Ak. Rajagopal et Ss. Jha, ANISOTROPIC ORDER PARAMETERS WITH S-WAVE-LIKE AND D-WAVE-LIKE SYMMETRY AND THE TRANSITION-TEMPERATURE IN HIGH-T-C LAYERED SUPERCONDUCTORS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 54(6), 1996, pp. 4331-4335
The wave-vector dependence of superconducting order parameters and the
corresponding transition temperature in three-dimensional layered met
als are investigated. It includes planar anisotropic s-wave-like as we
ll as d-wave-like pairing contributions, but for simplicity only intra
layer pairing of electrons has been considered for tetragonal and orth
orhombic crystal structures, relevant to high-T-c materials. It is sho
wn that for the orthorhombic case order parameters are likely to have
mixed symmetry, whereas in tetragonal structures it is possible to hav
e only planar d-wave-like symmetry with a possible correction term wit
h an additional wavevector dependence in the direction perpendicular t
o the reciprocal layer plane.
