Band structure of overdoped cuprate superconductors: Density functional theory matching experiments
Journal article, 2019

A comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the band structure in singlelayer cuprates is presented with the aim of uncovering universal trends across different materials. Five different hole-and electron-overdoped cuprate superconductors (La1.59Eu0.2Sr0.21CuO4, La1.77Sr0.23CuO4, Bi1.74Pb0.38Sr1.88CuO6+delta, Tl2Ba2CuO6+delta, and Pr1.15La0.7Ce0.15CuO4) have been studied with special focus on the bands with a predominately d-orbital character. Using a light polarization analysis, the e(g) and t(2g) bands are identified across these materials. A clear correlation between the d(3z2-r2) band energy and the apical oxygen distance d(A) is demonstrated. Moreover, the compound dependence of the d(x2-y2) band bottom and the t(2g) band top is revealed. A direct comparison to density functional theory (DFT) calculations employing hybrid exchange-correlation functionals demonstrates excellent agreement. We thus conclude that the DFT methodology can be used to describe the global band structure of overdoped single-layer cuprates on both the hole-and electron-doped side.
