    Persistence of Strong Electron Coupling To a Narrow Boson Spectrum in Overdoped Bi2sr2cacu2o8+î Tunneling Data
    (American Physical Society, 2006) Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Coffey, L.; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Kendziora, Christopher A.
    A d-wave, Eliashberg analysis of break-junction and STM tunneling spectra on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+Î (Bi2212) reveals that the spectral dip feature is directly linked to strong electronic coupling to a narrow boson spectrum, evidenced by a large peak in I'2F(I). The tunneling dip feature remains robust in the overdoped regime of Bi2212 with bulk Tc values of 56Â Ka62Â K. This is contrary to recent optical conductivity measurements of the self-energy that suggest the narrow boson spectrum disappears in overdoped Bi2212 and therefore cannot be essential for the pairing mechanism. The discrepancy is resolved by considering the way each technique probes the electron self-energy, in particular, the unique sensitivity of tunneling to the off-diagonal or pairing part of the self-energy.

    Aspects of the Tunneling Dip Feature in Bi2sr2cacu2o8+? and Its Relation To the Resonance Spin Excitation
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2002) Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Kendziora, Christopher A.
    Break-junction tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ over a wide range of hole concentration from underdoped to overdoped. The strong conductance peaks in the superconducting state reveal a single gap consistent with d-wave symmetry. In addition, sharp dips are observed at a voltage, Ω/□, measured with respect to the gap edge. These features are shown to be reproduced in other junction types from the literature including atomically resolved STM and □-axis mesas, establishing their intrinsic character. Trends are observed with doping and temperature which link the dip to the resonance spin excitation and indicate that the quasiparticles are strongly coupled to this mode.

    Tunneling Spectroscopy of Tl2ba2cuo6
    (Elsevier Ltd., 1999) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Yusof, Zikri; Zasadzinski, John F.; Li, Ting-Wei; Hinks, David G.; Gray, Kenneth E.
    New results from tunneling spectroscopies on near optimally doped single crystals of Tl2Ba2CuO6 (Tl-2201) junctions are presented. The superconductor-insulator-normal metal (SIN) tunnel junctions are obtained using the point-contact technique with a Au tip. The tunneling conductances reproducibly show a sharp cusp-like subgap, prominent quasiparticle peaks with a consistent asymmetry, and weakly decreasing backgrounds. A rigorous analysis of the SIN tunneling data is performed using two different models for the dx(2)-y(2) (d-wave) density of states (DOS). Based on these and earlier results, the tunneling DOS of Tl-2201 has exhibited the most reproducible data that are consistent with a d-wave gap symmetry. We show that the dip feature at 2 Δ that is, clearly seen in SIN tunneling data of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ is also present in Tl-2201, but at a weaker level. The gap values for crystals with a bulk Tc = 86 K are in the range of 19-25 meV.
