Zero-Bias States and the Mechanism of the Surface d->d+is Transition

Abstract

We study the physical mechanism of the surface d->d+is transition proposed as the interpretation of results of tunneling experiments into ab planes. We base our argument on first-order perturbation theory and show that the zero-bias states drive the transition. We support the argument by various estimates and consistency checks.
