We use scanning tunneling microscopy to visualize the atomic-scale electronic states induced by a pair of hole dopants in Ca2CuO2Cl2 parent Mott insulator of cuprates.We find that when the two dopants approach each other,the transfer of spectral weight from high energy Hubbard band to low energy in-gap state creates a broad peak and nearly V-shaped gap around the Fermi level.The peak position shows a sudden drop at distance around 4 ao and then remains almost constant.The in-gap states exhibit pecu-liar spatial distributions depending on the configuration of the two dopants relative to the underlying Cu lattice.These results shed important new lights on the evolution of low energy electronic states when a few holes are doped into parent cuprates.
