Multiband one-dimensional electronic structure and spectroscopic signature of Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid behavior in K2Cr3As3

Abstract

We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements of the quasi-one-dimensional superconductor K2Cr3As3. We find that the Fermi surface contains two Fermi surface sheets, with linearly dispersing bands not displaying any significant band renormalizations. The one-dimensional band dispersions display a suppression of spectral intensity approaching the Fermi level according to a linear power law, over an energy range of ∼200 meV. This is interpreted as a signature of Tomonoga-Luttinger liquid physics, which provides a new perspective on the possibly unconventional superconductivity in this family of compounds.
