I. Vobornik et al., DOPING DEPENDENCE OF THE FERMI-SURFACE IN THE CUPRATES - A PHOTOEMISSION INVESTIGATION, Helvetica Physica Acta, 69, 1996, pp. 25-26
We have exploited angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) to
study the electronic structure of single crystal samples of high T-c
material Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta and of the antiferromagnetic insulator Sr
2CuO2Cl2. As one moves away from optimal doping into underdoped region
(T-c as low as 30K), the large Fermi surface sheet centered around th
e (pi,pi) point evolves into a small pocket centered around (pi/2,pi/2
), and the saddle-point van Hove singularity is lost This evolution ca
n be extrapolated to Sr2CuO2Cl2, which is apparently well described by
the mean field spin-density wave calculation.
