Abstract

We report on a combined study of the de Haas-van Alphen effect and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on single crystals of the metallic delafossite PdRhO2 rounded off by ab initio band structure calculations. A high-sensitivity torque magnetometry setup with superconducting quantum interference device readout and synchrotron-based photoemission with a light spot size of 50μm enabled high-resolution data to be obtained from samples as small as 150×100×20(μm)3. The Fermi surface shape is nearly cylindrical with a rounded hexagonal cross section enclosing a Luttinger volume of 1.00(1) electrons per formula unit.
