The perovskite ruthenate has attracted considerable interest due to reports of possible non-Fermi-liquid behavior and its proximity to a magnetic quantum critical point, yet its ground state and electronic structure remain enigmatic. Here we report the first measurements of the Fermi surface and quasiparticle dispersion in CaRuO3 through a combination of oxide molecular beam epitaxy and in situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results reveal a complex and anisotropic Fermi surface consisting of small electron pockets and straight segments, consistent with the bulk orthorhombic crystal structure with large octahedral rotations. We observe a strongly band-dependent mass renormalization, with prominent heavy quasiparticle bands which lie close to the Fermi energy and exhibit strong temperature dependence. These results are consistent with a heavy Fermi liquid with a complex Fermiology and small hybridization gaps near the Fermi energy. Our results provide a unified framework for explaining previous experimental results on CaRuO3, such as its unusual optical conductivity, and demonstrate the importance of octahedral rotations in determining the quasiparticle band structure, and electron correlations in complex transition metal oxides.

The evolution between Fermi liquid and non-Fermi-liquid states in correlated electron systems has been a central subject in condensed matter physics because of the coupled intriguing magnetic and electronic states. An effective pathway to explore the
nature of non-Fermi liquid behavior is to approach its phase boundary. Here we report a crossover from non-Fermi liquid to Fermi-liquid state in metallic CaRuO3 through ionic liquid gating induced protonation with electric field. This electronic transition subsequently triggers a reversible magnetic transition with the emergence of an exotic ferromagnetic state from this paramagnetic compound. Our theoretical analysis reveals that hydrogen incorporation plays a critical role in both the electronic and magnetic phase transitions via structural distortion and electron doping. These observations not only help understand the correlated magnetic and electronic transitions in perovskite ruthenate systems, but also provide novel pathways to design electronic phases in correlated materials.
The superconducting order parameter of the first heavy-fermion superconductor CeCu2Si2 is currently under debate. A key ingredient to understand its superconductivity and physical properties is the quasiparticle dispersion and Fermi surface, which re
mains elusive experimentally. Here we present measurements from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Our results emphasize the key role played by the Ce 4f electrons for the low-temperature Fermi surface, highlighting a band-dependent conduction-f electron hybridization. In particular, we find a very heavy quasi-two-dimensional electron band near the bulk X point and moderately heavy three-dimensional hole pockets near the Z point. Comparison with theoretical calculations reveals the strong local correlation in this compound, calling for further theoretical studies. Our results provide the electronic basis to understand the heavy fermion behavior and superconductivity; implications for the enigmatic superconductivity of this compound are also discussed.
$alpha$-YbAlB$_4$ is the locally isostructural polymorph of $beta$-YbAlB$_4$, the first example of an Yb-based heavy fermion superconductor which exhibits pronounced non-Fermi-liquid behavior above $T_{rm c}$. Interestingly, both $alpha$-YbAlB$_4$ an
d $beta$-YbAlB$_4$ have strongly intermediate valence. Our single crystal study of the specific heat, magnetization and resistivity has confirmed the Fermi liquid ground state of $alpha$-YbAlB$_4$ ~in contrast with the quantum criticality observed in $beta$-YbAlB$_4$. Both systems exhibit Kondo lattice behavior with the characteristic temperature scale $T^* sim$ 8 K in addition to a valence fluctuation scale $sim 200$ K. Below $T^*$, $alpha$-YbAlB$_4$ a heavy Fermi liquid state with an electronic specific heat coefficient $gammasim$ 130 mJ/mol K$^2$ and a large Wilson ratio more than 7, which indicates ferromagnetic correlation between Yb moments. A large anisotropy in the resistivity suggests that the hybridization between 4$f$ and conduction electrons is much stronger in the $ab$-plane than along the c-axis. The strongly anisotropic hybridization as well as the large Wilson ratio is the key to understand the unusual Kondo lattice behavior and heavy fermion formation in mixed valent compounds.
Heavy electron metals on the verge of a quantum phase transition to magnetism show a number of unusual non-fermi liquid properties which are poorly understood. This article discusses in a general way various theoretical aspects of this phase transiti
on with an eye toward understanding the non-fermi liquid phenomena. We suggest that the non-Fermi liquid quantum critical state may have a sharp Fermi surface with power law quasiparticles but with a volume not set by the usual Luttinger rule. We also discuss the possibility that the electronic structure change associated with the possible Fermi surface reconstruction may diverge at a different time/length scale from that associated with magnetic phenomena.
In low-dimensional metallic systems, lattice distortion is usually coupled to a density-wave-like electronic instability due to Fermi surface nesting (FSN) and strong electron-phonon coupling. However, the ordering of other electronic degrees of free
dom can also occur simultaneously with the lattice distortion thus challenges the aforementioned prevailing scenario. Recently, a hidden electronic reconstruction beyond FSN was revealed in a layered metallic compound BaTi2As2O below the structural transition temperature Ts ~ 200 K. The nature of this hidden electronic instability is under strong debate. Here, by measuring the local orbital polarization through 75As nuclear magnetic resonance experiment, we observe a p-d bond order between Ti and As atoms in BaTi2As2O single crystal. Below Ts, the bond order breaks both rotational and translational symmetry of the lattice. Meanwhile, the spin-lattice relaxation measurement indicates a substantial loss of density of states and an enhanced spin fluctuation in the bond-order state. Further first-principles calculations suggest that the mechanism of the bond order is due to the coupling of lattice and nematic instabilities. Our results strongly support a bond-order driven electronic reconstruction in BaTi2As2O and shed light on the mechanism of superconductivity in this family.
