Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy study of4a×4aelectronic charge order and the inhomogeneous pairing gap in superconductingBi2

Abstract: We performed scanning tunneling microscopy and scanning tunneling spectroscopy ͑STS͒ measurements on underdoped Bi2212 crystals with doping levels p ϳ 0.11, ϳ0.13, and ϳ0.14 to examine the nature of the nondispersive 4a ϫ 4a charge order in the superconducting state at T Ӷ T c . The charge order appears conspicuously within the pairing gap, and low doping tends to favor the charge order. We point out the possibility that the 4a ϫ 4a charge order will be dynamical in itself, and pinned down over regions with ef… Show more

“…Similar periodic patterns were observed in tunnel studies of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (BSCCO) [128,[155][156][157][158][159], Bi 2 Sr 2−x La x CuO 6+δ [117], and Bi 2−y Pb y Sr 2−z La z CuO 6+x [97]. In Bi 2 Sr 2−x La x CuO 6+δ the existence of checkerboard structures was also shown in combined STM-ARPES investigations [160].…”

“…FT-STS has also been used to probe the pseudogap state in the underdoped regime where non-dispersive (bias-independent) quasi-periodic conductance modulations has been identified both in BSCCO 4,[6][7][8]22 and Ca 2−x Na x CuO 2 Cl 2 (Na-CCOC). 23 The origin of these peaks remains unknown at present but may be caused by short-range charge order, possibly connected to the existence of nested segments of the Fermi surface near the antinodal regions of the Brillouin zone.…”

“…The strong sample ͑or cleaved surface͒ dependence of the 2D charge order is true of underdoped Bi2212 and has been discussed in terms of pinning of a dynamical 2D electronic charge order from the point of view that the 2D electronic charge order will be dynamical in itself. 23,24 B. STS spectra of Bi2201(La) and Bi2212 STS spectra ͑dI / dV curves͒ of Bi2201͑La͒ samples A and B, and Bi2212 sample A, obtained at 8 -9 K along the lines marked on the STM images ͑Fig. 1͒, are very inhomogeneous spatially.…”
