Electronic spectra and their relation to the (pi, pi) collective mode in High-T{sub c} superconductors.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.
The photoemission line shape near ({pi},0) in Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub 8+{delta}} below T{sub c} is characterized by a sharp peak, followed at higher energy by a dip and hump. We study the evolution of this line shape as a function of momentum, temperature, and doping. We find the hump scales with the peak and persists above T{sub c} in the pseudogap state. We present strong evidence that the peak-dip-hump structure arises from the interaction of electrons with a collective mode of wave vector ({pi},{pi}). The inferred mode energy and its doping dependence agree well with a magnetic resonance observed by neutron scattering.
