- Opis:
- Scanning tunneling microscopy images and scanning tunneling spectroscopy characteristics were measured at 4.2 K in liquid helium bath on the cleaved in air a-b surface of Bi$\text{}_{2}$Sr$\text{}_{2}$CaCu$\text{}_{2}$O$\text{}_{8}$ (BSCCO-2212). Electronic densities of states and superconductivity parameters Δ and Γ evaluated from dI/dV characteristics depend on tip-sample distance s: with shortening of the distance s superconducting gap structure becomes more distinct, i.e. Δ increases and Γ decreases. We explain this phenomenon as a non-vacuum tunneling, where for longer s tunneling electrons reach only the surface contamination layer on non-metallic BiO top-surface layer, whereas for shorter s tunneling electrons penetrate also deeper lying CuO layers reflecting their superconducting properties. The dependence of Δ on s is evaluated. This result allows to understand better the non-vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy imaging: by adjusting properly the tip-sample distance one can select suitable local density of states contributing dominantly to the scanning tunneling microscopy images taken on BSCCO.
