Abstract
We report the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy observation of the lifting of symmetry-protected band degeneracy, and consequently the breakdown of local tetragonal symmetry in the superconducting state of Li(Fe1âxCox)As. Supported by theoretical simulations, we analyze the doping and temperature dependences of this band splitting and demonstrate an intimate connection between ferro-orbital correlations and superconductivity.
