Quasiparticles and Energy Scaling in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_{n-1}$Cu$_n$O$_{2n+4}$ ($\it{n}$=1-3): Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy
Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) has been performed on the single- to triple-layered Bi-family high-{\it T$_c$} superconductors (Bi$_2$Sr$_2$Ca$_{n-1}$Cu$_n$O$_{2n+4}$, $\it{n}$=1-3). We found a sharp quasiparticle peak as well as a pseudogap at the Fermi level in the triple-layered compound. Comparison among three compounds has revealed a universal rule that the characteristic energies of superconducting and pseudogap behaviors are scaled with the maximum {\it T$_c$}.
