We examine multiple techniques for extracting information from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data, and test them against simulated spectral functions for electron-phonon coupling. We find that, in the low-coupling regime, it is possible to extract self-energy and bare-band parameters through a self-consistent Kramers-Kronig bare-band fitting routine. We also show that the effective coupling parameters deduced from the renormalization of quasiparticle mass, velocity, and spectral weight are momentum dependent and, in general, distinct from the true microscopic coupling; the latter is thus not readily accessible in the quasiparticle dispersion revealed by ARPES.

Phonon-mediated spin-flipping mechanism in the spin ices Dy$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ and Ho$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$
为了理解自旋冰Ho $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$和Dy $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$中出现的磁翻转动力学,有必要研究这些材料中自旋翻转的机制。目前认为有两个过程:低温和中温下的量子隧穿和高温下的热激活。我们确定了晶体场和光学声子激发之间可能的耦合,并构建了一个严格约束的声子介导的自旋翻转模型,定量描述了这两种化合物中的高温过程,通过准弹性中子散射测量。我们支持该模型与Ho $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$中晶体场态和光学声子之间耦合的直接实验证据。
