# Suppression of electronic correlations by chemical pressure from FeSe to FeS

## TL;DR

This study uses high-resolution spectroscopy to show that sulfur substitution in FeSe reduces electronic correlations and alters the Fermi surface, providing insights into tuning superconductivity in iron-based chalcogenides.

## Contribution

It demonstrates how chemical pressure via sulfur substitution suppresses electronic correlations and modifies the Fermi surface in FeSe, offering a new way to tune superconducting properties.

## Key findings

- Fermi velocities increase with sulfur substitution.
- Band renormalizations are suppressed towards 1.5-2 in FeS.
- Fermi surface size increases but remains smaller than theoretical predictions.

## Abstract

Iron-based chalcogenides are complex superconducting systems in which orbitally-dependent electronic correlations play an important role. Here, using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigate the effect of these electronic correlations outside the nematic phase in the tetragonal phase of superconducting FeSe1-xSx (x = 0; 0:18; 1). With increasing sulfur substitution, the Fermi velocities increase significantly and the band renormalizations are suppressed towards a factor of 1.5-2 for FeS. Furthermore, the chemical pressure leads to an increase in the size of the quasi-two dimensional Fermi surface, compared with that of FeSe, however, it remains smaller than the predicted one from first principle calculations for FeS. Our results show that the isoelectronic substitution is an effective way to tune electronic correlations in FeSe1-xSx, being weakened for FeS with a lower superconducting transition temperature. This suggests indirectly that electronic correlations could help to promote higher-Tc superconductivity in FeSe.
