Low-energy kink in the nodal dispersion of copper-oxide superconductors: Insights from Dynamical Mean Field Theory

Abstract

Motivated by the observation in copper-oxide high-temperature superconductors, we investigate the appearance of kinks in the electronic dispersion due to coupling to phonons for a system with strong electronic repulsion. We study a Hubbard model supplemented by an electron-phonon coupling of Holstein type within Dynamical Mean Field Theory (DMFT) utilizing Numerical Renormalization Group as impurity solver. Paramagnetic DMFT solutions in the presence of large repulsion show a kink only for large values of the electron-phonon coupling $\lambda$ or large doping and, contrary to the conventional electron-phonon theory, the position of such a kink can be shifted to energies larger than the renormalized phonon frequency ${\omega }_0^r$. When including antiferromagnetic correlations we find a stronger effect of the electron-phonon interaction on the electronic dispersion due to a cooperative effect and a visible kink at ${\omega }_0^r$, even for smaller $\lambda$. Our results provide a scenario of a kink position increasing with doping, which could be related to recent photoemission experiments on Bi-based cuprates.
