Influence of the quasiparticle spectral weight in FeSe on spectroscopic, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties
Abstract
We report on an extensive experimental and numerical study of the low-energy electronic properties of superconducting FeSe single crystals, using point-contact Andreev reflection Spectroscopy (PCAR), specific heat, and London penetration depth measurements. Taking explicitly into account Fermi surface anisotropy and recently suggested orbital-selective quasiparticle spectral weights Zi (i =dx y,dx2-y2,dx z,dy z,dz2 ), our calculations quantitatively account for all our measurements as well as data from the literature, assuming that Zy z>Zx z>Zx y . This study confirms the picture of a highly different quantum coherence of the Fe orbitals at the Fermi energy. In particular, the normal state properties (Sommerfeld coefficient and zero-temperature London penetration depth) strongly depend on the Zi values, which seem to be significantly sensitive to disorder.
