Abstract:High resolution laser-based angle-resolved photoemission measurements are carried out on Bi2Sr2CuO6+δ superconductor covering a wide doping range from heavily underdoped to heavily overdoped samples. Two obvious energy scales are identified in the nodal dispersions: one is the well-known 50–80 meV high energy kink and the other is <10 meV low energy kink. The high energy kink increases monotonously in its energy scale with increasing doping and shows weak temperature dependence, while the low energy kink exhibits a non-monotonic doping dependence with its coupling strength enhanced sharply below Tc. These systematic investigations on the doping and temperature dependence of these two energy scales favor electron-phonon interactions as their origin. They point to the importance in involving the electron-phonon coupling in understanding the physical properties and the superconductivity mechanism of high temperature cuprate superconductors.
