The nature of the pseudogap phase of cuprate high-temperature superconductors is a major unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. We studied the commencement of the pseudogap state at temperature using three different techniques (angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, polar Kerr effect, and time-resolved reflectivity) on the same optimally doped Bi2201 crystals. We observed the coincident, abrupt onset at of a particle-hole asymmetric antinodal gap in the electronic spectrum, a Kerr rotation in the reflected light polarization, and a change in the ultrafast relaxational dynamics, consistent with a phase transition. Upon further cooling, spectroscopic signatures of superconductivity begin to grow close to the superconducting transition temperature (), entangled in an energy-momentum dependent manner with the preexisting pseudogap features, ushering in a ground state with coexisting orders.

In the high- research, relationship between the pseudogap and the superconducting gap has been an important issue. We have performed a detailed temperature-dependent angle-integrated photoemission study of lightly-doped to heavily-overdoped LaSrCuO and oxygen-doped LaCuO. We found that, while the magnitude of the pseudogap increased with decreasing doping, that of the superconducting gap did not increase. This behavior can be explained if the superconducting gap opens only on the Fermi arc around the node (0,0)-(,) whereas the pseudogap opens primarily around (,0).

We have performed angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy study on CeIrSi, which does not have inversion symmetry in its crystal structure. The experiments were done in Advanced Light Source BL10.0.1. We have found that 4f derived bands mix with the ligand d bands. This result suggests that 4f electrons in this compound have some itinerant character.

Using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), we investigate the spin dynamics of iron-based superconductor BaKFeAs. The INS data show a spin-wave-like dispersive feature, with a zone boundary energy of 200 meV. A random phase approximation (RPA) treatment of the dynamical spin susceptibility, incorporating the band renormalization factor of 3 derived from the ARPES measurements on the same crystals, provides a reasonable description of the observed spin excitations. This analysis shows that the experimental spin excitation peak lies at a much lower energy than the bare value, reflecting a strong renormalization of the quasiparticle band dispersion near the Fermi level due to electron correlation effect. The present results point to a unified framework that connects the magnetic response to the underlying electronic structure of the materials.

We report inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study of hole-doped iron-based superconductor BaKFeAs (x = 0.25). The INS data show a spin-wave-like dispersive feature, with a zone boundary energy of 200 meV. A random phase approximation (RPA) treatment of the dynamical spin susceptibility, incorporating the band renormalization factor of 3 derived from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements on the same sample, provides a reasonable description of the observed spin excitations. This analysis shows that the Fe-3d bandwidth narrowing due to electron correlation is directly reflected in the spin excitation energy scale. We will discuss the current state of our analysis relating the magnetic response to the underlying electronic structure of the materials.
