Lattice Dynamics and Electron Pairing in High Temperature Superconductors

Part of the NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry book series (NAII,volume 183)

Abstract

Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy combined with isotope substitution (16O→18O) sample preparation method is used to probe the effect of the lattice degrees of freedom on the electron dynamics of optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaC2O8+δ high temperature superconductors, as a function of momentum and temperature. Our data show that the lattice dynamics strongly renormalizes the electron dispersion and the photoemission line shapes. The renormalization is enhanced near the anti-nodal region and in the superconducting state, i.e. as the superconducting gap opens up. This unusual behavior is direct evidence that the electron-phonon interaction is correlated with the electron pairing in the high temperature superconductivity.
