Y. Tanuma et al., THEORY OF LOCAL-DENSITY OF STATES OF D(X(2)-Y(2))-WAVE SUPERCONDUCTING STATE NEAR THE SURFACES OF THE T-J MODEL, Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 67(4), 1998, pp. 1118-1121
Spatial dependencies of the pair potential and the local density of st
ates near the surfaces of d(x2-y2)-wave superconductors are studied th
eoretically. The calculation is based on the t-J model within a mean-f
ield theory with Gutzwiller approximation. Various types of surface ge
ometries are considered. Similar to our result in the extended Hubbard
model, it is found that the formation of zero-energy states strongly
depends on the surface geometry. In addition to this feature, the zero
-energy states give peak splitting for the (110) surfaces when the sup
er-exchange interaction J is large. This is due to the induced s-wave
component near the surface. The present result explains the microscopi
c origin of the spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking at the sur
faces of high-T-c superconductors.
