Abstract

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy at a temperature of 1 K is used to determine the wave-vector dependence of the spectral gap and band renormalization due to electron-phonon coupling in the layered charge-density-wave superconductor 2H-NbSe2. The measured gap size and coupling parameter are Fermi-surface-sheet dependent and anisotropic. The largest energy gap, highest coupling strength, and strongest variation in both quantities are found on the double-walled Nb 4d-derived Fermi-surface sheet that is centered on the corners of the hexagonal Brillouin zone. On this sheet, the spectral gap has two distinct anticorrelated components associated with superconductivity and the charge-density wave. The results establish 2H-NbSe2 as a moderately correlated intermediate-coupling anisotropic multigap superconductor.
