Abstract
The momentum dependence of the superconducting gap at low temperatures is precisely determined from angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements on overdoped and underdoped samples of Bi2212. As the doping decreases, the maximum gap increases, but the slope of the gap near the nodes decreases. Though consistent with d-wave symmetry, the gap with underdoping cannot be fit by the simple cos (kx)- cos (ky) form. We suggest that this arises due to the increasing importance of long range interactions as one approaches the insulator. Furthermore, a comparison of our ARPES results with available penetration depth data clearly indicates that the renormalization of the linear T suppression of the superfluid density at low temperatures due to quasiparticle excitations around the d-wave nodes is large and doping dependent.
