From Tunneling Spectroscopy of Break Junctions(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2002) Özyüzer, Lütfi; Zasadzinski, John F.; Gray, Kenneth E.; Kendziora, Christopher A.; Miyakawa, NobuakiWe report tunneling spectroscopy of superconductor-insulator-superconductor break junctions on heavily overdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ with Tc = 56 K. At T ≪ Tc, the junction conductances display well-defined quasiparticle peaks at ±2Δ and in some cases a Josephson current at zero bias. Gap values as small as Δ = 10.5 meV have been observed leading to 2Δ/kTc near the BCS limit for dx2-y2 pairing. Temperature dependence of the gap magnitude, Δ(T), follows the BCS relation and both the quasiparticle gap and Josephson current vanish for T > Tc. Above Tc, the tunneling conductance shows a flat background without any indication of a pseudogap near the Fermi level.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Aspects 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.
