NCCO: Examining antiferromagnetic hotspots and spin texture comparison with Bi-based cuprates*

Recent work on cuprate Bi2212 has revealed a nontrivial spin texture with a rashba-like spin orbit coupling. This texture has been attributed to local inversion symmetry breaking that causes a local electric field within the material. Theory suggests that this property is due to the specific structure of the layers in Bi2212. We examine the spin texture in single-layer electron-doped cuprate NCCO and show how it fits in with the proposed theory. In addition, equilibrium data taken on different dopings of NCCO are compared to recent work showing fermi surface reconstruction. Here we focus on the antiferromagnetic hotspots along the zone boundary. Overall we show part of the picture of how NCCO fits in with the current understanding of cuprates and some of their properties.
