Abstract

As established by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), cleaved surfaces of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7−δ develop charge-density wave (CDW) modulations in the one-dimensional (1D) CuO chains. At the same time, no signatures of the CDW have been reported in the spectral function of the chain band previously studied by photoemission. We use soft x-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to detect a chain-derived surface band that had not been detected in previous work. The 2kF for the new surface band is found to be 0.55 Å−1, which matches the wave vector of the CDW observed in direct space by STM. This reveals the relevance of the Fermi-surface nesting for the formation of CDWs in the CuO chains in YBa2Cu3O7−δ. In agreement with the short-range nature of the CDW order the newly detected surface band exhibits a pseudogap whose energy scale also corresponds to that observed by STM.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
