Effect of a Pseudogap in Strong Coupling d-Wave Superconductivity

Abstract

A phenomenological strong coupling model that has been used to analyze superconducting- insulator-superconducting (SIS) break junction experiments on optimal to overdoped Bi-2212 is modified to include a pseudogap. The calculated density of states and SIS conductances are compared with experimental data on the underdoped phase of Bi-2212
