Questions and Answers

What is the significance of the white shaded areas in the image viewed with a scanning tunneling microscope?

The white shaded areas represent the vortex cores, which have a high density of states.

What does the absence of states at the Fermi level in the dark regions indicate?

The absence of states at the Fermi level in the dark regions indicates superconducting regions.

How are the amplitude and spatial extent of the states at the Fermi level determined in the image?

The amplitude and spatial extent of the states at the Fermi level are determined by a potential well formed by (x) as shown in Figure 18 for a Type II superconductor.
