TL;DR
This study uses angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to determine that the shadow Fermi surface in Bi-based cuprates has a structural origin rather than arising from antiferromagnetic interactions.
Contribution
It provides direct experimental evidence that the shadow bands in Bi-based high-temperature superconductors are structurally induced, not magnetic.
Findings
Shadow band has same peakwidth and dispersion as main band
Shadow band/main band intensity ratio is binding energy independent
Shadow bands originate from structural effects, not magnetic interactions
Abstract
We used angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to study the shadow Fermi surface in one layer Bi2Sr1.6La0.4CuO6+delta and two layer (Bi,Pb)2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta. We find the shadow band to have the same peakwidth and dispersion as the main band. In addition, the shadow band/main band intensity ratio is found to be binding energy independent. Consequently, it is concluded that the shadow bands in Bi-based HTSC do not originate from antiferromagnetic interactions but have a structural origin.
