Electronlike Fermi surface in bismuth cuprates determined by ARPES: Bulk versus surface photoemission

Abstract
We report an extensive angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of a set of quickly dispersing electronic states near the Γ(0,0) point in Bi2Sr2CaCu2xNixOy(x<1%) single crystals at photon energy hν=38 eV. These states cross the Fermi surface along both the ΓM and ΓY directions and are outside the well-known large Fermi surface and satellite bands due to the superstructure in Bi2212. The electronic states have a strong nonmonotonic photon energy dependence and demonstrate a symmetry different from the symmetry of the Cu-O plane. The possible origin of these electronic states is discussed. In addition, we show that the whole Fermi-surface topology in Bi2212 is photon energy dependent.
