The tunneling spectra of high temperature superconductors on Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ (Bi-2212) reproducibly show a high bias structure in the form of a dip-hump at voltages higher than the gap voltage. Of central concern is…
We use angle-resolved photoemission to unravel the quasiparticle decoherence process in the high-$T_c$ cuprates. The coherent band is highly renormalized, and the incoherent part manifests itself as a nearly vertical ``dive'' in the $E$-$k$…
Tunneling measurements have been carried out on heavily underdoped and slightly overdoped Bi2212 single crystals by using a break-junction technique. We find that in-plane tunneling spectra below Tc are the combination of incoherent part…
The superconducting gap - an energy scale tied to the superconducting phenomena-opens on the Fermi surface at the superconducting transition temperature (TC) in conventional BCS superconductors. Quite differently, in underdoped high-TC…

We analyzed photoemssion data for several doping levels of the Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+x} compounds, ranging from overdoped to underdoped. We show that the high frequency part of the spectra near (0,\pi) can be described by Fermi liquid theory…

Two Bi2201 model systems are employed to demonstrate how, beside the Cu-O \sigma-band, a second band of purely O2p\pi character can be made to cross the Fermi level owing to its sensitivity to the local crystal field. This result is…
Photoemission spectra of the high temperature superconductor Bi2212 near (pi,0) show a dramatic change when cooling below Tc: the broad peak in the normal state turns into a sharp low energy peak followed by a higher binding energy hump.…
We study the behavior of the pseudogap in overdoped Bi$_{2}$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+d}$ by electronic Raman scattering (ERS) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) on the same single crystals. Using both techniques we find that,…
In underdoped cuprates, only a portion of the Fermi surface survives as Fermi arcs due to pseudogap opening. In hole-doped La$_{2}$CuO$_4$, we have deduced the "coherence temperature" $T_{coh}$ of quasi-particles on the Fermi arc above…
