Abstract
We have found a quantitative connection between the evolution of the inhomogeneous nanoscale electronic gaps (INSEG) state detected in BiSrCaCuO by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/S) and the two universal, the upper and the lower, pseudogaps in high-temperature cuprate superconductors (HTCS). When the doping and temperature dependent INSEG map were analyzed by using our proposed hole-scale, we find that the two pseudogaps are connected to two specific coverages of the CuO plane by INSEG: the 50\% and 100\% coverages of the CuO planes by INSEG correspond to the upper and lower pseudogaps, respectively. This quantitative connection to the two pseudogaps indicates that the origin of the measured pseudogap energies and temperatures are intimately related to the geometrical coverage of the CuO planes by the INSEG state. We find that INSEG and superconductivity coexist in the underdoped to the overdoped regimes. We suggest that pseudogap states are microscopically inhomogeneous and 100\% coverage of the CuO planes by the INSEG is a necessary condition for the high- superconductivity.
