Fermi Surface of BSCCO

Caption

The Fermi surface, or the highest occupied state in the electronic structure, allows direct determination of the doping level. This picture shows the Fermi surface of the highly overdoped, non-superconducting BSCCO where the holes were added into the material by exposure to ozone.
