Many-body effects in metals can often be captured within the quasiparticle picture, where bare electrons become dressed with bosonic excitations. Angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) is the probe of choice to detect such energy renormalization. Beyond electron-phonon coupling one expects interaction with spin excitations, which was identified in surface states of Fe(110) [1]. For bulk states, symmetry planes of k-space yield the desired hole spectral function.
By high-resolution ARPES we have studied the quasiparticle spectra of the ferromagnet Ni for binding energies up to 500 meV. Using a Gutzwiller calculation as reference, we find significant renormalization in the 250-300 meV range, as identified for magnetic bulk bands for the first time. The self-energy is well described within an electron-magnon coupling model, consistent with neutron scattering. The results also relate to a recent theoretical model [2], which describes kinks in correlated systems as transition between different renormalization regimes.
