Abstract

We argue that the unusual peak-dip-hump features observed in photoemission experiments on Bi2212 at T≪Tc can be explained by the interaction of the fermionic quasiparticles with overdamped spin fluctuations. We show that the strong spin-fermion interaction combined with the feedback effect on the spin damping due to superconductivity yields the fermionic spectral function A(kF,ω) which simultaneously displays a quasiparticle peak at ω=Δ and a broad maximum (hump) at ω≫Δ. In between the two regimes, the spectral function has a dip at ω∼2Δ. We argue that our theory also explains the tunneling data.
