Abstract

The self-energy Σ( k,ω), the fundamental function which describes the effects of many-body interactions on an electron in a solid, is usually difficult to obtain directly from experimental data. In this paper, we show that by making certain reasonable assumptions, the self-energy can be directly determined from angle resolved photoemission data. We demonstrate this method on data for the high temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi2212) in the normal, superconducting, and pseudogap phases.
