Polarization dependence of the Cu 2p absorption spectra in (Bi0.84Pb0.16)2Sr2CaCu2O8

Abstract
We have studied the polarization dependence of the Cu 2p absorption spectra in a (Bi0.84 Pb0.16 )2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8 single crystal. At normal incidence (E∥xy plane) we found an intense peak at 932.0 eV, which becomes much weaker and shifts 500 meV toward lower energies at grazing incidence (E∥z axis). Also, at grazing incidence a structured absorption step appears starting at 935.8 eV. The interpretation of these results is discussed.
