Quasiparticle interference (QPI) provides a wealth of information relating to the electronic structure of a material. However, it is often assumed that this information is constrained to two-dimensional electronic states. Here, we show that this is not necessarily the case. For FeSe, a system dominated by surface defects, we show that it is actually all electronic states with negligible group velocity in the $z$ axis that are contained within the experimental data. By using a three-dimensional tight binding model of FeSe, fit to photoemission measurements, we directly reproduce the experimental QPI scattering dispersion, within a T-matrix formalism, by including both $k_z = 0$ and $k_z = pi$ electronic states. This result unifies both tunnelling and photoemission based experiments on FeSe and highlights the importance of $k_z$ within surface sensitive measurements of QPI.

The cuprate high-temperature superconductors are known to host a wide array of effects due to interactions and disorder. In this work, we look at some of the consequences of these effects which can be visualized by scanning tunneling spectroscopy. Th
ese interaction and disorder effects can be incorporated into a mean-field description by means of a self-energy appearing in the Greens function. We first examine the quasiparticle scattering interference spectra in the superconducting state at optimal doping as temperature is increased. Assuming agreement with angle-resolved photoemission experiments which suggest that the scattering rate depends on temperature, resulting in the filling of the $d$-wave gap, we find that the peaks predicted by the octet model become progressively smeared as temperature is increased. When the scattering rate is of the same order of magnitude as the superconducting gap, the spectral function shows Fermi-arc-like patterns, while the power spectrum of the local density of states shows the destruction of the octet-model peaks. We next consider the normal state properties of the optimally-doped cuprates. We model this by adding a marginal Fermi liquid self-energy to the normal-state propagator, and consider the dependence of the QPI spectra on frequency, temperature, and doping. We demonstrate that the MFL self-energy leads to a smearing of the caustics appearing in the normal-state QPI power spectrum as either temperature or frequency is increased at fixed doping. The smearing is found to be more prominent in the MFL case than in an ordinary Fermi liquid. We also consider the case of a marginal Fermi liquid with a strongly momentum-dependent self-energy which gives rise to a visible nodal-antinodal dichotomy at the normal state, and discuss how the spectra as seen in ARPES and STS differ from both an isotropic metal and a broadened $d$-wave superconductor.
Several angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) studies reveal a poorly nested Fermi surface of LiFeAs, far away from a spin density wave instability, and clear-cut superconducting gap anisotropies. On the other hand a very different, more
nested Fermi surface and dissimilar gap anisotropies have been obtained from quasiparticle interference (QPI) data, which were interpreted as arising from intraband scattering within hole-like bands. Here we show that this ARPES-QPI paradox is completely resolved by interband scattering between the hole-like bands. The resolution follows from an excellent agreement between experimental quasiparticle scattering data and T-matrix QPI calculations (based on experimental band structure data), which allows disentangling interband and intraband scattering processes.
Quasiparticle dynamics of FeSe single crystals revealed by dual-color transient reflectivity measurements ({Delta}R/R) provides unprecedented information on Fe-based superconductors. The amplitude of fast component in {Delta}R/R clearly tells a compe
ting scenario between spin fluctuations and superconductivity. Together with the transport measurements, the relaxation time analysis further exhibits anomalous changes at 90 K and 230 K. The former manifests a structure phase transition as well as the associated phonon softening. The latter suggests a previously overlooked phase transition or crossover in FeSe. The electron-phonon coupling constant {lambda} is found to be 0.16, identical to the value of theoretical calculations. Such a small {lambda} demonstrates an unconventional origin of superconductivity in FeSe.
Phase-sensitive measurements of the superconducting gap in Fe-based superconductors have proven more difficult than originally anticipated. While quasiparticle interference (QPI) measurements based on scanning tunneling spectroscopy are often propose
d as defnitive tests of gap structure, the analysis typically relies on details of the model employed. Here we point out that the temperature dependence of momentum-integrated QPI data can be used to identify gap sign changes in a qualitative way, and present an illustration for $s_{pm}$ and $s_{++}$ states in a system with typical Fe-pnictide Fermi surface.
Using both two orbital and five orbital models, we investigate the quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns in the superconducting (SC) state of iron-based superconductors. We compare the results for nonmagnetic and magnetic impurities in sign-chang
ed s-wave $cos(k_x)cdotcos(k_y)$ and sign-unchanged $|cos(k_x)cdotcos(k_y)|$ SC states. While the patterns strongly depend on the chosen band structures, the sensitivity of peaks around $(pmpi,0)$ and $(0,pmpi)$ wavevectors on magnetic or non-magnetic impurity, and sign change or sign unchanged SC orders is common in two models. Our results strongly suggest that QPI may provide direct information of band structures and evidence of the pairing symmetry in the SC states.
