Systematics of the Photoemission Spectral Function of Cuprates: Insulators and Hole- and Electron-Doped Superconductors

Abstract
Angle-resolved photoemission studies on Sr2CuO2Cl2 at a temperature below its Néel temperature reveal detailed momentum dependent line shape changes as a function of wave vector. While a sharp quasiparticlelike peak is observed near ( π/2,π/2), broad peaks are observed near ( π,0). Additional second and third neighbor hopping terms must be added to the tJ Hamiltonian to account for both the dispersion and the line shape. It is found that this Hamiltonian can be used to explain the measured momentum dependent spectral function for hole-doped materials, both underdoped and overdoped, as well as electron-doped materials.
