Abstract

High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been carried out on Sr ₂RuO ₄. We observe clearly two sets of Fermi surface sheets near the (π,0)-(0,π) line, which are most likely attributed to the surface and bulk Fermi surface splitting of the β band. This is in strong contrast to the nearly null surface and bulk Fermi surface splitting of the α band, although both have identical orbital components. Extensive band structure calculations are performed by considering various scenarios, including structural distortion, spin-orbit coupling, and surface ferromagnetism. However, none of them can explain such a qualitative difference of the surface and bulk Fermi surface splitting between the α and β sheets. This unusual behavior points to an unknown order on the surface of Sr ₂RuO ₄ that remains to be uncovered. Its revelation will be important for studying and utilizing novel quantum phenomena associated with the surface of Sr ₂RuO ₄ as a result of its being a possible p-wave chiral superconductor and a topological superconductor.
