摘要:

在传统的超导体中,能量吸收谱中的能隙仅存在于转变温度(Tc)以下,对应于破坏电子的库珀对所需付出的能量代价。在高于Tc的高Tc铜氧化物超导体中,存在称为赝能隙的能隙,并且有争议地归因于预形成的超导对,其将表现出粒子-空穴对称性,或竞争相,这通常会打破它。扫描隧道显微镜(STM)研究表明,赝能隙源于晶格平移对称破缺,并与不同的特征光谱有关,去除电子(粒子-空穴不对称性)。然而,没有签名的空间或能量对称性破坏的赝隙已被观察到的角度分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)。在这里,我们报告从Bi 2201的ARPES数据,揭示了粒子-空穴对称性破缺和显着的光谱增宽指示空间对称性破缺没有长程序,穿过T* 进入赝能隙状态。这种对称性破缺出现在赝能隙动量空间的主导区域,即布里渊区边界附近所谓的反节点附近。我们的发现支持STM的结论,赝能隙态是一个打破对称性的状态,是不同于均匀超导。

英文摘要:

In conventional superconductors, a gap exists in the energy absorption spectrum only below the transition temperature (Tc), corresponding to the energy price to pay for breaking a Cooper pair of electrons. In high-Tc cuprate superconductors above Tc, an energy gap called the pseudogap exists, and is controversially attributed either to pre-formed superconducting pairs, which would exhibit particle-hole symmetry, or to competing phases which would typically break it. Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) studies suggest that the pseudogap stems from lattice translational symmetry breaking and is associated with a different characteristic spectrum for adding or removing electrons (particle-hole asymmetry). However, no signature of either spatial or energy symmetry breaking of the pseudogap has previously been observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Here we report ARPES data from Bi2201 which reveals both particle-hole symmetry breaking and dramatic spectral broadening indicative of spatial symmetry breaking without long range order, upon crossing through T* into the pseudogap state. This symmetry breaking is found in the dominant region of the momentum space for the pseudogap, around the so-called anti-node near the Brillouin zone boundary. Our finding supports the STM conclusion that the pseudogap state is a broken-symmetry state that is distinct from homogeneous superconductivity.
