Multiband one-dimensional electronic structure and spectroscopic signature of Tomonoga-Luttinger liquid behavior in K${}_2$Cr${}_3$As${}_3$

Abstract

We present Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy measurements of the quasi-one dimensional superconductor K${}_2$Cr${}_3$As${}_3$. We find that the Fermi surface contains two Fermi surface sheets, with linearly dispersing bands not displaying any significant band renormalizations. The one-dimensional band dispersions display a suppression of spectral intensity approaching the Fermi level according to a linear power law, over an energy range of ~200 meV. This is interpreted as a signature of Tomonoga-Luttinger liquid physics, which provides a new perspective on the possibly unconventional superconductivity in this family of compounds.
