摘要
We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with microfocused beam on a topological linenodal compound CaSb2 which undergoes a superconducting transition at the onset T-c similar to 1.8 K, to clarify the Fermi-surface topology relevant to the occurrence of superconductivity. We found that a three-dimensional hole pocket at the Gamma point is commonly seen for two types of single-crystalline samples fabricated by different growth conditions. On the other hand, the carrier-doping level estimated from the position of the chemical potential was found to be sensitive to the sample fabrication condition. The cylindrical electron pocket at the Y (C) point predicted by the calculations is absent in one of the two samples, despite the fact that both samples commonly show superconductivity with similar T-c's. This suggests a key role of the three-dimensional hole pocket to the occurrence of superconductivity, and further points to an intriguing possibility to control the topological nature of superconductivity by carrier tuning in CaSb2.
