LINEAR POLARIZATION MEASUREMENTS OF THE SYNCHROTRON RADIATION FROM A BENDING MAGNET B. M. Dirksen 1 and K. W. McLaughlin 2 1 Dept. of Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53713 2 Dept. of Physics and Engineering, Loras College, Dubuque, IA 52001 We have measured the linear polarization of the ionizing radiation on the Stainless Steel Seya beam line 021 at the Synchrotron Radiation Center by measuring the displacement current from a gold surface after this radiation had reflected at a 45 o incident angle from another gold surface. A characteristic cos 2 () pattern was observed upon rotating these surfaces about the ionizing radiation propagation direction. After normalizing to the displacement current for the 45 o reflection surface and accounting for the reflection coefficients of gold surfaces [1,2], we can place a minimum value for the linear polarization of 97%, independent of the ionizing photon energy from 24 eV down to zero order on the beam line monochromator grating.

TEMPERATURE DEPENDENCE OF N=1 BISMUTH-BASED HTSC AS SEEN IN ARPES L. Dudy 1 , B. Müller 1 , A. Krapf 1 , H. Dwelk 1 , H. Höchst 2 and R. Manzke 1 1 Humboldt Universität zu Berlin 2 Synchrotron Radiation Center (SRC) High temperature superconductivity in the cuprates mainly results from the twodimensional electronic structure of the hole-doped CuO-planes. The maximum transition temperature of this kind of material is dependent of the number of CuO-planes per unit-cell and of the layers between the CuO-layers. These layers basically isolate the CuO-planes from each other and dope holes in them. The current status of our investigations focuses on the single-layer material Bi 2 Sr 2-x La x CuO 6+ (Bi-2201), which is available in high quality single crystals. Substituting divalent Sr by trivalent La varies the hole concentration of our samples almost continuously. Because of the low transition temperature this material provides in addition the advantage of investigating the normal state with extremely small temperature broadening. For photoemission measurements Bi-2201 also benefits of the absence of bilayer splitting. This effect occurs by the interaction of electrons between narrow CuO-planes as e.g. observed in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ (Bi-2212). In the past we presented high-resolution photoemission results performed at SRC which below a certain temperature show along the direction of the CuO-bonds a characteristic two-peak structure [1]. It has been shown that the low energy sharp peak is strongly dependent of the applied polarization of the incident light (Fig.1a) [2]. To going further it seems like the structure isn’t visible in each M-direction (Fig. 1b). Another remarkable observation is that this structure is not only seen in the superconducting regime but also persists above the transition temperature and vanishes at higher temperatures (Fig.1c). The comparison of temperature dependence with a pseudo-1d-system [3] points to a pseudo-1d effect. In our interpretation these features are associated with one-dimensionality of the electronic structure leading to spin-charge separation [4]. The necessary condition for this state is the formation of an asymmetric electronic density, a phenomenon called stripes [5]. The present contribution follows this interpretation but profits from the raise of data collected at the SRC in order to explain the phase diagram more precisely and identifies the vanishing of the one-dimensionality with the closing of the pseudogap [6]. Recent results [7] of the universality of the pseudogap temperature T* for every CuO-plane in every cuprate will also be tried to be discussed.
