We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on the overdoped Ba$_{0.3}$K$_{0.7}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ superconductor ($T_c$ = 22 K). We demonstrate that the superconducting (SC) gap on each Fermi surface (FS) is nearly isotropic…
Several possible odd-parity states are listed up group-theoretically and examined in light of recent experiments on Sr$_2$RuO$_4$. Those include some of the $f$-wave pairing states, ${\mib d}({\mib k})\propto{\hat{\mib z}} k_xk_y(k_x + {\rm…
We show that in Sr2RuO4 the Fermi surface geometry as inferred from angle resolved photoemission experiments has important implications for a pairing interaction dominated by incommensurate, strongly anisotropic, spin fluctuations. For a…
In Z2 topological metals, nontrivial band topology and strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) impose symmetry constraints that can stabilize unconventional superconducting states, even when thermodynamic probes indicate an isotropic gap. Here, we…
Spin-orbit coupling has been conjectured to play a key role in the low-energy electronic structure of Sr2RuO4. Using circularly polarized light combined with spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we directly measure the value…
