Abstract:While it is known that the double-layer Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+y (BSCCO) cuprate superconductor exhibits an incommensurate superlattice (IS), the effect of IS on the electronic structure remains elusive. The interlayer interaction produces a double-peaked van Hove singularity (VHS) in the density of states (called bilayer splitting) which is strongly changed by the incommensurate period of the superlattice controlled by the misfit strain between different atomic layers in BSCCO. Recently the wave vector q = ǫb (where b… Show more
