Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 3467–3470 (1997)Topology of the Pseudogap and Shadow Bands in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ at Optimum DopingReceived 29 May 1997; published in the issue dated 3 November 1997 We report topology of the Fermi surface of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ superconducting system at the optimum doping determined by sequential angle-scanning photoemission combined with high intensity of synchrotron radiation. The Fermi surface at the optimum doping has a pseudogap around (π,0) as in underdoped samples, showing missing segments near the M points, and shadow bands around (0.5π,0.5π) and equivalent locations. The k dependence of the pseudogap shows a particular asymmetric topology that imposes a strong constraint on its theoretical explanation. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
