Orbital selectivity of the kink in the dispersion of Sr2RuO4
We present detailed energy dispersions near the Fermi level on the monolayer
perovskite ruthenate Sr2RuO4, determined by high-resolution angle-resolved
photoemission spectroscopy. An orbital selectivity of the kink in the
dispersion of Sr2RuO4 has been found: A kink for the Ru 4d_xy orbital is
clearly observed, but not for the Ru 4d_yz and 4d_zx ones. The result provides
insight into the origin of the kink.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Effects of next-nearest-neighbor hopping on the electronic structure of cuprates
Photoemission spectra of underdoped and lightly-doped
BiPbSrCa{\it R}CuO ( Pr, Er)
(BSCCO) have been measured and compared with those of LaSrCuO
(LSCO). The lower-Hubbard band of the insulating BSCCO, like
CaCuOCl, shows a stronger dispersion than LaCuO from () to (). The flat band at () is found generally deeper in BSCCO. These observations
together with the Fermi-surface shapes and the chemical potential shifts
indicate that the next-nearest-neighbor hopping of the
single-band model is larger in BSCCO than in LSCO and that
rather than the super-exchange influences the pseudogap energy scale.Comment: 5 pages,4 figures, 1 tabl
An Isotopic Fingerprint of Electron-Phonon Coupling in High-Tc Cuprates
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with low-energy tunable photons
along the nodal direction of oxygen isotope substituted Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta
reveals a distinct oxygen isotope shift near the electron-boson coupling "kink"
in the electronic dispersion. The magnitude (a few meV) and direction of the
kink shift are as expected due to the measured isotopic shift of phonon
frequency, which are also in agreement with theoretical expectations. This
demonstrates the participation of the phonons as dominant players, as well as
pinpointing the most relevant of the phonon branches.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
