Scanning tunneling spectroscopy of the high-T c superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δreveals weak, incommensurate, spatial modulations in the tunneling conductance. Images of these energy-dependent modulations are Fourier analyzed to yield the dispersion of their wavevectors. Comparison of the dispersions with photoemission spectroscopy data indicates that quasiparticle interference, due to elastic scattering between characteristic regions of momentum-space, provides a consistent explanation for the…

Quasiparticle interference in unconventional 2D systems.
TLDR
The formation of Friedel oscillation due to QPI in constant energy contours of electron bands is discussed, and the basic concept of Fourier-transform scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (FT-STM/STS) is shown, which can resolve Friedelscillation patterns in real space and consequently obtain the QPI patterns in reciprocal space.

Microscopic electronic inhomogeneity in the high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x
TLDR
The presence of an electronic inhomogeneity is reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x, a consequence of proximity to a Mott insulator resulting in poor screening of the charge potentials associated with the oxygen ions left in the BiO plane after doping, and is indicative of the local nature of the superconducting state.
