We present a resonant angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the electronic band structure and heavy fermion quasiparticles in CeRu2Si2. Using light polarization analysis, considerations of the crystal field environment and hybridization between conduction and f electronic states, we identify the d-electronic orbital character of conduction bands crossing the Fermi level. Resonant ARPES spectra suggest that the localized Ce f states hybridize with eg and t2g states around the zone center. In this fashion, we reveal the orbital structure of the heavy fermion quasiparticles in CeRu2Si2 and discuss its implications for metamagnetism and superconductivity in the related compound CeCu2Si2.

1. Introduction

The term heavy fermions refers to electronic quasiparticles (QPs) with a strongly renormalized mass compared to free electrons. Hybridization between localized f-electronic states and conduction electrons is a pathway for heavy fermion formation. These QPs are the starting point for a plethora of exotic quantum matter states. Superconductivity,1) magnetism and multipole ordered2,3) phases have been realized in this fashion. Very often, these phases are highly sensitive to external tuning parameters such as pressure or magnetic fields. Two superconducting phases have, for example, been identified as a function of hydrostatic pressure in CeCu2Si2.4) The symmetry of the superconducting order parameters is still being debated. The very same material also has a so-called A-phase that is magnetically ordered.5) Another example is URu2Si2 that also hosts an unconventional superconducting state inside a hidden-order phase with an unresolved symmetry breaking.68) These phases vanish upon application of magnetic field and are replaced by a magnetic ground state. Here, we consider CeRu2Si2 that undergoes a metamagnetic transition at a magnetic field of just 7 T. On both sides of the transition, the QP masses inferred from quantum oscillation experiments only account for 20% of the observed electronic specific heat.9,10) The heavy fermion Fermi surface structures have therefore not been detected by quantum oscillation experiments.

It is commonly believed that the heavy fermion QPs are a dominant factor in these materials' low-energy electronic structures and responsible for the highly tunable phase diagrams. A profound characterization of the QP nature is therefore desired. Resonant angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), applied across a wide selection of Ce-based compounds, has provided insight into the f-electronic spectral weight folded into low-energy QPs.1122) By tuning the incident photons to the Ce-Fano-resonance, sensitivity to f-electronic spectral weight is enhanced. In this fashion, the f-electron contribution to the QPs residing on the Fermi surface is probed. Yet, the orbital composition of these QPs remains difficult to disentangle. In the case of CeRu2Si2 and related 122-compounds, the localized f states split into two levels, \(f_{5/2}\) and \(f_{7/2}\), due to spin–orbit coupling (SOC). Their degeneracy is lifted further through the tetragonal crystal electric field (CEF).22) The \(f_{5/2}\) state therefore splits into the three levels labeled \(\Gamma_{7}^{1}\), \(\Gamma_{7}^{2}\), and \(\Gamma_{6}\). Moreover, the conduction electrons can have both d and p orbital character. Without taking strong electron interaction and SOC into account, band structure calculations are typically not reliable in these compounds. The orbital structure of the heavy fermions is therefore difficult to access from both experimental and theoretical view points.

Here we use a combination of resonant and light polarization dependent ARPES to elucidate the orbital structure of the heavy fermions in CeRu2Si2. In contrast to several previous ARPES studies,23,24) we probe the Ce 121 eV Fano resonance25,26) using high-resolution instrumentation. On both Si- and Ce-terminated surfaces, strong hybridization between localized f states and conduction bands (\(cf\) hybridization) is found around the zone center. The low-temperature f-electron spectral weight is suppressed above \(T\approx 25\) K. By exploiting the photoemission matrix element's dependence on light polarization, we infer that the \(cf\) hybridization occurs predominately with the \(d_{3z^{2}-r^{2}}\) and \(d_{xz},\ d_{yz}\) ruthenium orbitals.

