Abstract

In this brief note we repeat an earlier calculation of the Fourier transformed scanning tunneling spectra of the dd-density wave (DDW) phase using a different band structure, which is more realistic and consistent with the angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data. We note that four peaks, which used to be located at (±π/4,0)(\pm \pi/4,0) and (0,±π/4)(0, \pm \pi/4), are still present, but at positive energies their wavevectors shift to the neighborhood of (±2π/5,0)(\pm 2 \pi/5,0), (0,±2π/5)(0, \pm 2\pi/5) and slowly disperse with energy. The implications for the sensitivity with respect to the band structure are discussed.
