Abstract

In unconventional superconductors, the normal state electronic properties often strongly constrain the mechanism of superconductivity, and the electronic structure depends strongly on the crystal structure.  I will discuss our recent angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) studies on two materials where normal state electronic structure as well as crystal structure plays an important role in their propensity towards superconductivity.  The first is LaNiGa2, a purported time-reversal-symmetry breaking superconductor, where recent availability of single-crystals has prompted a re-evaluation of the electronic structure and mechanism of superconductivity.  The second is WTe2, a material that can be rendered superconducting in several different ways, most of which involve increasing electron density.  We discuss changes in electronic and crystal structure upon electron doping.
