Electronic Structure Of The Titanium-Based Oxypnictide Superconductor Ba0.95na0.05ti2sb2o And Direct Observation Of Its Charge Density Wave Order

Ba0.95Na0.05Ti2Sb2O is a titanium-based oxypnictide superconductor with possible density wave order. We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies on Ba0.95Na0.05Ti2Sb2O. Our STM studies find a charge density wave (CDW) order with the wave vector of (pi, pi). The electronic structure shows both multiorbital and three-dimensional nature, consistent with the theoretical calculations. The observed Fermi surfaces are well nested along the (pi, pi) direction, which might drive the CDW transition. Likely due to the weak strength of the CDW order, we do not observe a leading-edge gap. Instead, we observe an overall spectral weight enhancement with decreasing temperature, but the rate of this enhancement is abruptly reduced or diminished in the CDW state, suggesting the suppression of spectral weight or opening of a partial CDW gap. Our results give a comprehensive picture of the electronic structure and direct observation of the CDW order in Ba0.95Na0.05Ti2Sb2O.
