Beschreibung:
The unclear relationship between cuprate superconductivity and the pseudogap state remains an impediment to understanding the high transition temperature (T(c)) superconducting mechanism. Here, we used magnetic field-dependent scanning tunneling microscopy to provide phase-sensitive proof that d-wave superconductivity coexists with the pseudogap on the antinodal Fermi surface of an overdoped cuprate. Furthermore, by tracking the hole-doping (p) dependence of the quasi-particle interference pattern within a single bismuth-based cuprate family, we observed a Fermi surface reconstruction slightly below optimal doping, indicating a zero-field quantum phase transition in notable proximity to the maximum superconducting T(c). Surprisingly, this major reorganization of the system's underlying electronic structure has no effect on the smoothly evolving pseudogap.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉He, Yang -- Yin, Yi -- Zech, M -- Soumyanarayanan, Anjan -- Yee, Michael M -- Williams, Tess -- Boyer, M C -- Chatterjee, Kamalesh -- Wise, W D -- Zeljkovic, I -- Kondo, Takeshi -- Takeuchi, T -- Ikuta, H -- Mistark, Peter -- Markiewicz, Robert S -- Bansil, Arun -- Sachdev, Subir -- Hudson, E W -- Hoffman, J E -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 May 9;344(6184):608-11. doi: 10.1126/science.1248221.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Physics, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24812396" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
