Large non-adiabatic hole polarons and matrix element effects in the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of dielectric cuprates
2000
It has been made an extention of the conventional theory based on the assumption of the well isolated Zhang-Rice singlet to be a first electron-removal state in dielectric copper oxide. One assumes the photohole has been localised on either small (pseudo)Jahn-Teller polaron or large non-adiabatic polaron enclosed one or four to five $CuO_4$ centers, respectively, with active one-center valent $(^{1}A_{1g}-{}^{1,3}E_{u})$ manifold. In the framework of the cluster model we have performed a model microscopic calculation of the ${\bf k}$-dependence of the matrix element effects and photon polarization effects for the angle-resolved photoemission in dielectric cuprate like $Sr_{2}CuO_{2}Cl_{2}$. We show that effects like the ''remnant Fermi surface'' detected in ARPES experiment for $Ca_{2}CuO_{2}Cl_{2}$ may be, in fact, a reflection of the matrix element effects, not a reflection of the original band-structure Fermi surface, or the strong antiferromagnetic correlations. The measured dispersion-like features in the low-energy part of the ARPES spectra may be a manifestation of the complex momentum-dependent spectral line-shape of the large PJT polaron response, not the dispersion of the well-isolated Zhang-Rice singlet in antiferromagnetic matrix.
