Description
The newly discovered BaFe2As2 high Tc superconductors have given a huge stimulus in the field of superconductivity after more than two decades of cuprates supremacy. Their relatively simpler crystal structure, the possibility of ambivalent doping (holes and electrons) and their rich phase diagram provide an ideal workbench for a deeper understanding of high Tc superconductivity. Here we present a study based on ARPES and X-ray absorption on the electronic structure evolution upon Co doping in Ba (Fe_{1-x} Co_x)_2 As_2 high Tc superconductors, for the doping levels x=(0,6,8,12,22)%. This study focuses on two points: i) the effective role of Co at different doping levels; ii) the modification upon doping of the band structure and of the Fermi Surface. ARPES data supported by state of the art LDA calculations show a non-rigid band structure modification upon doping and XAS at Co L edge show the metallic nature of Co-As bond.
