M. Oda et al., STM AND STS STUDIES ON THE SUPERCONDUCTING GAP SYMMETRY OF BI2SR2CACU2O8+DELTA, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 263(1-4), 1996, pp. 241-244
We have measured tunneling spectra of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta while observ
ing the Cu-O plane STM image at T = 6 K. The low-temperature spectra a
re consistent with a superconducting gap with line nodes along the dir
ections of 45 degrees from the Cu-O bond directions, possibly a d(x2-y
2) gap.