2. Methods

High quality single crystals were grown using the Czochralski technique and have previously been used for magneto-resistance measurements.9,10) ARPES experiments were carried out at the Cassiopee and I0527) beam lines at the Soleil synchrotron and the Diamond Light Source, respectively. The crystals were cleaved using a standard top-post. Electrical contact between the crystal and the cryostat was obtained using EpoTek H20E Ag epoxy. Incident photon energies 90 eV (off-resonance) and 121 eV (on-resonance) were used in combination with horizontal π and vertical σ linear light polarizations. A vertical analyser slit configuration was used throughout this work. We denote \(k_{x}\) and \(k_{y}\) in units of \(\pi/a\) and \(k_{z}\) in units of \(\pi/c\) with \(a=4.95\) Å and \(c=9.798\) Å being the lattice parameters. Assuming an inner potential \(V_{0}=15\) eV as is commonly used for d-electron systems,2830) our momentum mapping at the Ce-resonance is close to \(\mathrm{Z}=(0,0,1)\) and \(\mathrm{Y}_{1}=(1,1,1)\). By contrast, for \(h\nu=90\) eV, the in-plane mapping is cutting close to \(\Gamma=(0,0,0)\) and \(\Sigma=(1,1,0)\) points. Data analysis and visualization was carried out using the PIT software package.31) Data has been normalized to the average background count rate found above the Fermi level. Surface terminations (Si or Ce) are distinguished through the same considerations as in related 122 compounds.11)

3. Results

On- and off-resonance ARPES spectra collected along high symmetry direction on a Ce-terminated surface, shown in Figs. 1(a)–1(c) and 1(e)–1(g), reveal a rich band structure. Numerous dispersive bands are observed along with the non-dispersive Ce \(4f_{7/2}\)11,22) state at a binding energy of roughly 0.3 eV [best seen in Fig. 1(g)]. The associated on- and off-resonance Fermi surfaces perpendicular to \(k_{z}\) are displayed in Figs. 1(d) and 1(h), while Fermi surfaces parallel to \(k_{z}\) along the high symmetry directions ΓX and \(\Gamma\Sigma\) are shown in Figs. 1(i) and 1(j), respectively. From panels (d) and (h) it is apparent that the X-point exhibits 4-fold symmetry, in contrast to previous reports where this point has 2-fold symmetry.23,26) The dotted outline of the simple tetragonal Brillouin zone (BZ) boundaries are a better match for the measured data than the more appropriate body-centered tetragonal BZ boundaries. Further discussion on this observation can be found in the supplemental material.32) In the following, we conclude from this observation that the data obtained on- and off-resonance is directly comparable in terms of band structure.


Figure 1. (Color online) High-symmetry band structure and Fermi surface from a Ce-terminated surface. The first and second rows are recorded using photons tuned to be off- or on-resonance, respectively. Under both conditions, the band structure along high symmetry directions is displayed in (a)–(c) and (e)–(g). On- and off-resonance Fermi surface maps were recorded at 13 K (d, h). Colored dashed lines indicate the high-symmetry trajectories along which the band structure is displayed in (a)–(c) and (e)–(g). Panels (i) and (j) show the Fermi surface along the \(k_{z}\) direction for cuts along ΓX and \(\Gamma\Sigma\), respectively. White lines in (d, h, i, f) indicate the body-centered tetragonal Brillouin zone boundaries. Simple tetragonal Brillouin zone boundaries are also shown with dotted white lines. A schematic of the body-centered tetragonal Brillouin zone with the locations of the special points is shown in panel (k). Panels displaying data recorded with same incident photon energy share a common color scale normalization.

Several Fermi surface sheets can be identified. A small electron pocket [labeled γ in Fig. 2(a)] is found around the Y1-point. Around the zone center, Z, a small (α) and a slightly larger (β) Fermi surface sheet are observed. They form the inner part of a flower-like shape, indicated with a dotted line in Fig. 1(h). The smaller α Fermi surface sheet displays a pronounced enhancement under resonant illumination, compare Figs. 1(b) and 1(c) with Figs. 1(f) and 1(g). This resonance effect implies that f-electronic spectral weight is folded into the low-energy QPs. The orbital nature of these composed QPs is our central point of focus here.


