Effects of pairing potential scattering on Fourier-transformed inelastic tunneling spectra of high-Tc cuprate superconductors with bosonic modes.

چکیده
Recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experimentally observed strong gap inhomogeneity in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O(8+delta) (BSCCO). We argue that disorder in the pair potential underlies the gap inhomogeneity, and investigate its role in the Fourier-transformed inelastic tunneling spectra as revealed in the STM. We find that the random pair potential induces unique q-space patterns in the local density of states (LDOS) of a d-wave superconductor. We consider the effects of electron coupling to various bosonic modes and find the pattern of LDOS modulation due to coupling to the B(1g) phonon mode to be consistent with the one observed in the inelastic electron tunnneling STM experiment in BSCCO. These results suggest strong electron-lattice coupling as an essential part of the superconducting state in high-Tc materials.

Comparative studies of the scanning tunneling spectra in cuprate and iron-arsenide superconductors
We report scanning tunneling spectroscopic studies of cuprate and iron-arsenic superconductors, including YBa2Cu3O7− (Y-123, Tc = 93 K), Sr0.9La0.1CuO2 (La-112, Tc = 43 K), and the “122” compounds Ba(Fe1−xCox)2As2 (Co-122 with x = 0.06, 0.08, 0.12 for Tc = 14, 24, 20 K). In zero field (H = 0), spatially homogeneous coherence peaks at energies = ±SC flanked by spectral “shoulders” at ±eff ...
متن کاملThe effect of collective spin-1 excitations on electronic spectra in high-Tc superconductors
We review recent experimental and theoretical results on the interaction between single-particle excitations and collective spin excitations in the superconducting state of high-Tc cuprates. We concentrate on the traces, that sharp features in the magnetic-excitation spectrum (measured by inelastic neutron scattering) imprint in the spectra of single-particle excitations (measured e.g. by ngle-...
متن کاملThe Zeno effect and an inter-layer pairing mechanism for high-temperature superconductivity in layered materials
Quantum Zeno Effect (QZE) is the suppression of the inter-subspace transition by a relatively fast intra-subspace decoherence. Earlier, we had proposed a QZE-based mechanism for the temperature-dependent normal-state c-axis resistivity of the layered high-Tc cuprate superconductors in which the singleparticle inter-layer tunneling is blocked by the strong intra-layer decoherence (entanglement)....
متن کاملSlow Fracton Modes in Antiferromagnetic Correlations of High-t C Superconductors
(Dated: December 7, 1999) In cuprate superconductors superconductivity develops as a unique crossover between the two extremes characterizing these compounds, an antiferromagnetic (AF) Mott insulator phase, on one side, and a non-superconducting itinerant metal on the other. The hole doping tunes a cuprate inside such a broad spectrum of phases. Numerous inelastic neutron scattering studies on ...
