Abstract

We have performed an angular-resolved photoemission study of underdoped, optimally doped and overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x samples using a wide photon energy range (15 - 100 eV). We report a small and broad non-dispersive A1g peak in the energy distribution curves whose intensity scales with doping. We attribute it to a local impurity state similar to the one observed recently by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and identified as the oxygen dopants. Detailed analysis of the resonance profile and comparison with the single-layered Bi2Sr2CuO6+x suggest a mixing of this local state with Cu via the apical oxygens.
