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.Article 1/Nc Expansion and Anomaly Cancellation in the Presence of Electroweak Interactions(IOP Publishing Ltd., 1998) Erdem, RecaiWe study the question of a consistent formulation of the 1/Nc expansion in the presence of electroweak interactions. We show that in some cases the previous formulation leads to an unrealistic picture. We improve the scheme. We derive the corresponding hypercharge and electric charge values of fermions under the requirement that the standard model in the large-Nc limit should be free of chiral gauge anomalies. We find that the resulting hypercharge and the electric charge values for quarks are the same as for the standard model.
