Abstract

The electronic structure of the normal state of the underdoped cuprates has thus far remained mysterious, with neither the momentum space location nor the charge carrier type of constituent small Fermi surface pockets being resolved. Whereas quantum oscillations have been interpreted in terms of a nodal-antinodal Fermi surface including electrons at the antinodes, photoemission indicates a solely nodal density-of-states at the Fermi level. Here we examine both these possibilities using extended quantum oscillation measurements. Second harmonic quantum oscillations in underdoped YBa₂Cu₃O(₆+x) are shown to arise chiefly from oscillations in the chemical potential. We show from the relationship between the phase and amplitude of the second harmonic with that of the fundamental quantum oscillations that there exists a single carrier Fermi surface pocket, likely located at the nodal region of the Brillouin zone, with the observed multiple frequencies arising from warping, bilayer splitting and magnetic breakdown.
