We report intrinsic tunnelling data for mesa structures fabricated on three over- and optimally-doped $rm{Bi_{2.15}Sr_{1.85}CaCu_{2}O_{8+delta}}$ crystals with transition temperatures of 86-78~K and 0.16-0.19~holes per CuO$_2$ unit, for a wide range of temperature ($T$) and applied magnetic field ($H$), primarily focusing on one over-doped crystal(OD80). The differential conductance above the gap edge shows clear dip structure which is highly suggestive of strong coupling to a narrow boson mode. Data below the gap edge suggest that tunnelling is weaker near the nodes of the d-wave gap and give clear evidence for strong $T$-dependent pair breaking. These findings could help theorists make a detailed Eliashberg analysis and thereby contribute towards understanding the pairing mechanism. We show that for our OD80 crystal the gap above $T_c$ although large, is reasonably consistent with the theory of superconducting fluctuations.

Anomalously high and sharp peaks in the conductance of intrinsic Josephson junctions in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+delta}$ (Bi2212) mesas have been universally interpreted as superconducting energy gaps, but here we show they are a result of hea
ting. This interpretation follows from a direct comparison to the equilibrium gap, $mathit Delta$, measured in break junctions on similar Bi2212 crystals. As the dissipated power increases with a greater number of junctions in the mesa, the conductance peak abruptly sharpens and its voltage decreases to well below 2$mathit Delta$. This sharpening, found in our experimental data, defies conventional intuition of heating effects on tunneling spectra, but it can be understood as an instability into a nonequilibrium two-phase coexistent state. The measured peak positions occur accurately within the voltage range that an S-shaped backbending is found in the {it calculated} current-voltage curves for spatially {it uniform} self-heating and that S-shape implies the potential for the uniform state to be unstable.
Single atom manipulation within doped correlated electron systems would be highly beneficial to disentangle the influence of dopants, structural defects and crystallographic characteristics on their local electronic states. Unfortunately, their high
diffusion barrier prevents conventional manipulation techniques. Here, we demonstrate the possibility to reversibly manipulate select sites in the optimally doped high temperature superconductor Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+x}$ using the local electric field of the tip. We show that upon shifting individual Bi atoms at the surface, the spectral gap associated with superconductivity is seen to reversibly change by as much as 15 meV (~5% of the total gap size). Our toy model that captures all observed characteristics suggests the field induces lateral movement of point-like objects that create a local pairing potential in the CuO2 plane.
Scanning Hall probe and local Hall magnetometry measurements have been used to investigate flux distributions in large mesoscopic superconducting disks with sizes that lie near the crossover between the bulk and mesoscopic vortex regimes. Results obt
ained by directly mapping the magnetic induction profiles of the disks at different applied fields can be quite successfully fitted to analytic models which assume a continuous distribution of flux in the sample. At low fields, however, we do observe clear signatures of the underlying discrete vortex structure and can resolve the characteristic mesoscopic compression of vortex clusters in increasing magnetic fields. Even at higher fields, where single vortex resolution is lost, we are still able to track configurational changes in the vortex patterns, since competing vortex orders impose unmistakable signatures on local magnetisation curves as a function of the applied field. Our observations are in excellent agreement with molecular dynamics numerical simulations which lead us to a natural definition of the lengthscale for the crossover between discrete and continuum behaviours in our system.
We present the ab-plane optical conductivity of four single crystals of Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{8+delta}$ (Bi2212) with different carrier doping levels from the strongly underdoped to the strongly overdoped range with $T_c$=66, 88, 77, and 67 K
respectively. We focus on the redistribution of the low frequency optical spectral weight (SW) in the superconducting and normal states. The temperature dependence of the low-frequency spectral weight in the normal state is significantly stronger in the overdoped regime. In agreement with other studies, the superconducting order is marked by an increase of the low frequency SW for low doping, while the SW decreases for the highly overdoped sample. The effect crosses through zero at a doping concentration $delta$=0.19 which is slightly to the right of the maximum of the superconducting dome. This sign change is not reproduced by the BCS model calculations, assuming the electron-momentum dispersion known from published ARPES data. Recent Cluster Dynamical Mean Field Theory (CDMFT) calculations based on the Hubbard and t-J models, agree in several relevant respects with the experimental data.
Using low-photon energy angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES), we study the low-energy dispersion along the nodal (pi, pi) direction in Bi(2)Sr(2)CaCu(2)O(8+delta) (Bi2212) as a function of temperature. Less than 10 meV below the Fermi energy, the hig
h-resolution data reveals a novel kink-like feature in the real part of the electron self-energy that is distinct from the larger well-known kink roughly 70 meV below E_F. This new kink is strongest below the superconducting critical temperature and weakens substantially as the temperature is raised. A corollary of this finding is that the Fermi velocity, as measured over this energy range, varies rapidly with temperature - increasing by almost 30% from 70 to 110 K.
