Near $x = 0$, in proximity to the double-stripe magnetic order of Fe$_{1+y}$Te, a diverging $B_{1g}$ nematic susceptibility is observed. Upon increasing $x$, despite the absence of magnetic order, the $B_{2g}$ nematic susceptibility increases and becomes dominant, closely following the strength of the $(pi, pi)$ spin fluctuations. Over a wide range of compositions ($0.17 leq x leq 0.53$), while the $B_{2g}$ nematic susceptibility follows a Curie temperature dependence (with zero Weiss temperature) at low temperatures, it shows deviations from Curie-Weiss behavior for temperatures higher than $50K$. This is the opposite of what is observed in typical iron pnictides, where Curie-Weiss deviations are seen at low temperatures. We attribute this unusual temperature dependence to a loss of coherence of the $d_{xy}$ orbital, which is supported by our theoretical calculations. Our results highlight the importance of orbital differentiation on the nematic properties of iron-based materials.

No signature of Fermi surface nesting instability associated with Q= pi(1/2, 1/2) is observed.

The electronic structure of the high-T_c superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO6+d is studied by ARPES. For a very overdoped Tc=30K sample, the Fermi surface consists of a single large hole pocket centered at (pi,pi) and is approaching a topological transition. Al though a superconducting gap with d_x^2-y^2 symmetry is tentatively identified, the quasiparticle evolution with momentum and binding energy exhibits a marked departure from the behavior observed in under and optimally doped cuprates. The relevance of these findings to scattering, many-body, and quantum-critical phenomena is discussed.
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we have studied the low-energy electronic structure and the Fermi surface topology of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ superconductors. Similar to the known iron pnictides we observe hole pockets at the cente r and electron pockets at the corner of the Brillouin zone (BZ). However, on a finer level, the electronic structure around the $Gamma$- and $Z$-points in $k$-space is substantially different from other iron pnictides, in that we observe two hole pockets at the $Gamma$-point, and more interestingly only one hole pocket is seen at the $Z$-point, whereas in $1111$-, $111$-, and $122$-type compounds, three hole pockets could be readily found at the zone center. Another major difference noted in the Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_x$ superconductors is that the top of innermost hole-like band moves away from the Fermi level to higher binding energy on going from $Gamma$ to $Z$, quite opposite to the iron pnictides. The polarization dependence of the observed features was used to aid the attribution of the orbital character of the observed bands. Photon energy dependent measurements suggest a weak $k_z$ dispersion for the outer hole pocket and a moderate $k_z$ dispersion for the inner hole pocket. By evaluating the momentum and energy dependent spectral widths, the single-particle self-energy was extracted and interestingly this shows a pronounced non-Fermi liquid behaviour for these compounds. The experimental observations are discussed in context of electronic band structure calculations and models for the self-energy such as the spin-fermion model and the marginal-Fermi liquid.
The iron chalcogenide Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ on the Te-rich side is known to exhibit the strongest electron correlations among the Fe-based superconductors, and is non-superconducting for $x$ < 0.1. In order to understand the origin of such beh aviors, we have performed ARPES studies of Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ ($x$ = 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4). The obtained mass renormalization factors for different energy bands are qualitatively consistent with DFT + DMFT calculations. Our results provide evidence for strong orbital dependence of mass renormalization, and systematic data which help us to resolve inconsistencies with other experimental data. The unusually strong orbital dependence of mass renormalization in Te-rich Fe$_{1+y}$Te$_{1-x}$Se$_{x}$ arises from the dominant contribution to the Fermi surface of the $d_{xy}$ band, which is the most strongly correlated and may contribute to the suppression of superconductivity.
