Abstract:
For more than a decade, the unusual distribution of electrons observed in ARPES (angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy) data within the energy range of ~30 meV to ~300 meV below the Fermi level, known as the ARPES energy range, has remained a puzzle in the field of iron-based superconductivity. As the electron-phonon coupling of FeSe/SrTiO3 is very strong, our investigation is centered on exploring the synergistic interplay between spin-density waves (SDW) and charge-density waves (CDW) with differential phonons at the interface between antiferromagnetic maxima and minima under wave interference. Our analysis reveals that the synergistic energy is proportional to the ARPES energy range, as seen in the comparison between FeSe and FeSe/SrTiO3. This finding may suggest that the instantaneous interplay between these intricate phenomena may play a role in triggering the observed energy range in ARPES.

Electronic Structure of Atoms
An atom comprises protons and neutrons, which are contained inside the dense, central core called the nucleus, with electrons present around the nucleus. Taking into account the wave–particle duality of electrons and the uncertainty in position around the nucleus, quantum mechanics provides a more accurate model for the atomic structure. It describes atomic orbitals as the regions around the nucleus where electrons of discrete energy exist, characterized by four quantum...
