The electronic structure of the high-Tc superconductor Tl2Ba2CuO 6+δ is studied by ARPES. For a very overdoped Tc = 30 K sample, the Fermi surface consists of a single large hole pocket centered at (π,π) and is approaching a topological transition. Although a superconducting gap with d x 2 −y 2 symmetry is tentatively identified, the quasiparticle evolution with momentum and binding energy exhibits a marked departure from the behavior observed in under and optimally doped cuprates. The relevance of these findings to scattering, many-body, and quantum-critical phenomena is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
