Mass-renormalized electronic excitations at (pi,0) in the superconducting state of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta

Using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on ${\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{CaCu}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{8+\ensuremath{\delta}},$ we observe a new mass renormalization or ``kink'' in the E vs $\stackrel{\ensuremath{\rightarrow}}{k}$ dispersion relations localized near $(\ensuremath{\pi},0).$ The resolution of bilayer splitting allowed the first direct measurements of this interaction effect. The kink is clearly stronger than the kink observed along the nodal direction, appears at a lower energy (near 40 meV for overdoped samples), and is only apparent in the superconducting state. The kink energy scale defines a cutoff below which well-defined quasiparticle excitations occur. The most likely origin of this effect is coupling to the magnetic-resonance mode observed in inelastic neutron scattering.
