Nodal and nodeless gap in proximity induced superconductivity: application to monolayer CuO on BSCCO substrate
arXiv:1701.03386 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.96.104507
Abstract
We present a detailed analysis on the hopping between monolayer CuO and bulk CuO plane in the BiSrCaCuO substrate. With a two-band model, we demonstrate that the nodeless gap can only exist when the hole concentration in monolayer CuO plane is very large or very small. We argued that the possible phase separation may play important role in the recent experimental observation of nodeless gap.
