Abstract

We performed scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy measurements in the superconducting state of underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x, and demonstrated that the checkerboard (CB) and Bogoliubov quasiparticle interference (QPI) modulations, which are considered to be characteristic features for the low-energy states around the antinodal and nodal regions of the Fermi surface, respectively, coexist in identical regions of the Cu-O plane. In the present work, these electronic superstructures are successfully separated from each other, and the local amplitude and phase are evaluated for the CB modulation and the q1 component of QPI, which are characterized by similar wave vectors. The q1-QPI component tends to be in-phase and antiphase with the CB modulation for positive and negative bias voltages, respectively. The significant spatial phase relationship is confirmed in regions where the local amplitude of CB modulation is comparatively large. This finding implies an interplay between the QPI and CB modulations.
