- 요약Correlated electron systems is a central topic in modern condensed matter physics, both due to the profound significance of emergent phases as well as their potential for technological applications. To harness the power of these materials that reside deeply in the quantum regime, we must first understand the connection between macroscopic properties and microscopic mechanisms. The difficulty with strongly correlated electron systems is that they are usually described by a strongly entangled many-body state, which precludes their understanding by the traditional tools of perturbation theory. This renders experimental measurements all the more important, as we may find many surprises that could not yet be predicted from first principles. One powerful probing tool at the disposal of experimental condensed matter physicists is angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which measures the energy and momentum of electrons within a crystalline material. More importantly, in the context of studying correlated electron systems, ARPES affords the capability to measure interaction effects and order parameters of gapped phases. This dissertation will utilize the ARPES technique to investigate two kinds of correlated electron systems: an unconventional cuprate superconductor Nd2-xCexCuO4(NCCO) and an unusual correlated insulator FeSb2.In the first portion of this dissertation, I will detail systematic ARPES studies of a prototypical n-type cuprate NCCO. These investigations begin near the optimally doped regime near x = 0.15 with the highest superconducting transition temperatures (Tc). By measuring the Bogoliubov quasiparticle peak with ARPES for the first time in the n-type cuprates, we show the existence and importance of a set of "gossamer" Fermi surface states within the energy gap imparted by antiferromagnetism. This result reveal that the single low energy band is fragmented into two sectors of states in the n-type cuprates: one sector reconstructed by the antiferromagnetism provides the pairing interactions and one sector of residual states hosts the paired quasiparticles. Furthermore, we find an unusual form of coupling between the antiferromagnetism and phonons in the form of a replica band copying the dispersion of the antiferromagnetically reconstructed states, highlighting the importance of the lattice involvement in shaping the low energy electronic structure. Moving away from the optimal doped regime, we discover an anomalous normal state gap in underdoped NCCO that is inconsistent with known orders and fluctuations. Instead, this anomalous gap is attributed to a state with incoherent pairs, raising the prospect of engineering much higher Tcin these materials.In the second portion of this dissertation, I will explore the interplay between topology and correlations in the candidate topological Kondo insulator FeSb2. This material is a rare example of a 3d-electron-based correlated insulator exhibiting Kondo lattice behavior, which usually arises from 4felectron systems. Starting from transport investigations of a low temperature resistivity anomaly indicative of surface conduction, I will present spectroscopic evidence for a rich set of surface states that underlie the low temperature transport. Furthermore, I will discuss the observation of anomalous quantum oscillations in high-magnetic-field torque magnetometry measurements, which indicates the existence of unconventional magnetism and Landau quantization in a bulk insulator. Our results pave the way for further comparative studies of 3dand 4fKondo insulators that exhibit unconventional insulating behaviors.
