The study of electronic nematicity in an overdoped (Bi, Pb)${}_2$Sr${}_2$CuO${}_{6+\delta }$ superconductor using scanning tunneling spectroscopy

Abstract

The pseudogap (PG) state and its related intra-unit-cell symmetry breaking remain the focus in the research of cuprate superconductors. Although the nematicity has been studied in Bi${}_2$Sr${}_2$CaCu${}_2$O${}_{8+\delta }$, especially underdoped samples, its behavior in other cuprates and different doping regions is still unclear. Here we apply a scanning tunneling microscope to explore an overdoped (Bi, Pb)${}_2$Sr${}_2$CuO${}_{6+\delta }$ with a large Fermi surface (FS). The establishment of a nematic order and its real-space distribution is visualized as the energy scale approaches the PG.
