Abstract

Two different (small and large) pseudogaps have been observed by ultrahigh-resolution photoeraission spectroscopy in optimally doped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and La1.85Sr0.15GuO4. The small pseudogap is smoothly connected from the superconducting gap and closes slightly above Tc, while the large one appears as a remarkable depletion of the density of states in a wider energy range near EF and persists far above Tc. The small pseudogap is likely associated with pairing and the large one is ascribed to the development of antiferromagnetic correlation.
