We carry out extensive first-principles doping-dependent computations of angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) intensities in La₂₋ₓSrₓCuO₄ over a wide range of binding energies. Intercell hopping and the associated three dimensionality, which is usually neglected in discussing cuprate physics, is shown to play a key role in shaping the ARPES spectra. Despite the obvious importance of strong coupling effects (e.g., the presence of a lower Hubbard band coexisting with midgap states in the doped insulator), a number of salient features of the experimental ARPES spectra are captured to a surprising extent when kz dispersion is properly included in the analysis.

We present angle-resolved photoemission spectra from the low-index faces of CuAl single crystals using 16.85- and 21.22-eV radiation, together with the computed bulk electronic structure of the alloy within the framework of the muffin-tin coherent-potential approximation (CPA). The d-band complex of Cu is found to suffer shifts of less than 0.1 eV on alloying, whereas the states of s-p symmetry are lowered in energy by as much as on the order of 1 eV. The dispersion curve of the uppermost valence band is measured and with the extrapolation of this curve to the Fermi energy (EF), the Fermi-surface radii along …
