Abstract

In many cases the standard perturbation approach appears to be too simple to describe precisely the angle-resolved photoemission spectrum of a strongly correlated electron system. In particular, to describe the momentum asymmetry observed in the photoemission spectra of high-${T}_{c}$ cuprates, a phenomenological approach based on an extremely correlated Fermi-liquid model has been recently introduced. Here we analyze the general structure of the Green's function of quasiparticles in strongly correlated electron systems and stress that it is defined not only by the self-energy of Hubbard quasiparticles but also by a strength operator. The latter leads to an additional odd momentum contribution to the spectral function and alone can explain the observed asymmetry. So, the asymmetry of the angle-resolved photoemission spectra can be a measure of the strength of electron correlations in materials.

$t-J$ model one-electron renormalizations: high energy features in photoemission experiments of high-$T_c$ cuprates

A. Greco

Recent angle-resolved photoemission experiments in hole doped cuprates reported new and interesting high energy features which may be useful for understanding the electronic properties of these materials. Using a perturbative approach, which allows the calculation of dynamical properties in the $t-J$ model, one-electron spectral properties were calculated. A strongly renormalized quasiparticle band near the Fermi surface and incoherent spectra at high energy were obtained. Among different current experimental interpretations, the obtained results are closer to the interpretation given by Pan {\it et al.}\cite{pan}. The self-energy shows large high energy contributions which are responsible for the incoherent structures showed by the spectral functions and the reduction of the quasiparticle weight and bandwidth. According to the calculation, collective charge fluctuations are the main source for the self-energy renormalizations. For testing if the obtained self-energy is compatible with transport measurement the resistivity versus temperature was estimated.

Angle resolved photoemission spectra of high-Tc superconductors: A Fermi-liquid based analysis

Hayoung Kim, Peter S. Riseborough

Recent high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectra for the high temperature superconductors are analyzed on the basis of a fermi‐liquid theory of highly correlated metals. Due to the presence of large many‐body effects, the region over which typical Landau fermi‐liquid properties holds is small. The spectrum is dominated by the self‐energy variation over an intermediate range of energies, and in this region the spectrum bears a close resemblance to that found in the phenomenological marginal fermi‐liquid theory of Varma et al.

Luttinger-liquid phenomenology and angle-resolved photoemission for single-layer Bi 2 Sr 2 − x La x CuO 6 + δ high-temperature superconductor

Krzysztof Byczuk, C. Janowitz, R. Manzke +2 more

Recently observed splitting in angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on Bi 2 Sr 2 − x La x CuO 6 + δ high-temperature superconductor (Janowitz C. et al. , Europhys. Lett. 60 (2002) 615) is interpreted within the phenomenological Luttinger-liquid framework, in which both the non-Fermi-liquid scaling exponent of the spectral function and the spin-charge separation are introduced. The anomalous Green function with adjustable parameters fits very well to the Fermi edge and to the low-energy part of ARPES along the Γ- M line in the Brillouin zone. In contrast to one-dimensional models with Luttinger-liquid behavior, we find that both the anomalous scaling α and the parameter δ describing the spin-charge separation are momentum dependent. The higher-energy part of the spectra is not accounted for by this simple Luttinger-liquid form of the Green function. In this energy regime, additional scattering processes are plausible to produce the experimentally observed wide incoherent background, which diminishes as the inverse of the energy.

Spectral function of a Luttinger liquid coupled to phonons and angle-resolved photoemission measurements in the cuprate superconductors

Ian P. Bindloss, Steven Allan Kivelson

We compute the finite-temperature single-particle spectral function of a one-dimensional Luttinger liquid coupled to an optical phonon band. The calculation is performed exactly for the case in which electron-phonon coupling is purely forward scattering. We extend the results to include backward scattering with a renormalization group treatment. The dispersion contains a change in velocity at the phonon energy, qualitatively similar to the case of electron-phonon coupling in a Fermi liquid. If the backward scattering part of the the electron-phonon interaction is not too strong compared to the forward scattering part, coupling to phonons also produces a pronounced peak in the spectral function at low energies. The calculated spectral function is remarkably similar to the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of the high-temperature superconductors, including the apparent presence of ``nodal quasiparticles,'' the presence of a ``kink'' in the dispersion, and the non-Fermi-liquid frequency and temperature dependencies. Although a microscopic justification has not been established for treating the electronic dynamics of the cuprates as quasi-one-dimensional, at the very least we take the quality of the comparison as evidence of the non-Fermi-liquid character of the measured spectra.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectra of high- Tc superconductors: A Fermi-liquid-based analysis

Hayoung Kim, Peter S. Riseborough

Recent high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectra for the high-temperature superconductors are analyzed on the basis of a Fermi-liquid-based theory of a highly correlated metal. Due to the presence of large many-body effects, the energy range over which typical Landau Fermi-liquid properties hold is negligibly small. The theoretically calculated spectrum, near the Fermi energy, is dominated by the self-energy variation over an intermediate range of energies. The spectrum is compared and contrasted with other theories as well as with the experimental data.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with quantum gas microscopes

Annabelle Bohrdt, Daniel Greif, Eugene Demler +2 more

Quantum gas microscopes are a promising tool to study interacting quantum many-body systems and bridge the gap between theoretical models and real materials. One of the most powerful experimental methods in solids is angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which measures the single-particle spectral function. The authors propose a measurement scheme to experimentally access the momentum- and energy-resolved spectral function in a quantum gas microscope. As an example for possible applications, the spectrum of a single hole excitation in one-dimensional $t$-$J$ models is calculated and analyzed. A sharp asymmetry in the distribution of spectral weight, reminiscent of the Fermi arcs observed in the pseudogap phase of cuprates, appears in the case of an isotropic Heisenberg spin chain.
