Antiphase Fermi-Surface Modulations Accompanying Displacement Excitation In A Parent Compound Of Iron-Based Superconductors

We investigate the transient electronic structure of BaFe2As2, a parent compound of iron-based superconductors, by time-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. In order to probe the entire Brillouin zone, we utilize extreme ultraviolet photons and observe photoemission intensity oscillation with the frequency of the A(1g) phonon which is antiphase between the zone-centered hole Fermi surfaces (FSs) and zone-cornered electron FSs. We attribute the antiphase behavior to the warping in one of the zone-centered hole FSs accompanying the displacement of the pnictogen height and find that this displacement is the same direction as that induced by substitution of P for As, where superconductivity is induced by a structural modification without carrier doping in this system.
