Quasiparticle dispersion in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 is investigated with improved angular resolution as a function of temperature and doping.

This is in strong contrast result on Ca$_{2-x}$Na$_x$CuO$_2$Cl$_2$ (Na-CCOC), which shows deviation theorem. The differences between LSCO and Na-CCOC are correlated...

With aid first-principles calculations, we show these defects possess symmetric double-well energy minimum with moderate intervening barrier. The calculated activation energies suggest relatively easy hopping H atoms between two minima (a field-aided shuttling mechanism). This mechanism can explain...
