Local density of states for the corner geometry interface of d-wave superconductors, within the extended Hubbard model

Abstract

The spatial variations of the order parameter, and the local density of states (LDOS) on the corner of s-wave or $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave superconductors, as well as in superconductor-insulator-normal metal interfaces, are calculated self consistently using the Bogoliubov-deGennes formalism within the two dimensional extended Hubbard model. The exact diagonalization method is used. Due to the suppression of the dominant d-wave order parameter, the extended s-wave order parameter is induced near the surface, that alternates its sign for the topmost sites at adjacent edges of the lattice and decays to zero in the bulk. The presence of surface roughness results into the appearance of the zero band conduction peak (ZBCP) near the corner surface which lacks from the predictions of the quasiclassical theory.
