Strange ARPES line shapes and ECFL

Ever since the discovery of high temperature superconductors, these materials have been quite baffling, to say the least. The central question is whether the standard textbook theories that we know and love already are applicable to these fascinating materials. The general sense is that those standard theories must be augmented to a great extent, if not replaced completely. Why? It is because of many puzzling experimental results that defy a proper understanding so far. ARPES results are among the most mysterious!

As the above advertisement of this UCSC work of ours (at Stanford Synchrotron) says, we might be onto solving this conundrum! Major help came from a theoretical breakthrough (ECFL) by Shastry, which seemed to shed light on a long-standing puzzle in high temperature superconductivity in a big way—explaining anomalous ARPES line shapes. But this is not all. Follow the links below, to see how this initial model (simplified ECFL) had to be modified to explain more data and to shed light on the superconductivity.
