Multiple-pseudogap phases in the hydrogen-doped LaFeAsO system

Abstract

The low-energy electronic structure of LaFeAs⁢O1−𝑥⁢H𝑥 (0.0≤𝑥≤0.60), a system which exhibits two superconducting domes and antiferromagnetic orders in its phase diagram, is investigated by utilizing laser photoemission spectroscopy. From the precise temperature-dependent measurement of the spectra near the Fermi level, we find a suppression of the density of states with cooling, namely a pseudogap formation, for all doping range. The pseudogap gets suppressed on doping through the first superconducting dome regime to the higher-𝑥 region, whereas it tends to recover when further increasing 𝑥 toward the second antiferromagnetic ordered phase. The systematic doping dependence indicates the different origins of pseudogaps in the low- and high-𝑥 regions, possibly related to the respective antiferromagnetic ground states residing at both ends of the phase diagram.
