Abstract:
Angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and resistivity measurements are used to explore the overdoped region of the high temperature superconductor Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+delta). We find evidence for a new crossover line in the phase diagram between a coherent metal phase, for lower temperatures and higher doping, and an incoherent metal phase, for higher temperatures and lower doping. The former is characterized by two well-defined spectral peaks in ARPES due to coherent bilayer splitting and superlinear behavior in the resistivity, whereas the latter is characterized by a single broad spectral feature in ARPES and a linear temperature dependence of the resistivity.
