We report the observation of a change in Fermi-surface topology of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta with doping. By collecting high-statistics angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data from moderately and highly overdoped samples and dividing the data by the Fermi function, we answer a long-standing question about the Fermi-surface shape of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta close to the (pi,0) point. For moderately overdoped samples (T-c=80 K) we find that both the bonding and antibonding sheets of the Fermi surface are hole like, but for a doping level corresponding to T-c=55 K we find that the antibonding sheet becomes electron like. Similar observations of a topology change were observed in La2-xSrxCuO4 and in Bi2Sr2CuO6+delta. On the other hand, whereas this critical doping value in single-layer materials corresponds to a T-c near zero, it occurs at a smaller doping value in the double-layer case where T-c is still quite high (the difference in doping levels is due to the bilayer splitting). This argues against a van Hove singularity scenario for cuprate superconductivity.
