Abstract

We investigate the electronic structure of highly conducting perovskite SrMoO3 using valence band photoemission spectroscopy and electronic structure calculations. Large intensity corresponding to coherent feature close to Fermi level is captured by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. An additional satellite at ∼3 eV binding energy remains absent in DFT, hybrid functional (DFT-hybrid) and dynamical mean field theory (DFT + DMFT) calculations. Mo 4d spectra obtained with different surface sensitive photoemission spectroscopy suggest different surface and bulk electronic structures. DFT + DMFT spectral function is in excellent agreement with the coherent feature in the bulk Mo 4d spectra, revealing moderate electron correlation strength. A large plasmon satellite and signature of strong electron correlation are observed in the surface spectra, while the bulk spectra exhibits a weak plasmon satellite.