Figure 2. (Color online) Zone corner band structure from Si-terminated Fermi surface. (a, b), (e, f) Band structure along the Z-Y1 directions recorded with linear horizontal (π) and vertical (σ) light polarization for temperatures as indicated. (c, d), (g, h) Intensity difference I(36 K)–I(9 K) for the two polarizations at the resonance and off-resonance. The color scale is organized so that white indicates no difference, red indicates intensity gain and blue intensity loss upon heating. The color scale of the off resonance difference spectra (d, h) has been enhanced by 500% in order to make features visible at all. On the resonance, loss and gain traces the band structure whereas the off-resonance differences are generally a factor of 5 weaker and appear rather random.

When rare earth ions are surrounded by Si layers the chemical surrounding resembles that of the bulk.11,33) In principle, by addressing the Si-terminated surface we ensure that the observed f-electron physics represents the bulk properties, rather than those of surface Ce atoms. Surface effects are, however, commonly observed in related systems. In particular, the absent \(k_{z}\) dispersion of the α band [apparent from Fig. 1(i)] is reminiscent of previous reports,3436) where the \(k_{z}\) dispersion is affected by surface effects. We note that even if we are observing strong \(k_{z}\) broadening or a surface projection of the bulk electronic state, the agreement with soft x-ray ARPES data23) makes it clear that the observed bands emerge from the same orbitals as the corresponding bulk states [compare panels b, f, d, and i of Fig. 1 to the respective figures in the x-ray ARPES report:23) Figs. 2(b), 2(a), 4(a), and 4(b)].

Band structure along the Z-Y1 direction is systematically collected with on- and off-resonance, σ and π light polarization, and as a function of temperature up to 36 K (Figs. 2 and 3). The on-resonance data displayed in Figs. 2 and 3 exhibits a clear temperature dependence around the Fermi level. Here band structure changes as a function of temperature seem to occur [Figs. 2(c), 2(d), 2(g), 2(h), and 3]. We also notice that the spectral weight of the conduction bands seems to change even far from the Fermi level [Figs. 2(c) and 2(d)]. The off-resonance data by contrast display little or no temperature dependence [Figs. 2(d) and 2(h)], as expected. Altogether, this suggests that the observed resonant temperature dependence is associated with the \(cf\) hybridization, which is known to have a thermal dependence due to the Kondo effect. It can however not be excluded that the temperature effect at large binding energy is linked to resonant photoemission effects.


Figure 3. (Color online) Temperature dependence of quasiparticles. Energy distribution maps recorded on the Ce-resonance along the Z-Y1 direction for different temperatures. Top (bottom) panels are recorded with π (σ) light polarization. Solid lines are momentum distribution curves, integrated over a binding energy (\(E_{\text{B}}\)) range from 30 to 0 meV. The intensity of these curves is normalized to their values at the Y1-point.

The γ-band forms a Dirac-cone like structure around the Y1-point. This band is only observed in the π channel and vanishes when σ polarization is used [see Figs. 2(a) and 2(e)]. The direct implication is that this band has even orbital character with respect to the photoemission mirror plane.37,38) We also stress that this band does not display any significant resonance effects. It does therefore not seem to hybridize with the f-electronic states. Furthermore, it should be pointed out that we do not observe any \(k_{z}\) dispersion for the γ-band [Fig. 1(i)]. This, like the previously mentioned discrepancy in the symmetry of the X point, is again in contrast to previous reports,23,26) where the corresponding band shows a small but appreciably dispersion along \(k_{z}\).

The band structure around the zone center (Γ- and Z-points) also displays a strong dependence on light polarization, on/off resonance condition and temperature. With π polarization, a hole-like band structure (labeled α) is found at the lowest measured temperature. By contrast in the σ channel an electron-like structure accompanied with two resonance structures are observed around the Z-point [Figs. 2(a) and 2(e)]. Both the hole-like structure and the resonances found in the π and σ channels, respectively, are weakened in spectral weight as temperature is increased [Figs. 2(c), 2(g), and 3]. These are the observations that we are going to use in the following to elucidate the orbital nature of the \(cf\)-composed QPs.

