We discuss the effects of interlayer hopping and the resulting kz dispersion in the cuprates within the framework of the one-band tight-binding model Hamiltonian. Specific forms of the dispersion relations in terms of the in-plane hopping parameters t, t′, t″, and t‴ and the effective interlayer hopping tz in La₂₋ₓSrₓCuO₄ (LSCO) and Nd₂₋ₓCeₓCuO₄ (NCCO) and the added intracell hopping tbi between the CuO₂ bilayers in Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈ (Bi2212) are presented. The values of the “bare” parameters are obtained via fits with the first-principles local-density-approximation- (LDA-) based band structures in LSCO, NCCO, and Bi2212. The corresponding “dressed” parameter sets which account for …
