We analyzed photoemission data for several doping levels of the Bi2Sr2
CaCu2O8+x compounds, ranging from overdoped to underdoped. We show tha
t the high frequency part of the spectra near (0,pi) can be described
by Fermi liquid theory in the overdoped regime, but exhibits a non-Fer
mi liquid behavior in the underdoped regime. We further demonstrate th
at this behavior fits reasonably well to a 1/root omega behavior sugge
sted for systems with strong spin fluctuations. [S0163-1829(98)50338-4