4. Analysis

We now turn to an analysis of the \(cf\) hybridization that is dictated by symmetry and extent of orbital overlap. Generally, the conduction electrons can hybridize with the \(f_{5/2}\) states. In a tetrahedral crystal field they split into three levels: \(\Gamma_{7}^{1}= a |J_{z}=\pm 5/2\rangle + b |J_{z} =\mp 3/2\rangle\), \(\Gamma_{6} = |J_{z}=\pm 1/2\rangle\), and \(\Gamma_{7}^{2} = a|J_{z}=\mp 3/2\rangle - b|J_{z}=\pm 5/2\rangle\) with \(a^{2} + b^{2} = 1\). X-ray absorption spectroscopy and inelastic neutron scattering studies yield \(|a|=0.8\) for CeRu2Si2.39) The sign of a has not been determined experimentally but is established to be negative in CeCu2Si2, with a similar absolute value.39) In what follows, we assume that CeCu2Si2 and CeRu2Si2 both have \(a<0\) even though \(a>0\) has previously been used in theoretical literature.4) Since the conduction bands display strong light polarization dependence, they must have significant even and odd orbital character with respect to the photoemission mirror plane. The in-plane Si p orbitals do not have the respective symmetries, along the projected unit cell diagonal. Furthermore, in LaRu2Si2, the low-energy electronic structure predominately stems from the ruthenium d-orbitals.40) In what follows, we assume that this conclusion extends to CeRu2Si2. Consequently, we are considering hybridization integrals between Ru d orbitals and \(f_{5/2}\) states.

The tetrahedral crystal field environment splits the Ru d-orbitals into \(e_{g}\) (\(d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}\) and \(d_{3z^{2}-r^{2}}\)) and \(t_{2g}\) \((d_{xy}, d_{xz}+d_{yz}, d_{xz}-d_{yz})\) states with \(e_{g}\) being energetically favorable. The Ru atoms are found at a mixed valence of Ru2+ and Ru3+, which correspond to \(4d^{6}\) or \(4d^{5}\) electronic configurations. Combined, these two facts imply fully (partially) occupied \(e_{g}\) (\(t_{2g}\)) states. The \(e_{g}\) states \(d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}\) and \(d_{3z^{2}-r^{2}}\) have, respectively, odd and even parity along the diagonals Γ-Σ and Z-Y1. In the \(t_{2g}\)-sector, \(d_{xy}\) is even whereas \(d_{xz}\) and \(d_{yz}\) display mixed character. However, the linear combination \(d_{xz}+d_{yz}\) is even while \(d_{xz}-d_{yz}\) is odd along Γ-Σ.

We are now ready to make our first conclusions. The γ band around the Y1-point displays even character and no significant resonance effect. This band does therefore not hybridize with the localized f-states. By evaluating \(\langle d|\Gamma_{7}^{1}\rangle\) and \(\langle d|\Gamma_{7}^{2}\rangle\), we find that only \(d_{xy}\) is consistent with this observation within σ-coupling,41,42) i.e., only \(\langle d_{xy}|\Gamma_{7}^{1}\rangle=\langle d_{xy}|\Gamma_{7}^{2}\rangle=0\) (see Table I). The absent hybridization of Ru \(d_{xy}\) with the Ce f states is intuitively sound from geometric considerations. The spatial extent of the \(d_{xy}\) orbitals at the Ru sites is directed towards the neighbouring Ru atoms, prohibiting hybridization with Ce f states for symmetry reasons.

Data table
Table I. Symmetry and \(cf\) hybridization overlap integrals. (Top) The parity with respect to the diagonal mirror plane of the different d orbitals is given in the second column. The remaining columns show the values of k-dependent overlap integrals \(|\langle d|f\rangle|\), with \(f\in \{\Gamma_{6},\Gamma_{7}^{1},\Gamma_{7}^{2}\}\) at the Z point in units of the coupling parameter \(t_{df\sigma}\) for \(k_{z}=1\). (Bottom) Parity along the diagonal for the bands α, β, and γ. Observation of hybridization with localized f-electrons is indicated by yes or no. The last column indicates the intensity ratio between \(T_{0}=9\) K and \(T_{1}=36\) K.

