We demonstrate a general, computer automated procedure that inverts the q-space scattering data measured by spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy (SI-STM) to determine the k-space scattering structure. This allows a detailed examination of the k-space origins of the quasiparticle interference (QPI) pattern in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x. This new method allows the measurements of the differences between the positive and negative energy dispersions, the gap structure and it also measures energy dependent scattering length scale. Furthermore, the transitions between the dispersive QPI, the checkerboard and the pseudogap are mapped in detail allowing the exact nature of these transitions to be determined for both positive and negative energies. We are also able to measure the k-space scattering structure over a wide range of doping (p ~ 0.22 to 0.08), including regions where the octet model is not applicable. Our technique allows a complete picture of the k-space origins of the spatial excitations in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x to be mapped out, providing for better comparisons between SI-STM and other experimental probes of the band structure and validating our new general approach for determining the k-space scattering origins from SI-STM data.

We describe x-ray resonant magnetic diffraction measurements at the Fe K-edge of both the parent BaFe2As2 and superconducting Ba(Fe0.953Co0.047)2As2 compounds. From these high-resolution measurements we conclude that the magnetic structure is commens urate for both compositions. The energy spectrum of the resonant scattering is in reasonable agreement with theoretical calculations using the full-potential linear augmented plane wave method with a local density functional.

Using polarization-resolved electronic Raman scattering we study under-doped, optimally-doped and over-doped Ba$_{1-x}$K$_{x}$Fe$_2$As$_2$ samples in the normal and superconducting states. We show that low-energy nematic fluctuations are universal fo r all studied doping range. In the superconducting state, we observe two distinct superconducting pair breaking peaks corresponding to one large and one small superconducting gaps. In addition, we detect a collective mode below the superconducting transition in the B$_{2g}$ channel and determine the evolution of its binding energy with doping. Possible scenarios are proposed to explain the origin of the in-gap collective mode. In the superconducting state of the under-doped regime, we detect a re-entrance transition below which the spectral background changes and the collective mode vanishes.
We present RIXS data at O K edge from La2-xSrxCuO4 vs. doping between x=0.10 and x=0.22 with attention to the magnetic excitations in the Mid-Infrared region. The sampling done by RIXS is the same as in the undoped cuprates provided the excitation is at the first pre-peak induced by doping. Note that this excitation energy is about 1.5 eV lower than that needed to see bimagnons in the parent compound. This approach allows the study of the upper region of the bimagnon continuum around 450 meV within about one third of the Brilluoin Zone around Gamma. The results show the presence of damped bimagnons and of higher even order spin excitations with almost constant spectral weight at all the dopings explored here. The implications on high Tc studies are briefly addressed.
The precise momentum dependence of the superconducting gap in the iron-arsenide superconductor with Tc = 32K (BKFA) was determined from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) via fitting the distribution of the quasiparticle density to a m odel. The model incorporates finite lifetime and experimental resolution effects, as well as accounts for peculiarities of BKFA electronic structure. We have found that the value of the superconducting gap is practically the same for the inner Gamma-barrel, X-pocket, and blade-pocket, and equals 9 meV, while the gap on the outer Gamma-barrel is estimated to be less than 4 meV, resulting in 2Delta/kT_c=6.8 for the large gap, and 2Delta/kT_c<3 for the small gap. A large (77 pm 3%) non-superconducting component in the photoemission signal is observed below T_c. Details of gap extraction from ARPES data are discussed in Appendix.
The cuprates contain a range of nanoscale phenomena that consist of both LDOS(E) features and spatial excitations. Many of these phenomena can only be observed through the use of a SI-STM and their disorder can be mapped out through the fitting of a phenomenological model to the LDOS(E). We present a study of the nanometer scale disorder of single crystal cryogenically cleaved samples of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x whose dopings range from p = 0.19 to 0.06. The phenomenological model used is the Tripartite model that has been successfully applied to the average LDOS(E) previously. The resulting energy scale maps show a structured patchwork disorder of three energy scales, which can be described by a single underlying disordered parameter. This spatial disorder structure is universal for all dopings and energy scales. It is independent of the oxygen dopant negative energy resonances and the interface between the different patches takes the form of a shortened lifetime pseudogap/superconducting gap state. The relationship between the energy scales and the spatial modulations of the dispersive QPI, static q1* modulation and the pseudogap shows that the energy scales signatures in the LDOS(E) are tied to the onset and termination of the spatial excitations. The static q1* modulations local energy range is measured and its signature in the LDOS(E) is the kink, whose number of states are modulated with a wave vector of q1*. This analysis of both the LDOS(r,E) and the spatial modulations in q-space show a picture of a single underlying disordered parameter that determines both the LDOS(E) structure as well as the energy ranges of the QPI, q1* modulation and the pseudogap states. This parameter for a single patch can be defined by the Fermi surface crossing of the parent compound anti-ferromagnetic zone boundary for a model homogeneous superconductor with the same electronic properties as the patch.
