Fig. 3: SDW features in the band structure.

From: Evidence of spin and charge density waves in Chromium electronic bands

Fig. 3

(a, d) and (g, l) panels show the band structures along the different directions in the reciprocal space probed using 638 eV photons with p(s)-polarization, respectively. Panels (b, c, e, f, h, i, m, n) show the unfolded LDA+U band structures for a 21 unit cell SDW system. In order to obtain a M = 0.6μB maximum magnetization of the SDW, U = 0.13 eV was adopted. (b, e, h, m) and (c, f, i, n) panels show the band structures obtained along a path that is orthogonal (parallel) to the SDW propagation direction: green (yellow) triangle in Fig. 1c. o shows a zoom of the ARPES data from (a), combined with the band structure of (b), to highlight the gaps present along the Γ-H direction. The bands have been decomposed according to their symmetry. A rigid shift of +0.2 eV was adopted. The experimental data in (a, d, g, l) are reported using a square root color scale, in (o) a linear color scale has been adopted instead.
