We investigate the role of ligand states in the electronic properties of CaFe2As2 using high-resolution hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) at different sample temperatures. Experimental results indicate that the binding energy of Ca is close to that for 2+ charge state of Ca atoms and the other constituent elements, Fe and As possess electronic configuration close to that in elemental systems. No difference is observed in the As 3p core level spectra with the change of emission angle and/or the change in sample temperature. This is surprising as the Ca atoms at the cleaved sample surface reorganizes itself to form linear structures which is expected to influence Ca-As hybridization leading to significant difference in surface and bulk electronic structures. Moreover, CaFe2As2 undergoes structural and magnetic phase transition at 170 K, and strong Fe-As hybridization provides pathways for electron dynamics. Clearly, further studies are required to resolve these puzzling observations.

High resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been carried out on BaFe2As2, a parent compound of the FeAs-based superconductors. In the magnetic ordering state, there is no gap opening observed on the Fermi surface. Instead, dramatic band structure reorganization occurs across the magnetic transition. The appearance of the singular Fermi spots near (pi,pi) is the most prominent signature of magnetic ordering. These observations provide direct evidence that the magnetic ordering state of BaFe2As2 is distinct from the conventional spin-density-wave state. They reflect the electronic complexity in this multiple-orbital system and necessity in involving the local magnetic moment in describing the underlying electron structure.

We use angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to study the electronic properties of CaFe2As2 - parent compound of a pnictide superconductor. We find that the structural and magnetic transition is accompanied by a three- to two-dimensional (3D-2D) crossover in the electronic structure. Above the transition temperature (Ts) Fermi surfaces around Gamma and X points are cylindrical and quasi-2D. Below Ts the former becomes a 3D ellipsoid, while the latter remains quasi-2D. This finding strongly suggests that low dimensionality plays an important role in understanding the superconducting mechanism in pnictides.
We report the first comprehensive high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on CeFeAsO, a parent compound of FeAs-based high temperature superconductors with a mangetic/structural transition at $sim$150 K. In the magnetic ordering sta te, four hole-like Fermi surface sheets are observed near $Gamma$(0,0) and the Fermi surface near M(+/-$pi$,+/-$pi$) shows a tiny electron-like pocket at M surrounded by four Dirac cone-like strong spots. The unusual Fermi surface topology deviates strongly from the band structure calculations. The electronic signature of the magnetic/structural transition shows up in the dramatic change of the quasiparticle scattering rate. A dispersion kink at $sim$ 25meV is for the first time observed in the parent compound of Fe-based superconductors.
We have carried out a detailed study to investigate the existence of an insulating parent phase for FeSe superconductor. The insulating Fe4Se5 with specific Fe-vacancy order shows a 3D-Mott variable range hopping behavior with a Verwey-like electroni c correlation at around 45 K. The application of the RTA process at 450 celcius degree results in the destruction of Fe-vacancy order and induces more electron carriers by increasing the Fe3+ valence state. Superconductivity emerges with Tc ~ 8K without changing the chemical stoichiometry of the sample after the RTA process by resulting in the addition of extra carriers in favor of superconductivity.
We present the results of paramagnetic LDA band structure calculations: band dispersions, densities of states and Fermi surfaces, for the new iron based high-temperature superconductor LiOHFeSe. Main structural motif providing bands in the vicinity o f the Fermi level is FeSe layer which is isostructural to the bulk FeSe prototype superconductor. The bands crossing the Fermi level and Fermi surfaces of the new compound are typical for other iron based superconductors. Experimentally it was shown that introduction of Fe ions into LiOH layer gives rise to ferromagnetic ordering of the Fe ions at T$_C$=10K. To study magnetic properties of [Li$_{0.8}$Fe$_{0.2}$OH]FeSe system we have performed LSDA calculations for $sqrt 5 times sqrt 5$ superlattice and found ferromagnetism within the Li$_4$Fe(OH) layer. To estimate the Curie temperature we obtained Fe-Fe exchange interaction parameters for Heisenberg model from our LSDA calculations, leading to theoretical value of Curie temperature 10.4K in close agreement with experiment.
