Abstract

We model a single layer of heavily electron-doped FeSe by spin-12 moments over a square lattice of iron atoms that include the 3dxz and 3dyz orbitals, at strong on-site Coulomb repulsion. Above half filling, we find emergent hole bands below the Fermi level at the center of the one-iron Brillouin zone in a half-metal state characterized by hidden magnetic order and by electron-type Fermi surface pockets at wave numbers that double the unit cell along the principal axes. “Replicas” of the emergent hole bands exist at lower energy in the two-iron Brillouin zone. Exact calculations with two mobile electrons find evidence for isotropic Cooper pairs that alternate in sign between the electron bands and the emergent hole bands.
