Abstract

Ternary telluride Ta4Pd3Te16 is a layered superconductor with quasi-one-dimensional characteristics. It has attracted great research interests due to the possible nodal superconductivity and its interplay with adjacent charge-density wave as well as proposed nontrivial band topology. Here, we report low-energy electronic band structure of Ta4Pd3Te16 by means of high-resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We acquired the Fermi surface and detailed band dispersions, directly reflecting its multiband nature. Furthermore, dispersion kinks at ∼8 meV below the Fermi level are unambiguously observed, indicative of strong electron-boson coupling. We suggest these kinks are probably due to electron-phonon coupling with effective coupling constants quantified to be ∼0.72 and ∼0.48 for the γ1 and γ2 bands, respectively. Our results provide valuable information for future studies on the mechanism of superconductivity as well as its intimacy to charge-density wave in Ta4Pd3Te16.
