We present a comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of Ca1.8Sr0.2RuO4. Four distinct bands are revealed and along the Ru-O bond direction their orbital characters are identified through a light polarization analysis and comparison to dynamical mean-field theory calculations. Bands assigned to dxz,dyz orbitals display Fermi liquid behavior with fourfold quasiparticle mass renormalization. Extremely heavy fermions - associated with a predominantly dxy band character - are shown to display non-Fermi-liquid behavior. We thus demonstrate that Ca1.8Sr0.2RuO4 is a hybrid metal with an orbitally selective Fermi liquid quasiparticle breakdown.

Abstract
We present a comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of Ca1.8Sr0.2RuO4. Four distinct bands are revealed and along the Ru-O bond direction their orbital characters are identified through a light polarization analysis and comparison to dynamical mean-field theory calculations. Bands assigned to dxz,dyz orbitals display Fermi liquid behavior with fourfold quasiparticle mass renormalization. Extremely heavy fermions - associated with a predominantly dxy band character - are shown to display non-Fermi-liquid behavior. We thus demonstrate that Ca1.8Sr0.2RuO4 is a hybrid metal with an orbitally selective Fermi liquid quasiparticle breakdown.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
