Angle-resolved photoemission spectra of single-crystal Bi2Sr2CaCu2Ox

Abstract
Angle-resolved photoemission measurements have been made on the recently discovered high-Tc superconductor Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 Ox. From the results, E vs k? dispersion curves have been obtained along two principal symmetry directions in the two-dimensional Brillouin zone. Compared to results of one-electron band calculations, the observed bands are shifted and distorted by strong correlation effects. One band intersects the Fermi level. This band is assigned to the renormalized ‘‘heavy-electron’’ band.
