    Correlation of Tunneling Spectra in Bi2sr2cacu2o8+? With the Resonance Spin Excitation
    (American Physical Society, 2001) Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Gray, Kenneth E.; Hinks, David G.; Kendziora, Christopher A.
    New break-junction tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ over a wide range of hole concentration from underdoped (Tc=74k) to optimal doped (Tc=95k) to overdoped (Tc=48k). The conductances exhibit sharp dips at a voltage, Ω/e, measured with respect to the superconducting gap. Clear trends are found such that the dip strength is maximum at optimal doping and that Ω scales as 4.9kTc over the entire doping range. These features link the dip to the resonance spin excitation and suggest quasiparticle interactions with this mode are important for superconductivity.

    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.

    Predominantly Superconducting Origin of Large Energy Gaps in Underdoped Bi2sr2cacu2o8+? From Tunneling Spectroscopy
    (American Physical Society, 1999) Miyakawa, Nobuaki; Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Guptasarma, Prasenjit; Hinks, David G.; Kendziora, Christopher A.; Gray, Kenneth E.
    New tunneling data are reported in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ which show quasiparticle excitation gaps, Δ, reaching values as high as 60 meV for underdoped crystals with Tc = 70 K. These energy gaps are nearly 3 times larger than those of overdoped crystals with similar Tc. Despite the large differences in gap magnitude, the tunneling spectra display qualitatively similar characteristics over the entire doping range. Detailed examination of the spectra, including the Josephson IcRn product measured in break junctions, indicates that these energy gaps are predominantly of superconducting origin.
