Pseudospin in LaO<sub>1/2</sub>F<sub>1/2</sub>BiX<sub>2</sub> (X=S,Se)

ORAL

Abstract

The layered material Re(O,F)Bi(S,Se)2 has drawn attention for its superconductivity. In addition to experiments that suggest unconventional superconductivity [1,2], an upper critical field (Hc2) considerably surpassing the Pauli limit has been found for in-plane fields [3,4]. In this talk, we will discuss the electronic valence bands and their spin states in LaO1/2F1/2BiX2 from DFT calculations and symmetry-based model analyses. A mechanism that accounts for the high Hc2 will also be presented.
