Testing the $d^{*}_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$-wave pairing symmetry by quasiparticle interference in BiS$_{2}$-based superconductors

Abstract

The quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns in BiS2_{2}-based superconductors are theoretically investigated by taking into account the spin-orbital coupling and assuming the recently proposed dx2y2d^{*}_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave pairing symmetry. We found two distinct scattering wave vectors whose evolution can be explained based on the evolution of the constant-energy contours. The QPI spectra presented in this paper can thus be compared with future scanning tunneling microscopy experiments to test whether the pairing symmetry is dx2y2d^{*}_{x^{2}-y^{2}}-wave in BiS2_{2}-based superconductors.
