Visualizing the Energy-gap Modulations of the Cuprate Pair Density Wave State

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Davis | First 5 Authors: Zengyi Du, Hui Li, Sanghyun Joo, Elizabeth P. Donoway, Jinho Lee | Summary: 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 […]
