Quasi two-dimensional Fermi surface topography of the delafossite PdRhO$_2$

Materials Science 2017-09-06 v1

Abstract

We report on a combined study of the de Haas-van Alphen effect and angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy on single crystals of the metallic delafossite PdRhO2_2 rounded off by \textit{ab initio} band structure calculations. A high sensitivity torque magnetometry setup with SQUID readout and synchrotron-based photoemission with a light spot size of  50μm~50\,\mu\mathrm{m} enabled high resolution data to be obtained from samples as small as 150×100×20(μm)3150\times100\times20\,(\mu\mathrm{m})^3. The Fermi surface shape is nearly cylindrical with a rounded hexagonal cross section enclosing a Luttinger volume of 1.00(1) electrons per formula unit.
