Abstract

We present a comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of Ca1.8_{1.8}Sr0.2_{0.2}RuO4_4. Four distinct bands are revealed and along the Ru-O bond direction their orbital characters are identified through a light polarization analysis and comparison to dynamical mean-field theory calculations. Bands assigned to dxz,dyzd_{xz}, d_{yz} orbitals display Fermi liquid behavior with fourfold quasiparticle mass renormalization. Extremely heavy fermions - associated with a predominantly dxyd_{xy} band character - are shown to display non-Fermi-liquid behavior. We thus demonstrate that Ca1.8_{1.8}Sr0.2_{0.2}RuO4_4 is a hybrid metal with an orbitally selective Fermi liquid quasiparticle breakdown.
