Abstract

Photoemission spectra of the high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 near (π,0) show a dramatic change when cooling below Tc: the broad peak in the normal state turns into a sharp low-energy peak followed by a higher binding-energy hump. Recent experiments find that this low-energy peak persists over a significant range in momentum space. We show in this paper that these data are well described by a simple model of electrons interacting with a collective mode that appears only below Tc.
