The quantum condensate of Cooper-pairs forming a superconductor was originally conceived to be translationally invariant. In theory, however, pairs can exist with finite momentum $Q$ and thereby generate states with spatially modulating…
A recent discovery of the pair density wave (PDW) order creates a stir in understanding an underlying physics in the pseudogap states of the cuprate high temperature superconductors. We have performed a Spectroscopic Imaging Scanning…
Pair density wave (PDW) states are defined by a spatially modulating superconductive order-parameter. To search for such states in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) we use high-speed atomic-resolution scanned Josephson-tunneling…
The density of states modulation recently observed by the scanning tunneling microscopic experiment in the pseudogap state of high-$T_c$ superconductors is explained by the pairing assisted particle transitions under perturbation of a…
An unidentified quantum fluid designated as the pseudogap (PG) phase is produced by electron-density depletion in the CuO$_2$ antiferromagnetic insulator. Current theories suggest that the PG phase may be a pair density wave (PDW) state…
Motivated by the recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and neutron scattering experiments, we investigate various charge density wave orders coexisting with superconductivity in the cuprate superconductors. The explicit expressions of…
We report atomic scale characterization of the pseudogap state in a high-T$_c$ superconductor, Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$. The electronic states at low energies within the pseudogap exhibit spatial modulations having an…
A pair density wave (PDW) is a superconducting state characterized by an order parameter with finite center-of-mass momentum in the absence of an external magnetic field, thereby breaking the conventional translational symmetry in…
We calculate scattering interference patterns for various electronic states proposed for the pseudogap regime of the cuprate superconductors. The scattering interference models all produce patterns whose wavelength changes as a function of…
One of the key motivations for the development of atomically resolved spectroscopic imaging STM (SI-STM) has been to probe the electronic structure of cuprate high temperature superconductors. In both the d-wave superconducting (dSC) and…
On the basis of an electronic model with separable attractive interaction, the precursors at high temperature and strong coupling of the d-wave superconducting state are investigated in the one-particle spectral function $A({\bf k},\omega)$…
In this paper we show, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), the existence of static striped density of electronic states in nearly optimally doped $\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ in zero field. The observed modulation is strongest…
A complicating factor in unraveling the theory of high-temperature (high-Tc) superconductivity is the presence of a "pseudogap" in the density of states, whose origin has been debated since its discovery [1]. Some believe the pseudogap is a…
When Cooper pairs are formed with finite center-of-mass momentum, the defining characteristic is a spatially modulating superconducting energy gap $\Delta(r)$. Recently, this concept has been generalized to the pair density wave (PDW) state…
In the present work, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) measurements were carried out on underdoped $\rm Bi_2Sr_{2-{\it x}}La_{\it x}CuO_{6+\delta}$ and $\rm Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}$ to clarify the origin of the…
Pair density wave superconductivity constitutes a novel electronic condensate proposed to be realized in certain unconventional superconductors. Establishing its potential existence is important for our fundamental understanding of…
When the Mott insulating state is suppressed by charge carrier doping, the pseudogap phenomenon emerges, where at the low-temperature limit, superconductivity coexists with some ordered electronic states. Within the framework of the…
Superconducting states that break space-group symmetries of the underlying crystal can exhibit nontrivial spatial modulation of the order parameter. Previously, such remarkable states were intimately associated with the breaking of…
Unconventional superconductors that spontaneously break space-group symmetries of their underlying crystal lattice are distinguished by spatial modulations of the superconducting order parameter. These states have recently captured…
Recent tunneling observations of a pseudogap in Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+delta} are not necessarily evidence that the pseudogap is associated with superconducting fluctuations. The data are here analyzed as a competition between superconductivity…
