Abstract

We report the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy observation of the lifting of symmetry-protected band degeneracy, and consequently the breakdown of local tetragonal symmetry in the superconducting state of Li(Fe1−xCox)As. Supported by theoretical simulations, we analyze the doping and temperature dependences of this band splitting and demonstrate an intimate connection between ferro-orbital correlations and superconductivity.
