"Observing the Gaps in High-Tc Superconductors by Angle Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES)"

Presented by Hongbo Yang, Brookhaven National Laboratory, CMPMSD

Monday, September 19, 2011, 9:30 am — Seminar Room, Bldg. 725

An energy gap opening in the spectral function at the Fermi level is a signature of superconductivity. High-Tc cuprates not only has a d-wave superconducting gap, which has the zero gapped nodal points along the Fermi surface, but also has a pseudogap in the normal state above the critical temperature. These fascinating features complicate that quest of understanding the nature of high-Tc superconductivity. Our recent ARPES studies shed some light on the nature of the pseudogap in the underdoped cuprate-BSSCO, and potentially clear the path for reaching the goal of solving the puzzle of high-Tc superconductivity.
