Description

Many perovskite transition metal oxides (TMOs) exhibit metal-insulator transitions whose complex physics is not fully understood. We use soft-X-ray ARPES to visualize how the electrons delocalize and couple to bosonic lattice excitations in CaMnO3 upon its doping with Ce. We show the progressive development of a complex Fermi surface where mobile electrons weakly coupled to lattice coexist with much heavier charge carriers formed by strongly coupled polarons. The latter originate from a boost of electron-phonon interaction (EPI) when the populated bandwidth becomes of the order of phonon energy, breaking down the Migdal theorem and invoking high-order terms of EPI. Our results shed light on the complex transport response of Ce-doped CaMnO3 and suggest strategies to engineer TMO-based quantum matter.
