We report the self-energy associated with random-phase approximation magnetic susceptibility in the hole-doped Bi₂Sr₂CuO₆ (Bi2201) and the electron-doped Nd₂₋ₓCeₓCuO₄ (NCCO) in the overdoped regime within the framework of a one-band Hubbard model. A strong weight is found in the magnetic spectrum around (π,0) at about 360 meV in Bi2201 and 640 meV in NCCO, which yields dispersion anomalies in accord with the recently observed “waterfall” effects in the cuprates.

By carrying out first-principles angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) computations within the local-density-approximation-based band theory framework, we predict the existence of surface states on the (001) surface of the superconductor Nd₂₋ₓCeₓCuO₄ (NCCO). Two surface state bands are identified in the vicinity of the Fermi energy. The associated states possess quite different characteristics in terms of their binding energy, dispersion with k∥, and the polarization and photon energy dependence. Our theoretical predictions offer new insight into the existing ARPES data on NCCO with which they are consistent.

Momentum-resolved inelastic resonant x-ray scattering is used to map the doping evolution of bulk electronic modes in the doped Mott insulator class Nd₂₋ₓCeₓCuO₄. As the doping induced antiferromagnet/superconductor (AFM/SC) transition is approached, we observe an anisotropic redistribution of the spectral weight of collective excitations over a large energy scale along the Γ→(π,π) direction, whereas the modes exhibit broadening (∼1 eV) with relatively little softening along Γ→(π,0) with respect to the parent Mott state (x=0). Our study reveals a closing of the charge gap in the vicinity of the zone center even though the mode softening and spectral redistribution involve an …
