Analysis of the approximations used in the van Hove-BCS theory. Abstract An analysis of the different approaches used within the van Hove BCS model for the high temperature superconductors has been done. How far the employment of an asymptotic expression for the density of states underestimates the thermodynamic parameters, as for example, the critical temperature, the gap at zero temperature, ...
متن کاملVan Hove Singularity and Superconductivity in Disordered Hubbard Model
We apply the Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) to a simple extended Hubbard model with a nearest and next nearest neighbour hopping for disordered superconductors with s–, d– and p–wave pairing. We show how the Van Hove singularities in the electron density of states enhance the transition temperature Tc for exotic superconductors in a clean and weakly disordered system. The Anderson theor...
متن کاملTunneling density of states of high T(c) superconductors: d-wave BCS model versus SU(2) slave-boson model
Motivated by recent experimental measurements of the tunneling characteristics of high T(c) materials using scanning tunneling spectroscopy, we have calculated the I-V and differential conductance curves in the superconducting state at zero temperature. Comparing BCS-like d-wave pairing and the SU(2) slave-boson approach, we find that the slave-boson model can explain the asymmetric background ...

On the basis of a simple model we analyse the influence of disorder on critical temperature TC in p–wave superconductors. The disorder is treated by means of the Coherent Potential Approximation (CPA) and we focus our attention on the effect of a van Hove singularity near Fermi energy EF . For the appropriate values of its parameters our model reproduces the experimentally found behaviour of Sr...
متن کاملPreeminent role of the van Hove singularity in the strong-coupling analysis of scanning tunneling spectroscopy for two-dimensional cuprate superconductors.
In two dimensions the noninteracting density of states displays a van Hove singularity (VHS) which introduces an intrinsic electron-hole asymmetry, absent in three dimensions. We show that due to this VHS the strong-coupling analysis of tunneling spectra in high-Tc superconductors must be reconsidered. Based on a microscopic model which reproduces the experimental data with excellent accuracy, ...
