Abstract

In the present work, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) measurements were carried out on underdoped Bi2Sr2−xLaxCuO6+δ and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ to clarify the origin of the pseudogap, in particular, the inhomogeneous large pseudogap. The nodal part of a d-wave pairing gap, which is under no influence of the inhomogeneous large pseudogap, was also examined by relating the homogeneous bottom part of the STS gap to a nodal d-wave gap in momentum space. We report that the inhomogeneous large pseudogap in the antinodal region links to a two-dimensional electronic charge order, and that the gap size of the nodal d-wave part Δsc scales with the superconducting critical temperature Tc in the pseudogap regime.
