Abstract
We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study of the undoped and electron-doped iron pnictides BaFe 2- x Co x As 2 (Ba122) ( x = 0, 0.14) and studied the Fermi surfaces (FSs) and band dispersions near the Fermi level. The FS sheets we observed are consistent with the shrinkage of the hole-like pockets around the Brillouin Zone (BZ) center and the expansion of the electron pockets around the BZ corner in the electron-doped compound as compared to the undoped parent compound. Band dispersions and FSs around the BZ center strongly depend on the photon energy, indicating a three-dimensional (3D) electronic structure. This observation suggests that antiferromagnetism and superconductivity in the pnictides have to be described in terms of an orbital-dependent 3D electronic structure, where FS nesting is not necessarily strong.
