Gap opening and orbital character in Ba(Fe1-xCox)2As2

f


Polarization-dependent ARPES measurements performed at low photon energy along high-symmetry directions in the Brillouin zone made it possible to get new insight into the role of the five Fe 3d orbitals in the complex electronic structure of Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 close to the Fermi level, and in particular, into the nature of the holelike pockets. Two distinct inner α pockets could be disentangled, suggesting that their origin is probably due to hybridized dxz and dyz, while the complex outer β pocket is mainly of dz2 nature.
The observation of momentum- and band-dependent superconducting gaps allowed us to detect the gap opening across Tc for both α and β pockets. These results confirm that the superconducting order parameter is consistent with a s± symmetry, and suggest that multiple harmonic terms may be included in its description.
