Special Photon Energies For Extracting The Bosonic Spectral Function Mediating Superconductivity In Bi₂Sr₂Cacu₂O₈ Via Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy, M. Lindroos, R. S. Markiewicz, A. Bansil Apr 2012

Special Photon Energies For Extracting The Bosonic Spectral Function Mediating Superconductivity In Bi₂Sr₂Cacu₂O₈ Via Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy, M. Lindroos, R. S. Markiewicz, A. Bansil

Robert Markiewicz

We delineate the complex nature of the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) matrix element in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ and identify photon energies where the matrix element is insensitive to wave vector and/or frequency. These special photon energies provide a unique route for extracting the spectral function of the bosonic glue mediating superconductivity and for obtaining self-energies more generally via ARPES experiments.

The high-energy kink or the waterfall effect seen in the photoemission spectra of cuprates is suggestive of the coupling of quasiparticles to a high-energy bosonic mode with implications for the mechanism of superconductivity. Recent experiments, however, indicate that this effect may be an artifact produced entirely by matrix element effects, i.e., by the way the photoemitted electron couples to incident photons in the emission process. In order to address this issue directly, we have carried out realistic computations of the photointensity in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ where the effects of the matrix element are included together with those of the corrections to the …

Site-Selectivity Properties Of The Angle-Resolved Photoemission Matrix Element In Bi₂Sr₂Cacu₂O₈, S. Sahrakorpi, M. Lindroos, A. Bansil

Arun Bansil

We show that the angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) spectra for emission from the bonding as well as the antibonding Fermi-surface sheet in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ possess remarkable site, selectivity properties, in that the emission for photon energies less than 25 eV is dominated by pd excitations from just the O sites in the CuO₂ planes. There is little contribution from Cu electrons to the ARPES intensity, even though the initial states at the Fermi energy contain an admixture of Cu-d and O-p electrons. We analyze the origin of this effect by considering the nature of the associated dipole matrix element in detail and …
