Title: Dispersive charge density wave excitations in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ [Dispersive charge density wave excitations and temperature dependent commensuration in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ]

Abstract

Experimental evidence on high-Tc cuprates reveals ubiquitous charge density wave (CDW) modulations, which coexist with superconductivity. Although the CDW had been predicted by theory, important questions remain about the extent to which the CDW influences lattice and charge degrees of freedom and its characteristics as functions of doping and temperature. These questions are intimately connected to the origin of the CDW and its relation to the mysterious cuprate pseudogap. Here, we use ultrahigh resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) to reveal new CDW character in underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+{\delta} (Bi2212). At low temperature, we observe dispersive excitations from an incommensurate CDW that induces anomalously enhanced phonon intensity, unseen using other techniques. Near the pseudogap temperature T*, the CDW persists, but the associated excitations significantly weaken and the CDW wavevector shifts, becoming nearly commensurate with a periodicity of four lattice constants. The dispersive CDW excitations, phonon anomaly, and temperature dependent commensuration provide a comprehensive momentum space picture of complex CDW behavior and point to a closer relationship with the pseudogap state.

Figure 1 Figure 1: RIXS process and a hint of lower energy excitations near QCDW. a, Schematics of the coherent two-step RIXS process. The photon energy of the incident xray (hui) is tuned to the Cu L3-edge. Upon absorption, a core electron in the Cu 2p orbital made a transition to themore » unoccupied 3d valence band near the Fermi energy EF, bringing the system to an intermediate state |m$\rangle$. Then, the emission process occurs that fills the 2p core hole by one of the valence electrons, emits an photon (hυf), and leaves the system in an excited final state |f$\rangle$, which couple to a variety of elementary excitations. The energy-momentum information of these elementary excitations can be deduced by tracking the peak and spectral weight in RIXS spectra as a function of the momentum transfer Q and the energy loss of the scattering photons. ki and kf represent the momentum of the incident and scattered photons, respectively. Since the electronic state in Bi2212 is quasi-two-directional, i.e. rather independent along the c-axis, all data are plotted as a function of projected momentum transfer Q// along [100] direction, i.e. along the Cu-O bond direction. b, RIXS intensity map of the underdoped Nd1.2Ba1.8Cu3O6+δ (UD-NBCO) compound around the CDW position, taken with a resolution of 130 meV. The red dashed line indicates the RIXS spectrum shown in c. c, Comparison of two RIXS spectra recorded with the low (UD-NBCO, ∆E ~ 130 meV) and high-energy resolution (UD-Bi2212, ∆E ~ 40 meV) at Q// = 0.31 r.l.u..« less
