Abstract

We have performed low-temperature high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on a non-cuprate superconductor Sr₂RuO₄ (T_c ∼ 1 K) which has the same crystal structure as La₂CuO₄ but with RuO₂ layers replacing CuO₂. We found that Sr₂RuO₄ has an extended van-Hove singularity (VHS) close to E_F(20 ± 2 meV) like high-T_c cuprates, regardless of the character of the electronic states at E_F, suggesting that the extended VHS is a general feature of a two-dimensional d-electron metal. This demands re-examination of the VHS scenario for the superconducting properties of cuprates, while T-linear resistivity seems to be consistent with this result.
