Studies of the Low-Energy Quasiparticle Excitations in High-Temperature Superconducting Cuprates with Scanning Tunneling Spectroscopy and Magnetization Measurements

<p>This thesis details the investigation of the unconventional low-energy quasiparticle excitations in both hole-and electron-type cuprate superconductors through experimental studies and theoretical modeling. The experimental studies include spatially resolved scanning tunneling spectroscopy...
