title: Missing xy-band Fermi surface in 4d transition-metal oxide Sr2RhO4: effect of the octahedra rotation on the electronic structure.
abstract: Electronic structures of the 4d transition-metal oxide compound Sr2RhO4 are investigated by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density-functional electronic structure calculations. In the measured Fermi surfaces (FS) of Sr2RhO4, the xy-band FS sheet expected from the well-established results of the FS of Sr2RuO4 is missing, the volume of which should be different only by one additional electron for Sr2RhO4. The apparent contradiction is resolved by a careful analysis of the band structure where the rotation of octahedra results in the hybridization of e(g) and t(2g) states and thus plays a key role in the determination of the electronic structure near EF. The modification of the FS structure due to the distorted lattice is related to the charge transfer among the orbital states and suggested to be relevant to the metal-insulator transition in Ca(2-x)Sr(x)RuO4.
