Evidence of a universal relation between electron-mode coupling and �� in Ba1−�⁢K�⁢Fe2⁢As2 superconductor from laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy by Malaeb, W.

“…We performed a laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study on a wide doping range of the Ba1−⁢K⁢Fe2⁢As2 (BaK) iron-based superconductor. We observed a robust low-binding energy (BE) kink structure (kink1) in the dispersion which is doping dependent whereby its energy peaks at the optimally doped level (∼⁢0.4) and decreases towards the underdoped and overdoped sides. …”
