The nature of the pseudogap and its relationship with superconductivity are one of the central issues of cuprate superconductors. Recently, a possible scenario has been proposed that the pseudogap state is a distinct phase characterized by spontaneous rotational symmetry breaking called “nematicity” based on transport and magnetic susceptibility me...

In order to study the possible superconductivity at the polar surfaces of 1111-type iron-based superconductors, which is doped with a large amount of holes in spite of the electron doping in bulk materials, we have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies on superconducting PrFeAsO$_{1-y}$~crystals. We have indeed observe...

The electron-doped cuprates are usually characterized by a more robust antiferromagnetic phase and a much narrower superconducting (SC) dome than those of the hole-doped counterparts. Recently, bulk single crystals of Pr1.3−xLa0.7CexCuO4−δ (PLCCO) prepared by the protect annealing method have been studied extensively and revealed many intriguing pr...

For electron-doped cuprates, the strong suppression of antiferromagnetic spin correlation by efficient reduction annealing by the “protect-annealing” method leads to superconductivity not only with lower Ce concentrations but also with higher transition temperatures. To reveal the nature of this superconducting state, we have performed angle-resolv...

The peculiar metallic electronic states observed in the Kondo insulator, samarium hexaboride (SmB6), has stimulated considerable attention among those studying non-trivial electronic phenomena. However, experimental studies of these states have led to controversial conclusions mainly due to the difficulty and inhomogeneity of the SmB6 crystal surfa...

In order to investigate the electronic properties of the semiconducting van der Waals ferromagnet Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT), where ferromagnetic layers are bonded through van der Waals forces, we have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements and density-functional theory (DFT+U) calculations. The valence-band maximum at the Γ point is...

Bulk crystals of electron-doped cuprates with a T′-type structure require both Ce substitutions and reduction annealing for the emergence of superconductivity while reduction annealing alone can induce superconductivity in thin films of T′-type cuprates. In order to reveal the low-energy electronic states which are responsible for the superconducti...

The peculiar metallic electronic states observed in the Kondo insulator, Samarium hexaboride (SmB$_6$), has stimulated considerable attention in the study of novel and non-trivial electronic phenomena. However, the experimental results of these states are limited and controversial mainly due to the difficulty and inhomogeneity of the SmB$_6$ crysta...

Samarium hexaboride (SmB6) is the most extensively studied candidate of topological Kondo insulators. To clarify the topological origin of metallic surface states observed on the SmB6(001) surfaces, we studied the surface electronic structure of SmB6 on the other surface orientation, SmB6(111). Although the SmB6(111) surface cannot be obtained by c...

The typical Kondo insulator, YbB12, is a candidate of topological Kondo insulators. To clarify the surface electronic structure of not only bulk but also surface by photoelectron measurements, we developed a method to obtain a clean surface of YbB12(001) by annealing at 1650 K in an ultra-high vacuum. By surface-sensitive photoelectron measurements...

Detailed surface electronic structure on the Bi/InSb(001) surface hosting Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid was observed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) with synchrotron radiation. ARPES energy distribution curves (EDCs) around the Fermi level indicated the two separate features dispersing with different Fermi velocity but approaching...

A synergistic effect between strong electron correlation and spin-orbit interaction (SOI) has been theoretically predicted to result in a new topological state of quantum matter on Kondo insulators (KIs), so-called topological Kondo insulators (TKIs). One TKI candidate has been experimentally observed on the KI SmB6(001), and the origin of the surf...

A 1D metallic surface state was created on an anisotropic InSb(001) surface covered with Bi. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) showed a 1D Fermi contour with almost no 2D distortion. Close to the Fermi level (E_{F}), the angle-integrated photoelectron spectra showed power-law scaling with the binding energy and temperature. The ARPE...

One-dimensional metallic surface state is created in atomic Bi-nanowires prepared on InSb(001) semiconductor substrate. Angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) reveals its spectral feature down to 8 K, showing the power-law scaling with binding energies around the Fermi level ($E_{\rm F}$) as well as the temperature dependence of the phot...
