High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission investigation of the quasiparticle scattering processes in a model Fermi liquid: (formula presented)

We present a combined angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and resistivity study of the model Fermi liquid system (formula presented) From the analysis of the quasiparticle spectral line shape we identify and separately evaluate the electron-electron, electron-phonon, and impurity scattering contributions to the quasiparticle lifetime. There is a clear correspondence between spectroscopic and transport data. A residual low-temperature spectral linewidth (formula presented) indicates that the three-dimensional nature of the electronic states cannot be neglected even in this quasi-two-dimensional material.
