Doping and Temperature Dependence of the Mass Enhancement Observed in the Cuprate Bi[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]CaCu[sub 2]O[sub 8 + delta]

/ Abstract
High-resolution photoemission is used to study the electronic structure of the cuprate superconductor, Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+delta), as a function of hole doping and temperature. A kink observed in the band dispersion in the nodal line in the superconducting state is associated with coupling to a resonant mode observed in neutron scattering. From the measured real part of the self-energy it is possible to extract a coupling constant which is largest in the underdoped regime, then decreasing continuously into the overdoped regime.