The β band around the Z-point completely disappears under π illumination. We can therefore assign odd orbital character to this band and thus, the orbitals \(d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}\) or \(d_{xz}-d_{yz}\) are the only possibilities. Given the tetrahedral crystal field environment, partial filling of \(d_{xz}-d_{yz}\) is expected. Hence, the β band is most likely composed of \(d_{xz}-d_{yz}\) orbital character. The α band is hole-like and located around the zone center. It disappears completely in the σ channel, implying even mirror symmetry. Arguing again with partial occupation of the \(t_{2g}\) states, the α band therefore most conceivably has \(d_{xz}+d_{yz}\) character.

Figure 3 presents a more detailed view of the temperature effect shown in Figs. 2(c), 2(d), 2(g), and 2(h). Both from the spectra and the momentum distribution curves it becomes clear that the α and β features selectively lose spectral weight when the temperature is increased beyond this system's Kondo temperature \(T_{\text{K}}\) of around 20 K.43,44) This is the expected behaviour for Kondo QPs as the coupling between localized and itinerant states becomes weak above \(T_{\text{K}}\), leading to their break up.

5. Discussion

The observation of \(cf\) hybridization around the zone corner is not consistent with previous interpretations of Compton scattering experiments on CeRu2Si2.45) As a function of temperature across \(T_{\text{K}}\) Compton scattering data has been read in terms of Fermi surface changes around the zone corner.45) We also notice that superconducting CeCu2Si2 with similar crystal field environment displays strong zone-corner \(cf\) hybridization with an overall different Fermi surface structure.46)

It is commonly believed that tunable phases of CeCu2Si2 (superconductivity) and CeRu2Si2 (metamagnetic transition) are rooted in the heavy fermion QPs formed by the \(cf\) hybridization. In principle, both unconventional superconductivity and field-induced metamagnetic transitions have been observed in d-electron systems without Kondo physics.47,48) For the case of metamagnetic transitions, for example in the ruthenates, they involve large density of states (DOS).49) In Sr3Ru2O7 and Ca1.8Sr0.2RuO4 the large DOS is reached by tuning a \(d_{xy}\)-dominated van Hove singularity.50) In CeRu2Si2, by contrast, the \(d_{xy}\) band is not carrying any van Hove singularity and does not hybridize with the flat f states. Hence, it is unlikely to be involved in the metamagnetic transition. Instead, the \(\langle d_{xz}-d_{yz}|\Gamma_{7}\rangle\) and \(\langle d_{xz}+d_{yz}|\Gamma_{7}\rangle\) QPs are more likely candidates. Especially, the \(\langle d_{xz}-d_{yz}|\Gamma_{7}\rangle\) QP appears as a very shallow band around the zone center and hence should carry significant DOS. The \(\langle d_{xz}-d_{yz}|\Gamma_{7}\rangle\) QPs are therefore far more likely to be involved in the metamagnetic transition.

We close the discussion with a remark on the relative hybridization overlaps with the \(\Gamma_{7}^{1}\) and \(\Gamma_{7}^{2}\) states. The hybridization overlaps with \(\Gamma_{7}^{2}\) have been found to be larger than those of \(\Gamma_{7}^{1}\) (Table I). In CeCu2Si2, the ratio of occupancies of these two states is expected to flip in favor of \(\Gamma_{7}^{2}\) with increasing temperature over the measured range.4) If we were to assume that the same holds true for CeRu2Si2, higher occupancy of \(\Gamma_{7}^{2}\) would thus imply more hybridized states at higher temperatures. This is at odds with the observation. However, this would most likely simply be due to the fact that the coupling leading to Kondo QP formation above \(T_{\text{K}}\) is so weak that the increased hybridization overlap does not have any noticeable influence.

6. Conclusion

In summary, we have carried out a high resolution on- and off-resonance ARPES study of CeRu2Si2. The resonance ARPES data suggest \(cf\) hybridization to occur predominately around the zone center. Using light polarization analysis, and considerations of crystal field environment the d-orbital character of the conduction bands have been inferred. Theoretical evaluation of the hybridization in combination with experimental temperature dependence led to a unique QP structure determination. The \(cf\) hybridization stems predominately from hybridization of \(d_{3z^{2}-r^{2}}\) and \(d_{xz}, d_{yz}\) ruthenium orbitals. On this basis, implications for metamagnetism have been discussed.
