Coupling to a phononic mode in $B{i}_{2-x}P{b}_{x}S{r}_{2}CaC{u}_2{O}_{8+\delta }$: Angle-resolved photoemission

Abstract

The kink in the dispersion and the drop in the width observed by angle-resolved photoemission in the nodal direction of the Brillouin zone of $\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_{2-\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{P}{\mathrm{b}}_{\mathrm{x}}\mathrm{S}{\mathrm{r}}_2\mathrm{CaC}{\mathrm{u}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_{8+\delta }$ (abbreviated as (Pb)Bi2212) has attracted broad interest [1-3]. Surprisingly optimally lead-doped (Pb)Bi2212 with ${\mathrm{T}}_{\mathrm{C}}>89K$ as well as the shadow band were not investigated so far, although the origin of the kink and the drop is still under strong debate. In this context a resonant magnetic-mode scenario and an electron-phonon coupling scenario are discussed controversially. Here we analyze the relevant differences between both scenarios and conclude that the kink and the drop are caused by a coupling of the electronic system to a phononic mode at least in the nodal direction. It is found that besides the dispersion and the drop in the width also the peak height as a new criterion can be used to define the energy scale of the interaction, giving a new means for a precise and consistent determination of the kink energy.
