Findings

Spectral peaks broaden with increasing temperature.

Peak positions shift as temperature rises.

Peak intensities decrease at higher temperatures.

Abstract

In this work we investigate temperature dependence of electronic structure of system with strong electronic correlations and strong electron-phonon interaction modeling cuprates in the frameworks of the three-band p-d-Holstein model by a polaronic version of the generalized tight binding (GTB) method. Within this approach the electronic structure is formed by polaronic quasiparticles constructed as excitations between initial and final polaronic multielectron states. Temperature effect is taken into account by occupation numbers of local excited polaronic states and variations in the magnitude of spin-spin correlation functions. Temperature increasing leads to broadening of the spectral function peak at the top of the valence band, shift of the peak, the decreasing of the peak intensity.
