Abstract
We report on the results of angle-resolved photoemission experiments on a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) -chain compound , which shows a gigantic nonlinear optical effect. A “band” having about 500 meV energy dispersion is found in the first half of the Brillouin zone, but disappears at . These spectral features are well reproduced by the chain model with a small charge-transfer energy compared with that of 1D Cu-O compounds. We propose that this smaller is the origin of the absence of clear spin-charge separation in the photoemission spectra and the strong nonlinear optical effect.
