Anisotropic Electron-Phonon Coupling Uncovered By Angle-Resolved Photoemission
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently there has been an accumulation of experimental evidence in the high temperature superconductors suggesting the relevance of electron-phonon coupling in these materials. These findings challenge some well-held beliefs of what electron-phonon interactions can and cannot do. In this article we review evidence primarily from angleresolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements which point out the importance of electronic coupling to certain phonon modes in the cuprates.

Anisotropic electron-phonon coupling and dynamical nesting on the graphene sheets in superconducting CaC6 using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy.
We present the first angle-resolved photoemission studies of electronic structure in CaC6, a superconducting graphite intercalation compound with T_{c}=11.6 K. We find that, contrary to theoretical models, the electron-phonon coupling on the graphene-derived Fermi sheets with high-frequency graphene-derived phonons is surprisingly strong and anisotropic. The shape of the Fermi surface is found ...
متن کاملDispersion of incoherent spectral features in systems with strong electron-phonon coupling
We study (inverse) photoemission from systems with strong coupling of doped carriers to phonons. Using an adiabatic approximation, we develop a method for calculating spectra. This method is particularly simple for systems where the electron-phonon coupling can be neglected in the initial state, e.g., the undoped t-J model. The theory then naturally explains why the electron-phonon coupling jus...
متن کاملTemperature dependence of the angle resolved photoemission spectra in the undoped cuprates: self-consistent approach to the t-J Holstein model.
We develop a novel self-consistent approach for studying the angle resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) of a hole in the t-J Holstein model giving perfect agreement with numerically exact diagrammatic Monte Carlo (DMC) data at zero temperature for all regimes of electron-phonon coupling. Generalizing the approach to finite temperatures, we find that the anomalous temperature dependence of the...
متن کاملTheoretical study on isotopic shift in angle - resolved photoemission spectra of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8
Abstract. We develop a path-integral theory to study the angle-resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) of high-Tc superconductors based on a two-dimensional model for the CuO2 conduction plane, including both electron-electron (e-e) and electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions. Comparing our result with the experimental one of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, we find that the experimentally observed isotopic band shif...
متن کاملPolaronic behavior of undoped high-T(c) cuprate superconductors from angle-resolved photoemission spectra.
We present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data on undoped La2CuO4, indicating polaronic coupling between bosons and charge carriers. Using a shell model, we calculate the electron-phonon coupling and find that it is strong enough to give self-trapped polarons. We develop an efficient method for calculating ARPES spectra in undoped systems. Using the calculated couplings, we f...
