We report a study of low-energy electronic structure and Fermi surface topology for the recently discovered iron-based superconductor Ca₁₀(Pt₃As₈)(Fe₂As₂)₅(the 10-3-8 phase, with Tc∼8 K), via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Despite its triclinic crystal structure, ARPES results reveal a fourfold symmetric band structure with the absence of Dirac-cone-like Fermi dots (related to magnetism) found around the Brillouin zone corners in other iron-based superconductors. Considering that the triclinic lattice and structural supercell arise from the Pt₃As₈ intermediary layers, these results indicate that those layers couple only weakly to the FeAs layers in this new superconductor at least near the surface, which has …

We have carried out extensive one- and three-step angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) intensity computations on Ni(100) within the band theory framework based on the local spin-density approximation. The results show a good overall level of accord with the recent high-resolution ARPES experiments on Ni(100) which probe the majority- and minority-spin Σ₁ band along the Γ-K direction near the Fermi energy (EF), uncertainties inherent in our first-principles approach notwithstanding. The k‖ and energy dependencies of various spectral features are delineated in terms of the interplay between changes in the initial- and final-state bands and the associated transition matrix elements. The remarkable …
