Abstract

For the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity in inhomogeneous Bi-2212 superconductors, we demonstrate the intrinsic superconducting gap,GAP_i, and pairing symmetry by using a developed GAP=GAP_i/rho, where GAP is the observed energy gap and 0<rho<=1 is band filling. When rho=1, GAP=GAP_i<=10 meV, measured at a node, is intrinsic. When 0<rho<1, GAP implies an averaging of GAP_i over the measurement region, which is the effect of measurement. From analysis's of conductance data, b=2GAP_i/k_BT_c is less than 4 when rho=1 and the density of state indicates s-wave symmetry. The superconducting gap anisotropy is attributed to the inhomogeneity of the metal phase and the insulating d-wave phase in the measurement region.

Highlights

  • For the mechanism of high-Tc superconductivity in inhomogeneous Bi2 Sr2 CaCu2 O8þx superconductors, we demonstrate the intrinsic superconducting gap, i, and pairing symmetry by using a developed 1⁄4 i =, where is the observed energy gap and 0 < 1 is band filling

  • The superconducting gap anisotropy is attributed to the inhomogeneity of the metal phase and the insulating d-wave phase in the measurement region

  • High-Tc superconductors are intrinsically spatially inhomogeneous; this is attributed to metal-insulator instability in which a half-filled metal lies in an unstable position at the local charge-densitywave potential.1) The instability implies that the probability of one electron occupying a cubic unit is less than one
