We report on the evolution of the Fermi surface, the superconducting gap and the band dispersion around the extended saddle point $k=(\\pi,0)$ with hole doping in the superconducting and metallic phases. As hole concentration $x$ decreases, the flat band at $(\\pi,0)$ moves from above the Fermi level ($E_F$) for $x>0.2$ to below $E_F$ for $x<0.2$, and is further lowered down to $x=0.05$. From the leading-edge shift of ARPES spectra, the magnitude of the superconducting gap around $(\\pi,0)$ is found to monotonically increase as $x$ decreases from $x=0.30$ down to $x=0.05$ even though $T_c$ decreases in the underdoped region, and the superconducting gap appears to smoothly evolve into the normal-state gap at $x=0.05$. It is shown that the energy scales characterizing these low-energy structures have similar doping dependences. For the heavily overdoped sample ($x=0.30$), the band dispersion and the ARPES spectral lineshape are analyzed using a simple phenomenological self-energy form, and the electronic effective mass enhancement factor $m^*/m_b \\simeq 2$ has been found. As the hole concentration decreases, an incoherent component that cannot be described within the simple self-energy analysis grows intense in the high-energy tail of the ARPES peak. Some unusual features of the electronic structure observed for the underdoped region ($x \\lesssim 0.10$) are consistent with the numerical works on the stripe model.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-12-18T13:53:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "electronic structure", "doping dependent evolution", "metallic phases", "effective mass enhancement factor", "superconducting gap" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
