Abstract.

We study the reconfiguration of the angular resolved photoemission spectrum near M point which occurs in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 upon cooling below the superconducting transition temperature. Restricting our attention to the case of underdoped samples we offer a phenomenological mechanism-independent explanation for this effect. It is demonstrated that under certain circumstances the emergence of a peak can be linked to the normal state pseudogap. All of the basic experimental observations, including weak peak dispersion, “dip-and-hump” shape of the superconducting state spectrum and appearance of the peak at the temperatures somewhat higher than the critical temperature, are naturally explained.

  19. If \(\sigma^{\cal A}\) is a frequency-independent quantity then its imaginary part zero and, therefore, \({\rm Re\ }((\sigma^{\cal A})^2) = (\sigma^{\cal A})^2 > 0\). Even if \(\sigma^{\cal A}\) has some \(\omega\)-dependence \({\rm Re\ }(\sigma^{\cal A})^2\) is still positive in the range of interest provided that this dependence is a weak one

  21. The author was unable to find any work done on the peak dispersion for the underdoped BSCCO. However, the data for the optimally doped and overdoped samples are available. For example, reference [9] shows that the dispersion curve of the peak for optimally doped sample is flat. Since most of the peak properties does not drastically change with doping we expect to have no dispersion on the underdoped side as well
