Abstract
We report the electronic structure reconstruction of in the low temperature collapsed tetragonal (CT) phase observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Different from and the annealed where all hole Fermi surfaces are absent in their CT phases, the cylindrical hole Fermi surface still persists in the CT phase of . Furthermore, we found at least three well separated electronlike bands around the zone corner in the CT phase of , which are more dispersive than the electronlike bands in the high temperature tetragonal phase. Based on these observations, we propose that the weakening of correlations (as indicated by the reduced effective mass), rather than the lack of Fermi surface nesting, might be responsible for the absence of magnetic ordering and superconductivity in the CT phase.
