Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is typically used to study only the occupied electronic band structure of a material. Here we use laser-based ARPES to observe a feature in bismuth-based superconductors that, in contrast, is related to the unoccupied states. Specifically, we observe a dispersive suppression of intensity cutting across the valence band, which, when compared with relativistic one-step calculations, can be traced to two final-state gaps in the bands 6 eV above the Fermi level. This finding opens up possibilities to bring the ultra-high momentum resolution of existing laser-ARPES instruments to the unoccupied electron states. For cases where the final-state gap is not the object of study, we find that its effects can be made to vanish under certain experimental conditions.

The angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) autocorrelation in the electron-doped cuprate superconductors is studied based on the kinetic-energy driven superconducting (SC) mechanism. It is shown that the strong electron correlation induces
the electron Fermi surface (EFS) reconstruction, where the most of the quasiparticles locate at around the hot spots on EFS, and then these hot spots connected by the scattering wave vectors ${bf q}_{i}$ construct an {it octet} scattering model. In a striking analogy to the hole-doped case, the sharp ARPES autocorrelation peaks are directly correlated with the scattering wave vectors ${bf q}_{i}$, and are weakly dispersive in momentum space. However, in a clear contrast to the hole-doped counterparts, the position of the ARPES autocorrelation peaks move toward to the opposite direction with the increase of doping. The theory also indicates that there is an intrinsic connection between the ARPES autocorrelation and quasiparticle scattering interference (QSI) in the electron-doped cuprate superconductors.
We present grazing incidence reflectivity measurements in the far infrared region at temperatures above and below Tc for a series of thallium (Tl2Ba2CuO6, Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8) and bismuth (Bi2Sr2CuO6, Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8, and Bi(2-x)Pb(x)Sr2CaCu2O8) based cuprat
e superconductors. From the spectra, which are dominated by the c-axis phonons, longitudinal frequencies (LO) are directly obtained. The reflectivity curves are well fitted by a series of Lorentz oscillators. In this way the transverse (TO) phonon frequencies were accurately determined. On the basis of the comparative study of the Bi and Tl based cuprates with different number of CuO2 layers per unit cell, we suggest modifications of the assignment of the main oxygen modes. We compare the LO frequencies in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 obtained from intrinsic Josephson junction characteristics with our measurements, and explain the discrepancy in LO frequencies obtained by the two different methods.
To decipher the mechanism of high temperature superconductivity, it is important to know how the superconducting pairing emerges from the unusual normal states of cuprate superconductors, including pseudogap, anomalous Fermi liquid and strange metal
(SM). A long-standing issue under debate is how the superconducting pairing is formed and condensed in the SM phase because the superconducting transition temperature is the highest in this phase. Here, we report the first experimental observation of a pressure-induced crossover from two- to three-dimensional superconducting states in the optimally-doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta bulk superconductor at a pressure above 2.8 GPa, through state-of-the-art in-situ high-pressure measurements of resistance, magnetoresistance and magnetic susceptibility. By analyzing the temperature dependence of resistance, we find that the two-dimensional (2D) superconducting transition exhibits a Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless-like behavior. The emergence of this 2D superconducting transition provides direct and strong evidence that the SM state is predominantly 2D-like. This is important to a thorough understanding of the phase diagram of cuprate superconductors.
The cuprate superconductors are characterized by numerous ordering tendencies, with the nematic order being the most distinct form of order. Here the intertwinement of the electronic nematicity with superconductivity in cuprate superconductors is stu
died based on the kinetic-energy-driven superconductivity. It is shown that the optimized Tc takes a dome-like shape with the weak and strong strength regions on each side of the optimal strength of the electronic nematicity, where the optimized Tc reaches its maximum. This dome-like shape nematic-order strength dependence of Tc indicates that the electronic nematicity enhances superconductivity. Moreover, this nematic order induces the anisotropy of the electron Fermi surface (EFS), where although the original EFS with the four-fold rotation symmetry is broken up into that with a residual two-fold rotation symmetry, this EFS with the two-fold rotation symmetry still is truncated to form the Fermi arcs with the most spectral weight that locates at the tips of the Fermi arcs. Concomitantly, these tips of the Fermi arcs connected by the wave vectors ${bf q}_{i}$ construct an octet scattering model, however, the partial wave vectors and their respective symmetry-corresponding partners occur with unequal amplitudes, leading to these ordered states being broken both rotation and translation symmetries. As a natural consequence, the electronic structure is inequivalent between the $k_{x}$ and $k_{y}$ directions. These anisotropic features of the electronic structure are also confirmed via the result of the autocorrelation of the single-particle excitation spectra, where the breaking of the rotation symmetry is verified by the inequivalence on the average of the electronic structure at the two Bragg scattering sites. Furthermore, the strong energy dependence of the order parameter of the electronic nematicity is also discussed.
Recent scanning tunneling microscopy on BSCCO 2212 has revealed a substantial spatial supermodulation of the energy gap in the superconducting state. We propose that this gap modulation is due to the superlattice modulations of the atoms in the struc
ture, and hence the parameters in a microscopic model of the CuO2 plane. The gap modulation is estimated using renormalized mean field theory for a t-t-J model on a superlattice. The results compare well with experiment.
