Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 117003 (2004) [4 pages]Coupling of the B1g Phonon to the Antinodal Electronic States of Bi2Sr2Ca0.92Y0.08Cu2O8+δReceived 25 February 2004; published 10 September 2004 Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on optimally doped Bi2Sr2Ca0.92Y0.08Cu2O8+δ uncovers a coupling of the electronic bands to a 40 meV mode in an extended k-space region away from the nodal direction, leading to a new interpretation of the strong renormalization of the electronic structure seen in Bi2212. Phenomenological agreements with neutron and Raman experiments suggest that this mode is the B1g oxygen bond-buckling phonon. A theoretical calculation based on this assignment reproduces the electronic renormalization seen in the data. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
