Evolution of Charge and Pair Density Modulations in Overdoped Bi_{2}Sr_{2}CuO_{6+δ}

One of the central issues concerning the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates is the nature of the ubiquitous charge order and its implications to superconductivity. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy to investigate the evolution of charge order from the optimally dope...
