d-wave pairing symmetry in cuprate superconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
Phase-sensitive tests of pairing symmetry have provided strong evidence for predominantly d-wave pairing symmetry in both the holeand electron-doped high-Tc cuprate superconductors. Temperature dependent measurements in YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) indicate that the d-wave pairing dominates, with little if any imaginary component, at all temperatures from 0.5K through Tc. In this article we review some of this evidence and discuss the implications of the universal d-wave pairing symmetry in the cuprates.

Electron Pairing in High-Tc Superconductors
In high-Tc cuprate superconductors, the pairing state of electrons is still spin-singlet, as in conventional BCS superconductors. But the orbital part of the wavefunction, order parameter or gap function, has a dx2−y2 symmetry, rather than the isotropic s-wave symmetry. This exotic symmetry has been confirmed by various experiments, especially the phase-sensitive ones. But the underlying mechan...
متن کاملPairing symmetry in cuprate superconductors
Pairing symmetry in the cuprate superconductors is an important and controversial topic. The recent development of phase-sensitive tests, combined with the refinement of several other symmetry-sensitive techniques, has for the most part settled this controversy in favor of predominantly d-wave symmetry for a number of optimally holeand electron-doped cuprates. This paper begins by reviewing the...

The pairing state symmetry of the electron-doped cuprate superconductors is thought to be s-wave in nature, in contrast with their hole-doped counterparts which exhibit a d-wave symmetry. We re-examine this issue based on recent improvements in our electron-doped materials and our measurement techniques. We report microwave cavity perturbation measurements of the temperature dependence of the p...

To understand the mechanism of superconductivity in unconventional super onductors is one of the big challenges in the field of superconductivity. Based on the BCS theory, there is a direct relation between the pairing mechanism and the symmetry of the order parameter. Therefore, identification of the structure of the superconducting gap or the order parameter provides key information on the pa...
متن کاملElectronic structure of kinetic energy driven cuprate superconductors
In this paper, we review the low energy electronic structure of the kinetic energy driven d-wave cuprate superconductors. We give a general description of the chargespin separation fermion-spin theory, where the constrained electron is decoupled as the gauge invariant dressed holon and spin. In particular, we show that under the decoupling scheme, the charge-spin separation fermion-spin represe...
