’s’ and ‘d’ Wave Symmetry Components in High-Temperature Cuprate Superconductors

  • Chapter
High-Tc Superconductivity 1996: Ten Years after the Discovery

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 343))

Abstract

At present the nature of high-temperature superconductivity remains elusive in spite of the fact that many novel models have been proposed. A detailed understanding of the normal-state and superconducting properties of the cuprate systems is necessary in order to explore the microscopic pairing mechanism. In particular, a fundamental question of interest that has recently driven a lot of experimental and theoretical work is the nature of the symmetry of the superconducting pair wave function: Is its- or d-wave, or a mixture of both? A deep knowledge of the nature of the symmetry does not tell us what is mediating the pairing, but itsets severe constraints on possible mechanisms. Here a short review on various experiments probing the symmetry of the pair wave function is presented. It is shown, that in these short-coherence-length superconductors two condensates with different symmetry (s- and d-wave), but the same T c, may be present, in agreement with a large number of experimental results.
