Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of the low-energy electronic structure of superconducting Pr2CuO4 driven by oxygen nonstoichiometry

Abstract: Bulk crystals of electron-doped cuprates with the T'-type structure require both Ce substitutions and reduction annealing for the emergence of superconductivity while the reduction annealing alone can induce superconductivity in thin films of the T'-type cuprates. In order to reveal low-energy electronic states which are responsible for the superconductivity, we have conducted angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on thin films of the superconducting Ce-free T'-type cuprate Pr2CuO4. The result… Show more

“…1(a)]-corresponds to a filling of 15% electron doping. While there have been extensive reports on additional electron doping by reduction annealing of electron-doped cuprates [20,[29][30][31][32][33], this filling is consistent with the nominal Ce concentration.…”

“…The oxygen con- centration in the reduced sample is likely smaller than 4.0 to preserve charge neutrality, namely, the CuO 2 planes and/or Nd-O layers are likely oxygen deficient, as indicated in a structural study [4]. Electron doping of the T ′ -structured compounds without Ce substitution has been reported for thin films [53][54][55] and polycrystalline samples [56][57][58]. Our result constitutes spectroscopic evidence of this effect in a Ce-free single crystal, even though the implied density of doped electrons is relatively small.…”

“…Inspired by these studies, hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) measurements have been performed on the SC Nd 2 CuO 4 thin films to detect electron doping through the measurements of the chemical-potential shift deduced from the core-level spectra 8 . The results, together with subsequent angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on SC Pr 2 CuO 4 thin films to probe the Fermi surface area 9 , have unveiled that electrons are actually doped in Ce-undoped T ′ -type cuprates after reduction annealing. On top of the superconductivity without Ce doping, LESCO (x > 0) is the first nominally hole-doped SC cuprate with the T ′ -type structure 4,10 .…”
