The interactions between electrons and antiferromagnetic magnons (AFMMs) are important for a large class of correlated materials. For example, they are the most plausible pairing glues in high-temperature superconductors, such as cuprates and iron pnictides. However, unlike electron-phonon interactions (EPIs), clear-cut observations regarding how electron-AFMM interactions (EAIs) affect the band structure are still lacking. Consequently, critical information on the EAIs, such as its strength and doping dependence, remains elusive. Here we directly observe that EAIs induces a kink structure in the band dispersion in Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Mn$_2$As$_2$, and subsequently unveil several key characteristics of EAIs. We found that the coupling constant of EAIs can be as large as 6, and it shows huge doping dependence and temperature dependence, all in stark contrast to the behaviors of EPI and beyond our current understanding of EAIs. Such a colossal renormalization of electronic bands by EAIs drives the system to the Stoner criteria, giving the intriguing ferromagnetic state in Ba$_{1-x}$K$_x$Mn$_2$As$_2$. Our results expand the current knowledge of EAIs, which may facilitate the further understanding of many correlated materials where EAIs play a critical role, such as high-temperature superconductors.

We report the observation of an unusual behavior of highly extended 5d electrons in Y2Ir2O7 belonging to pyrochlore family of great current interest using high resolution photoemission spectroscopy. The experimental bulk spectra reveal an intense low er Hubbard band in addition to weak intensities in the vicinity of the Fermi level, e_F. This provides a direct evidence for strong electron correlation among the 5d electrons, despite their highly extended nature. The high resolution spectrum at room temperature exhibits a pseudogap at e_F and |e - e_F|^2 dependence demonstrating the importance of electron correlation in this system. Remarkably, in the magnetically ordered phase (T < 150 K), the spectral lineshape evolves to a |e - e_F|^1.5 dependence emphasizing the dominant role of electron-magnon coupling.
We report on low-energy electronic structure and electronic correlations of K$_{0.65}$RhO$_2$, studied using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) technique and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. We observe a hi ghly correlated hole pocket on the Fermi surface. We further notice that the correlations are momentum dependent. Most importantly, two $kinks$ at binding energies of 75 meV and 195 meV have been observed from the band dispersion in the vicinity of the Fermi level. While the low energy $kink$ at 75 meV can be understood as a result of the electron-phonon interaction, the presence of high energy $kink$ at 195 meV is totally a new discovery of this system leading to an anomalous band renormalization. Based on systematic analysis of our experimental data, we propose high frequency bosonic excitations as a plausible origin of the high energy anomaly. Further, we notice that the high energy anomaly has important implications in obtaining the colossal thermoelectric power of K$_{0.65}$RhO$_2$.

Antiferromagnetism (AF) such as Neel ordering is often closely related to Coulomb interactions such as Hubbard repulsion in two-dimensional (2D) systems. Whether Neel AF ordering in 2D can be dominantly induced by electron-phonon couplings (EPC) has not been completely understood. Here, by employing numerically-exact sign-problem-free quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations, we show that optical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) phonons with frequency $omega$ and EPC constant $lambda$ can induce AF ordering for a wide range of phonon frequency $omega>omega_c$. For $omega<omega_c$, a valence-bond-solid (VBS) order appears and there is a direct quantum phase transition between VBS and AF phases at $omega_c$. The phonon mechanism of the AF ordering is related to the fact that SSH phonons directly couple to electron hopping whose second-order process can induce an effective AF spin exchange. Our results shall shed new lights to understanding AF ordering in correlated quantum materials.
CaCo$_{2-y}$As$_2$ is an unusual itinerant magnet with signatures of extreme magnetic frustration. The conditions for establishing magnetic order in such itinerant frustrated magnets, either by reducing frustration or enhancing the Stoner parameter, is an open question. Here we use results from inelastic neutron scattering and magnetic susceptibility measurements and density functional theory calculations to show that hole doping in Ca(Co$_{1-x}$Fe$_{x}$)$_{2-y}$As$_{2}$ suppresses magnetic order by quenching the associated magnetic moment while maintaining the same level of magnetic frustration. The suppression is due to tuning the Fermi energy away from a peak in the electronic density of states originating from a flat conduction band. This results in the complete elimination of the magnetic moment by $xapprox0.25$, providing a clear example of a Stoner-like transition.

By performing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of the bilayer colossal magnetoresistive (CMR) manganite, $La_{2-2x}Sr_{1+2x}Mn_{2}O_{7}$, we provide the complete mapping of the Fermi level spectral weight topology. Clear and unambiguous bila yer splitting of the in-plane 3d$_{x^2-y^2}$ band, mapped throughout the Brillouin zone, and the full mapping of the 3d$_{3z^2-r^2}$ band are reported. Peculiar doping and temperature dependencies of these bands imply that as transition from the ferromagnetic metallic phase approaches, either as a function of doping or temperature, coherence along the c-axis between planes within the bilayer is lost, resulting in reduced interplane coupling. These results suggest that interplane coupling plays a large role in the CMR transition.
