Effect of Incommensurate Charge-Density Wave Scattering on the Electronic Structure of High-Tc Cuprates

We argue that the collective mode as observed in angle resolved photoemission spectroslopy (ARPES) on a large class of cuprates can be associated with dynamic incommensurate CDW fluctuations present in these materials. This scenario is substantiated by a comparison of calculated spectra with experimental ARPES data where we obtain a mode frequency that decreases toward optimal doping, thus strongly supporting the existence of a quantum critical point around this concentration. Moreover, we extract the temperature dependence of the associated bosonic spectrum from ARPES data, where it turns out that there is a continuous evolution from mode-type behavior below T _c to a marginal Fermi liquid structure well above T _c.

Doping dependence of low-energy quasiparticle excitations in superconducting Bi2212

The doping-dependent evolution of the d-wave superconducting state is studied from the perspective of the angle-resolved photoemission spectra of a high-T_c cuprate, Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂ O_8+δ (Bi2212). The anisotropic evolution of the energy gap for Bogoliubov quasiparticles is parametrized by critical temperature and superfluid density. The renormalization of nodal quasiparticles is evaluated in terms of mass enhancement spectra. These quantities shed light on the strong coupling nature of electron pairing and the impact of forward elastic or inelastic scatterings. We suggest that the quasiparticle excitations in the superconducting cuprates are profoundly affected by doping-dependent screening.

Angle-resolved photoemission spectra in one-dimensional Hubbard-Holstein model

In order to understand the effects of electron-phonon coupling and Coulomb interactions in angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy(ARPES),a spin-1/2 Hubbard-Holstein model at half-filling is theoretically investigated by means of the mean field theory and classical Monte Carlo simulation method.It shows that the spectral shape of the one-dimensional system is significantly modified by the electron-phonon coupling and Coulomb interactions.The suppression of charge-density wave in one-dimensional system ...     

Substrate Doping Effect and Unusually Large Angle van Hove Singularity Evolution in Twisted Bi‐ and Multilayer Graphene

Graphene has demonstrated great potential in new‐generation electronic applications due to its unique electronic properties such as large carrier Fermi velocity, ultrahigh carrier mobility, and high material stability. Interestingly, the electronic structures can be further engineered in multilayer graphene by the introduction of a twist angle between different layers to create van Hove singularities (vHSs) at adjustable binding energy. In this work, using angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy with sub‐micrometer spatial resolution, the band structures and their evolution are systematically studied with twist angle in bilayer and trilayer graphene sheets. A doping effect is directly observed in graphene multilayer system as well as vHSs in bilayer graphene over a wide range of twist angles (from 5° to 31°) with wide tunable energy range over 2 eV. In addition, the formation of multiple vHSs (at different binding energies) is also observed in trilayer graphene. The large tuning range of vHS binding energy in twisted multilayer graphene provides a promising material base for optoelectrical applications with broadband wavelength selectivity from the infrared to the ultraviolet regime, as demonstrated by an example application of wavelength selective photodetector.
