Quasiparticle scattering processes in a model Fermi liquid: 1T-TiTe2

We performed angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and resistivity measurements on the layered metal 1T-TiTe2. We determined the quasiparticle dispersion and lifetime. In particular, we could characterize and separately evaluate the effects of the electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions on the experimental spectra. The good correlation between transport and spectroscopic scattering rates indicates that this material behaves as a model Fermi liquid system.
